tat

But she is naturally a more irritable constitution than the black horse; flies tease her more; anything wrong in the harness frets her more; and if she were ill-used or unfairly treated she would not be unlikely to give tit for tat. You know that many high-mettled horses will do so."

I directed him, with jocose reference to the collision of interests between us, to address his letter: "Tit for Tat, Post-office, West Strand."

Saxon an' I believe in tit for tat. So we're wishin' for the day when the table is turned clear around an' we're sittin' as guests at your weddin' supper.

"Und you acknowledge tat you pe te blind dronk and te vool?"

These extended tiers, which supplement the high-volume testing sites to provide full national service coverage, offer an optimised public health approach to balance overall programmatic costs, [8] while lowering and ensuring reliable turnaround time (TAT), irrespective of where the test request originates and in line with local HIV treatment algorithm requirements.

The primary driver of our desire to implement the Lean lab program was our goal to reduce testing TATs. Since implementing the program, we have seen a significant improvement in TATs for positive cultures from all specimen types: blood, stool, urine and others.

Later, they mulled over ideas for Ricky's tats and Becks said he should use Louis.

Hayek (1986) assessed general education teachers' attitude toward TATs by administering a nine-item survey to educators from 100 randomly selected schools with TATs (n = 1,251).

The validated model was then used to study the impact of increasing routine test volumes on TATs of STAT samples.

Our study of outlier TATs, defined as TATs in excess of 70 minutes, showed that only 28% were caused by the analytic phase of the total testing process; most delays occurred in preanalytic steps associated with specimen collection and transport or postanalytic steps involved with reporting the results.[19] Reoccurring items in all studies included the lack of impact of a passive monitoring program and delays due to computerization, stat laboratories, transport time, potassium specimen type, or the type of collection personnel.

The ED admit-to-order variation may be a key influence for ED LOS for chest-pain patients if one considers the impact that improving consistency of laboratory TATs had in eliminating laboratory TAT outlier percentage as a factor for ED LOS in the Holland, et al, study.
