Interventions

DEVICEPIMPmyHospital (mobile app)

After the implementation of the app, data will be collected prospectively over a 6-month period of use. This will include the times (HH:MM:SS) when the results issued by the central laboratory are made available on caregivers' mobile app and access times (as well as concurrent or preferred access times on the conventional computerized workstations should this occur).
