The Impact of Urinalysis Turnaround Times on Patient Disposition in the Emergency Department
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between urinalysis (UA) turnaround times and patient disposition times in the emergency department, particularly for patients with abdominopelvic complaints. Their retrospective analysis of 6,708 discharged patients revealed a modest positive correlation between UA order-to-result times and time to disposition, suggesting that improving UA processing times could enhance patient throughput in the ED.
