Another idea for Directors of Laboratory Services is educating employees, this can be done by offering online modules to updating training skills, introducing new software and data entry procedures, provide lectures, webinars and workshops on new equipment, procedures and usage, and available training programs. This will keep employees updated and trained to handle the continuous change in technology, software, and new equipment.
The department provides a strategic plan for pathology and clinical procedures to ensure that the lab is running effective and efficiently, but to also provide our patients with the best quality care possible. This includes maximizing our resources through test utilization, measuring productivity, providing a friendly work environment with options for recruitment, mentorship. We will lead in educating both our staff/faculty and community. Create a culture of excellence and quality improvement by providing an error reduction, client satisfaction, and staff awareness through lab surveys.
To develop a departmental plan for laboratory services we must consider ethical issues or dilemma’s the department may face. Many of the ethical issues or dilemmas faced by the department include: Health and safety- The proper procedure
In the essay I have talked about lab procedures lab practice, standard operation procedure communication, training, risk assessment, HSE and HSE inspection Health and welfare at work act 2005 and finally I have talked about Health and safety in a laboratory.
The lab is an important part of the healthcare team providing lab values that help doctors make medical decisions on how to treat their patients. Team member C is the lab staff manager who is experienced in the work flow of the lab and processes of the lab staff. The lab staff manager role is responsible for communicating the needs of the lab staff to the project team and understands the needs of their department within the electronic medical record (EMR) system. The Lab Staff Manager will also inspire lab staff to embrace change and provide education about the EMR system to their lab staff.
The fourth member is the laboratory supervisor. She is a bachelor prepared medical technician with experience with integration of laboratory equipment and computerized health systems. It will be important to have her input during the selection process. She will be able to train the other laboratory staff. It is her job to evaluate the systems and decide which is best for the laboratory. Making sure that the system works smoothly with the laboratory equipment is extremely important.
A person with the right personality and attitude can influence other 's, and I feel I 'm a great example of that. My personal ambition to reach new heights has also motivated me to apply for the staff position on Skyblocky.

This code of conduct covers attitudes to work that ensure good professional practice is performed safely and effectively, by providing a form of guidance and support from the IBMS professional body; all members of the IBMS are expected to abide by these standards and maintain them. The standards can be applicable to both members and non-members of the IBMS, although they are the recommendations of the professional body in what reflects the optimal form of practice that can be achieved. Divided into three generic standards, they cover aspects of professionalism, personal behaviour, and a large focus on the training and competence of the members. Each standard applies to working as a biomedical scientist in a laboratory. In a workplace that is exposed to personal and sensitive information of the service users, it is important to maintain the highest standards of professional practice, acting in the best interest of the patients.
Journal article based on Lisa Epsioteo’s article “Hospital Labs: Behind the Scenes,” posted on 30 January 2015 from U.S News, which demonstrate the importance of lab tech duties like analyzing specimen for the patient safety. It gives basic ideology of lab tech work, also informs, and provides learning experience about covert scientist and phlebotomist working at their respective work
I believe that a stakeholder that we wouldn’t think of as much in the US healthcare system is laboratory technicians. Without them, hospitals would run chaos. Phlebotomist use record keeping and they also pay attention to detail which are extremely important in this field. Phlebotomist will often use computers to input all the necessary data about each patient. Preparing samples for laboratory analysis and storing them appropriately are included in the responsibilities of the phlebotomist. If doctors and nurses don’t get those analysis from the phlebotomist, how are they supposed to act when it comes to the care of the patient, if they don’t have a start point? Patient management, progress and decisions about treatment are based on the results
This paper will explore into a Laboratory Technician based on information collected from one textbook, and six published books. Chernecky (2009) will discuss the type of work done in the career, specifically towards collecting samples and analyzing body fluids, and other substances. McPherson (2007) will provide the information on the working conditions and the job outlooks for the future and the wages and benefits of the career. Van Leeuwen (2009) will explain the three methods and strategies for dealing with stress in this career, explaining strategies and basic techniques. Ramakrishnan (2012) will discuss the educational requirements, and the advancements opportunities. Hopkins (2009) will state the equipment utilized with this career, and
Consults with physicians, hospital personnel and independent and hospital laboratory personnel regarding common laboratory problems.

After discovering my passion for science and math, I pursue a career in Clinical Laboratory Science with enthusiasm. My desire to study this subject originates from the exciting and rapidly-moving subject area that is highly relevant to major issues facing society today. Clinical Laboratory Scientists play a crucial role in the healthcare field; in detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease in patients. My goal is to be involved in the latest advances in medical research and to constantly be expanding my knowledge about my field. On top of this goal, Clinical Laboratory Science remains a challenging, rewarding and inspiring topic that will motivate and shape my career for my entire life.
I intend to study Medical Laboratory Science at South Dakota State University. My goal is to acquire my bachelor’s degree by completing four years in that program to earn a degree that would allow me to find a high paying career. An additional perk to my career path would be the fact that Medical Laboratory Science positions are highly in demand in South Dakota. I do plan to live and work in South Dakota after I graduate. I wish to gain a lot of experience out of this education, and gain the ability to help save lives by diagnosing and researching in a medical setting. Pursuing a college education would gain me a vast array of different career opportunities if I found that Medical Laboratory Science wasn’t for me, along with greatly increasing
