Abstract

Introduction : The major work of clinical immunology section is to determine the  immunological substances in serum using immunological assays. The clinical assessment done in our section comprises HIV infection, hepatitis virus infection, syphilis, tumor markers and hormones. Our section is supplied with advanced instruments in order to produce accurate and reliable outcome. In addition, the rapid result is one of the most important services to support and assist the physicians in terms of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.


Objective : This study is to develop our service system for same day results.


Methodology : The research and development was conducted in Clinical Immunology section,  Central  Laboratory  Department, Taksin  Hospital. From June to December 2014. By increasing times of specimen reception, using two fully automatic instruments, performing internal quality control by OPSpecs chart to select a suitable rule to allow for error detection with low false rejection.


Results : The 6,922 specimens were requested for same day results and 6,913 (99.87 %) could be accomplished. About satisfaction evaluation, 86 % of clients expressed moderate to much appreciation.


Conclusion : The results from this study indicated the increasing capability of our service system and it could be used for continuous development in our laboratory in order to make more satisfaction to clients.
