[quote=lgabbert;278 Phlebotomy drew blood and banded. Patient stated name as "Smith," and computer labels are "Smith", therefore banded with that name. Before phlebot leaves room, admitting personnel enters, and patient says she has recently been married, name is "Jones." ER changes name in computer system, so "Smith" is no longer being used. I made phlebot redraw and reband patient. My question is, where do I draw the line? Did I do the correct thing, or should I have let the phlebotomist reband and relabel the patient and blood tubes? I thought the phlebotomist should have rebanded and relabeled in the room before leaving the patient. What do you think?[/quote If the knowledge was acquired before the phleb left the room with the specimen, you can be fairly sure that you have a correct specimen. But "fairly sure" is not okay in Blood Banking.
