Turnaround Time (TAT) is a key indicator of clinical laboratory performance as it affects diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making. This study aimed to compare complete blood count (CBC) TAT before and after the implementation of LIS–HMIS integration at Tabanan Regional General Hospital. This study used a quantitative comparative design with secondary data obtained from LIS and HMIS logs. A total of 316 records before integration (January–March 2025) and 316 records after integration (May–July 2025) were selected using simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the proportion of TAT meeting the standard increased from 71.52% before integration to 75.95% after integration. However, statistical analysis indicated no significant difference (p=0.259). These findings suggest that LIS–HMIS integration improves operational efficiency, although the improvement is not statistically significant.
