Phlebotomy Practice and Definition
Definition of Phlebotomy
Derived from the Greek words, phlebo, which relates to veins, and tomy, which relates to cutting Synonomous words are venesection or venisection. Definition can be summarized as the incision of a vein for blood letting.

Quality Improvement and Assessment
Quality in health care uses three major concepts
Efficacythe health care services provided have a positive impact on the patients health, that is, the patient improves or gets well. Appropriatenessprocedures performed on the patient are the correct ones for that particular condition or illness. Caring functionsservices provided to the patient are available, timely, effective, safe, efficient, respectful, and sensitive to the patients needs.

Tools for Quality Performance Assessment
Reviewing the analytic and nonanalytic parts of the laboratory
Check sheets Flow-charts or process maps Run charts Statistical tests
Analytically, clinical laboratory scientists and technicians use data collection to ensure
Test sensitivity Specificity Precision and accuracy
Nonanalytic data can be used to assess the timeliness of responses to
Requests Turnaround time for reporting test results Effective communication
