Turnaround times from specimen receipt to report signing for 212 prospective study specimens. Requisitions were time and date stamped at the time of receipt, and reports were time and date stamped at the time of report signing. The turnaround time was calculated to the nearest minute. The majority of specimens (78.9%) were reported the day following specimen receipt. More than 90% of specimens (91.1%) were reported within 48 hours of specimen receipt. No specimen took longer than 96 hours to report.
