Clinical Laboratory Sciences 2215 LABORATORY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE (Principles of Immunohematology) At the completion of the CLS 2215 course, the student will have successfully completed the following: (It is noted that not all blood banks have or are seeking to institute automated instruments into their facilities.) 1. The student will have the opportunity to correctly perform testing with the analyzers routinely used in the laboratory for immunohematology if available. This will include but is not limited to correctly troubleshooting analyzer performance problems, evaluating patient test results for critical values, short-sampling errors, and inappropriate specimens. The student will change or replace reagents / disposables as needed by the analyzer(s). 2. The student will have the opportunity to correctly perform, or assist in performing Daily and Weekly Preventative Maintenance on the blood bank equipment routinely used in the laboratory 3. The student will have the opportunity to review the calibration procedures for any blood bank equipment used in the laboratory. 4. The student will have the opportunity to perform Daily/Shift QC procedures on the analyzers or test methods used in the blood bank. The student will have the opportunity to learn the laboratory’s SOP for resolving QC discrepancies, and then correctly apply those procedures, including all required documentation activities. 5. The student will have the opportunity to perform, or assist in performing, routine testing (as deemed appropriate for students by the clinical facility) in blood bank. 6. The student will have the opportunity to correctly report test results (STATS, critical values, etc.) by entering data into the laboratory computer system and by telephone to a nurse, physician or other appropriate health care professional, according to the SOP used by the laboratory. Students should work together with their respective mentors to complete the listed objectives. Accuracy, precision, timely reporting of test results, and demeanor must comply with the laboratory's acceptable standards. While working in the laboratory, the student must meet laboratory standards for patient confidentiality, communication skills, laboratory safety, universal precautions, waste disposal, and equipment/work area maintenance. It is requested that the student's laboratory competency evaluation be completed by the clinical mentor in the presence of the student so as to allow verbal feedback to the student regarding the student's progress and performance. LEVELS OF ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL 1: Discussed: Process was discussed, principle explained, or the student acknowledges an understanding of the process or principle. LEVEL 2: Demonstrated: Process has been performed and demonstrated by the practicum instructor. Student has observed demonstration and has been allowed to ask questions as needed. The student acknowledges an understanding of the process or principle by verbally explaining the process or principle back to the student’s mentor. LEVEL 3: Practiced: Student haspracticed the process under the direction and maximum supervision of the student’s mentor. The student demonstrates a knowledge of how to perform the process or task by actual performance under direct, maximum supervision, but without having to demonstrate any particular competency at that task or process. LEVEL 4: Maximum Supervision: The student has performed the process under the direct, maximum supervision of the student’s mentor, and with the level of competency required by the laboratory for that task or process. LEVEL 5: Minimum Supervision: The student can perform the process satisfactorily with only minimum, or non-direct supervision by the student’s mentor, and the performance meets the level of competency required by the laboratory for that task or process. N/A: Not Available/Applicable: Due to the nature of the laboratory, the student does not have access to the equipment/test method. 3. Correctly demonstrates a knowledge of antigen typing (Perform 1 Phenotype) 5 4. Correctly demonstrates a knowledge of elution techniques specific for his/her facility. (Perform 1 elution) 5 5. Correctly demonstrates a knowledge of transfusion reaction workups specific for his/her facility. 5 AFFECTIVE OBJECTIVES Honesty 1. Demonstrates honesty by accepting quality control values only when within acceptable limits, and will properly record the results in accordance to the lab’s established QC protocol. 5 2. Demonstrates honesty in all areas of laboratory work, to include performing and documenting daily, weekly, and monthly preventative maintenance procedures, temperature checks, etc. 5 3. Demonstrates honesty by maintaining strict patient confidentiality regarding laboratory test results, diagnosis, and treatment. 5 4. Demonstrates honesty by personally completing and reporting all laboratory tests in strict adherence to the laboratory’s SOPs, taking no shortcuts or unauthorized modifications in those SOPs. 5 Personal Interactive Skills 1. Demonstrates appropriate professional behavior by working with co-workers in a productive, positive, non-aggressive and non- combative manner which will promote a smooth and productive work flow. 5 2. Demonstrates appropriate professional behavior by refraining from making statements or actions, or encouraging the same from others, that represent sexual, racial, ethnic, or homophobic harassment. 5 Organization 3. The student will demonstrate a high degree of organizational skills by being able to work on multiple tasks in a logical fashion without detrimentally affecting the timely reporting of patient results or the quality of the test results. 5 Professional Demeanor 1. Demonstrates appropriate professional demeanor by promptly and consistently attending all laboratory sessions and following all safety and other procedural guidelines for performance and behavior consistent with OSHA, CAP, and other University requirements. 5 2. Demonstrates appropriate professional demeanor by consistently remaining in the work area during scheduled shifts and completing all required work in willing and thorough manner. 5 3. Demonstrates appropriate professional demeanor by adhering to the current dress and appearance codes while in the laboratory setting. 5 4. Demonstrates appropriate professional demeanor by willingly and consistently using all appropriate personal safety devices required by OSHA, CAP, and JCAHO when handling caustic, infectious, or hazardous materials. 5
