परिणाम सत्यापन में देरी और प्राप्य दिन (A/R Days) में वृद्धि
Definition
Lab order-to-result-to-billing pipeline experiences delays at critical checkpoints: (1) Manual sample routing and QC approval by pathologists (2-5 days); (2) Report entry and manual dispatch (1-3 days); (3) Delayed physician notification and patient billing initiation. Search results show LIMS features like 'QC Approval', 'Report Entry', 'Dispatch', and 'Digital Reporting (WhatsApp/SMS/Email)' designed to eliminate these delays. Manual verification creates 'slow payment verification' per audit taxonomy.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 15-25 days A/R cycle vs. 5-7 days with LIMS; ₹50-100 per test × 1000 tests/day = ₹50,000-1,00,000 daily cash float tied up per facility
- Frequency: Continuous (every test, every day)
- Root Cause: Manual QC approval workflows; paper-based or email-based result dispatch; lack of real-time pathologist authorization via mobile/web interfaces
