What Causes Delays In Biomarker Test Results? - Nursing Knowledge Exchange

What Causes Delays In Biomarker Test Results? Are you curious about what causes delays in getting biomarker test results? In this informative video, we'll explain the common factors that can slow down this critical part of patient care. We'll start by discussing how delays can happen even before the test is ordered, including issues with test selection and initial decision-making. Then, we'll look into the challenges faced during specimen collection, such as insufficient or poor-quality samples that require repeat biopsies. You'll learn about the transportation process and how logistical issues can add to the wait time, especially when samples need to travel between different locations. We'll also explore how laboratory processing can be slowed down by limited staffing, outdated equipment, or complex testing methods like next-generation sequencing. Additionally, workflow inefficiencies, such as batching samples or manual paperwork, can extend turnaround times. The role of expert interpretation and communication barriers, including slow reporting channels and regional disparities, are also discussed. Finally, we'll highlight how nurses can support faster results by coordinating logistics, advocating for timely testing, and keeping patients informed. Understanding these factors can help improve patient outcomes and streamline care. Join us for this insightful overview, and subscribe to our channel for more helpful nursing content.
