o Collaborate with clinical and laboratory teams to standardize best practices for lab-related workflows in nursing units and clinics to include but not limited to order management, specimen collection and specimen labeling.

o Design onboarding and competency validation for new nursing staff specific to laboratory processes.

o When appropriate, coordinate policy and procedure updates in TriCore and hospital document control system.

o Participate in new employee orientation training for Division as requested.

• Process Improvement & Clinical Integration

o Conduct gap analyses to identify knowledge or compliance issues related to lab procedures across care teams. Review hospital system non-conforming events and TriCore exceptions to determine areas of opportunity.

o Lead educational initiatives to reduce specimen rejection rates, and improve turnaround times.

• Quality, Compliance & Safety

o Ensure training aligns with regulatory standards (e.g., CLIA, CAP, The Joint Commission) and institutional policies.

o Educate staff on the impact of pre-analytical errors and mitigation strategies.

o Support POCT education, competency, and audit readiness in coordination with the POCT or Lab Manager.

o Participate in quality assurance processes including root cause analysis and non-conforming event investigations.

• Collaboration & Communication

o Act as a liaison between nursing units, clinics and laboratory departments to foster mutual understanding and operational alignment.

o Attend interdisciplinary meetings to represent nursing education needs in lab-related topics.

o Provide real-time coaching during audits, investigations, or workflow changes.

• Transfusion Services Focus

o Collaborate with nursing leadership on a training program to better identify transfusion reactions.

o Educate on proper specimen identification for type and screen/crossmatch to prevent WBIT (Wrong Blood In Tube) events.

o Reduce blood product wastage through establishing training which supports nursing adherence to blood product storage, transport, verification, and infusion timelines.

o Assist in mock codes, emergency release protocols, and massive transfusion protocol (MTP) training.

MINIMUM EDUCATION:
