Auntie-D Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Our current procedure says we only check out blood to a licensed RN, LPN, Paramedic, or Perfusionist.Is that a hospital decision ? Can I change that? I've worked in a lab where the porters were allowed to collect blood (lab's own porters) as long as they were fully competency assessed. In our current lab our Lab Assistants do some running. amym1586 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macarton Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I tell them we aren't Pizza Hut. It is rare that we have more than one Tech available on the bench for a 320 bed hospital, plus doing reference workups for our sister hospital.

David Saikin Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Our current procedure says we only check out blood to a licensed RN, LPN, Paramedic, or Perfusionist. Is that a hospital decision ? Can I change that? I worked in a 700+bed hospital. We had transporters who delivered blood. They had training and competencies. Here I have no policy on who can sign blood out. We've even given it to the housekeepers in emergencies BUT they know that it goes right away to where it is needed. Our only policy is on who can hang it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 We do not deliver. Period...For external disaster...May be I could think...but routinely no!!
