Question 1 of 30👑 VIP
A hospital laboratory director asks you to evaluate why turnaround time (TAT) for STAT chemistry panels has increased from 32 minutes to 58 minutes over the past six weeks. Specimen volume has not changed, and no new analyzers have been introduced. Upon observation, you notice that centrifuges are spinning for 15 minutes rather than the protocol-required 10 minutes. Which root-cause analysis tool would BEST systematically identify whether this centrifuge change is the primary driver versus one of several contributing factors?
