margaretcox Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Wondering who performs therapeutics in your hospital: BB tech vs. phlebotomy staff? A few individuals vs. spread around among all staff? thanks - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMcCord Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 We handed our therapeutic phlebotomies over to the Outpatient Infusion Clinic several years ago - at their request - so, that it makes it a nursing function. (Can you see me smiling?) When we did them, it was a tech that drew the patient. We are a smaller facility, so I trained all of the rotators who worked regularly in Blood Bank on day shift. If Blood Bank was too busy (2 techs) to cope with the phlebotomy on any given day, we always had 1-4 other techs we could recruit from the main lab to perform the phlebotomy.

L106 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Nursing staff does therapeutic phlebotomies at our hospital, usually the Outpatient Care area (where they do Outpatient transfusions.) Just a comment: it seems to me that we do very, very few therapeutic phlebotomies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
