RESUMO
A method of specimen turnround time audit, directly controlled by laboratory staff, was applied to a bacteriology service to assess service efficiency and identify delays and other deficiencies, so that resources could be optimised. The method provided a complete collection of turnround time data and was easy to use. Delays of both administrative and technical natures were identified, and with minimal reorganisation the mean turnround time was improved.
