July 2019—Magnolia Medical Technologies and the Center for Phlebotomy Education have expanded their training and education partnership with a Web-based continuing education course now available with Professional Acknowledgment for Continuing Education (PACE) credits.
The course, titled “Preventing Blood Culture Contamination with a Closed-System Mechanical Initial Specimen Diversion Device (ISDD),” provides phlebotomists and laboratory personnel with the latest evidence-based best practices for preventing blood culture contamination. The course also analyzes the impact of sepsis misdiagnosis on unnecessary antibiotic treatment and the downstream effects on patient safety and hospital costs. Participants will earn one PACE credit hour toward their annual training and education requirements.
