Tightening QC on morning draws

We tightened our 0700 rounds by assigning a second verifier at the bedside and auditing two identifiers and tube labeling on every first stick; in week one, hemolysis fell from 3.2% to 0.9%. For those supervising busy floors, have you kept the gains after the first month, and which metric besides reject rate has kept your team locked in?

We kept the 0700 gains by turning the second verifier into a roving auditor after week two and posting weekly first-stick success and bedside scan compliance by unit; hemolysis has held around 0.8%. > fell from 3.2% to 0.9%. For those supervising busy floors, have you kept the gains Agree, but the extra bedside body wasn’t sustainable — 0645 three‑minute huddles plus random spot checks kept people honest; , scan compliance dips on surge days, so we capped 6 rooms per tech. Would using scan compliance as your lead metric fit your workflow?
