Hardworking, dependable self-starter who works well on a team. Excellent organizational skills and problem solving abilities.Accomplishments include:ASCP(cm) certifiedCertified CAP Inspector Urinalysis Lead TechMember of the Coagulation/Urinalysis Best Practice Team (BPT). Members on this team discuss and debate all aspects of both the Coagulation and Urinalysis Department's operations and functions, specifically in how they relates to efficiency, cost, patient safety and care. Decisions and consensus are then acheived, and objectives are instituted that affect change throughout all of Centura's eighteen Hospitals. As a member of this team, I've written Policies and Procedures, participated in validation/timing studies, performed annual lot rollovers, and helped prepare for and pass CAP inspections with minimal deficiencies.
