PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES. 109. The Department agrees to continue the a.m. and p.m. blood draws utilizing phlebotomist(s).
PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES. Phlebotomy services, including blood culture draws, shall be available twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Eight (8) daily, phlebotomy rounds for all previously designated (excludes ED, all ICUs, PACU and OR) inpatient areas will be provided 7 days a week for all properly executed requests received in the Clinical Labs. (For electronic orders, cut- off is 5:30 am for 7 am draw, and 30 minutes previous to other draw times.) On-call phlebotomists will be available on each campus if a blood draw or culture is needed between scheduled rounds. All blood draws which cannot be obtained by the phlebotomy service shall be reattempted or reevaluated within 2 hours by the service, with the exception of overnight during the hours of 11 PM (2300) to 0400 AM. Due to the fact that there is only one phlebotomist scheduled during this time frame and per procedure, only 2 attempts are made per phlebotomist. In the event, the phlebotomist has to reschedule collection until 4 AM or unless the attending physician deems it clinically necessary for the House Officer to do the draw. All unsatisfactory or misplaced specimens obtained by the phlebotomy service will be redrawn by the service once notified by the provider with an updated request submitted in EMR. Phlebotomy will notify the patient’s nurse if he/she is ultimately unable to draw the blood, for whatever reason. Phlebotomy services will be available in the outpatient clinical areas during regular clinic hours, 7:30 am – 6:00 pm, with the exception of the Yawkey Ambulatory Care Center where the hours of operation are from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM (2000).
PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES. 1. Routine daily phlebotomy rounds in all inpatient areas will be provided seven days a week, beginning by 7 am for morning rounds and 2 pm for afternoon rounds, for all properly executed requests received prior to 6 am (afternoon: 1 pm).
PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES. The Hospital will maintain a program for the provision of phlebotomy services which will be primarily responsible for providing urgent and routine phlebotomy services. It is the Hospital’s goal that Residents will not be primarily responsible for providing routine phlebotomy services, and that Residents normally will not be required to perform routine phlebotomy services between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. However, it is recognized that proficiency in the performance of phlebotomy services is an objective of Pediatric Residency Training and Residents must perform this service as needed based on patient care needs or as necessary to develop the skill consistent with ACGME requirements. It is the responsibility of the Residents to work with the Hospital to identify deficiencies in ancillary services. This will include the provision of adequate information in order to assist the Hospital in identifying the reason(s) for these deficiencies and to enable the Hospital to take appropriate remedial action. The Parties agree to establish an Ancillary Services Committee for the purpose of discussing Resident’s performance of ancillary services. The Committee shall consist of the TPD and two additional members selected by the Hospital and three Residents selected by the Union. The Committee will discuss the performance of ancillary services with the goal of making recommendations for any proposed changes it can agree upon within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the effective date of this Agreement. The Committee shall have its first meeting within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Agreement and shall meet at least once per month for four (4) months, at which point the Committee will be disbanded. The Hospital will consider any recommendations of the Committee for changes to the performance of ancillary services by Residents but will retain ultimate authority for determining how ancillary services are provided and who performs them, subject to the provisions of this Paragraph (T).
PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES. The Hospital will maintain a program for the provision of phlebotomy services which will be primarily responsible for providing urgent and routine phlebotomy services. It is the Hospital’s goal that Residents will not be primarily responsible for providing routine phlebotomy services and that Residents normally will not be required to perform routine phlebotomy services unless it is required by their training program, as needed based on emergency patient care needs, or as necessary to develop the skill consistent with ACGME requirements. The topic of ancillary services shall be a standing agenda item on each labor management committee meeting. The Union will have the opportunity to communicate accurate information about ancillary issues to management at these meetings and the committee will attempt to formulate solutions.
PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES. 5.1 The Contractor shall provide scheduled phlebotomy services to the Purchasing Agencies. Charges for scheduled phlebotomy services shall be included as a separate line item on the Contractor’s price list.
PHLEBOTOMY SERVICES a. The Contractor shall provide a certified phlebotomist to perform Services at the Client Agency. The phlebotomist shall be responsible for drawing, preparing and at times providing transportation of samples (if courier is phlebotomist) directly to the Contractor’s laboratory for testing.
