What Every Phlebotomist Should Know: Uncovering Errors

6.0 Contact Hours ($59.99)

Course Description

6.0 Contact Hours ($59.99): To understand how diagnostic testing errors occur, we will review the path of a laboratory order from physician to report. We will learn the process steps and activities along the path of a order through three phases of test development called pre-analytic, analytic and post-analytic. By following the path from order to report we examine each phase and highlight the incidence of diagnostic errors occurring within each area of testing.

This course includes the following

• Several instructional videos
• Quiz: 10-questions to test your knowledge and understanding of the material
• Challenge question to identify errors throughout the process
• Course assignment to practice your newly learned skill
