Abstract

This study explores how patient's laboratory result are accessed in pediatric emergency departments. The rapid turnaround of laboratory results and their timely access by the medical team are crucial for effective patient management and care decision-making. This study revealed a systematic access prioritization to the Electronic Health Record, led by physicians, followed by nurses, and then other healthcare staff Despite efforts to streamline access through computerized laboratory results, optimized laboratory turnaround time and integration of final results into the electronic health record remain key challenges. Delays in accessing analysis results issued by the central hospital laboratory are consistently experienced across various laboratory types, indicating broader systemic workflow issues rather than inefficiencies specific to individual laboratories.
