 OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to optimise the aetiological examination process in hospitalised patients to enhance pathogen detection quality and efficiency. The hypothesis was that process management strategies would improve specimen submission rates, quality, timeliness and antimicrobial use adjustment. DESIGN: A multicentre quasi-experimental pre-post comparison design was used, with baseline and postoptimisation phases. SETTING: Two hospitals in Guangming District, Shenzhen, China. PARTICIPANTS: 34 790 inpatients in the baseline and 34 361 in the postoptimisation phase, across all departments. INTERVENTIONS: Implemented process clarification, standardisation of specimen collection/submission and multidisciplinary collaboration, with comprehensive staff training. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome measures were the pathogen submission rate before antimicrobial therapy. The secondary outcome measure was the adjustment rate of antimicrobial use based on test results, specimen qualification rate and specimen submission time. These measures were evaluated before and after process optimisation. RESULTS: Postoptimisation, key metrics improved significantly: pathogen submission rate (50.82%-71.77%), specimen qualification rate (90.20%-98.71%), submission time (192-104 min) and antimicrobial adjustment rate (74.11%-93.24%
