Clinical Laboratory Sciences 3311 LABORATORY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE (Advanced Immunohematology) At the completion of the CLS 3311 course, the student will have successfully completed the following: (It is noted that all blood banks are not actively seeking automated instruments in their facilities.) 1. The student will correctly perform testing with the analyzers routinely used in the laboratory for immunohematology. This will include correctly troubleshooting analyzer performance problems, and also 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 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 review the calibration procedures for any blood bank equipment used in the laboratory. 4. The student will perform Daily/Shift QC procedures on the analyzers or test methods used in the blood bank. The student will learn the laboratory’s SOP for resolving QC discrepancies, and then correctly apply those procedures, including all required documentation activities. 5. The student will perform, or assist in performing, routine testing (as deemed appropriate for students by the clinical facility) in blood bank. 6. The student will correctly report test results (STATS, critical values, etc.) 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. 1 Form 2-01 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 has practiced 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. 2 Form 2-01 OB AND NEONATAL SPECIMENS 1.
