TAT ( Turn Around Time )

What is TAT?
Turn around time is the amount of time that used to complete or fulfil a request. It can be taken as the indicator of the laboratory effectiveness.



In the medical centre I am trained, they have a systematic way to track the TAT as shown in the photo below. We are able to know when the requisition form and sample have sent in and when the overall test has completed. Besides, the type and number of samples will also written on the form. Therefore, there will be a place to refer when the samples are suspected to be missing.
