Each step along the bloodstream infection diagnostic pathway is key to ensure accurate and timely diagnosis and improve patient outcomes. Nursing/phlebotomy and lab leaders play distinct yet interconnected and critical roles in that process. In the absence of functional alignment, metrics and benchmarking that span the entire diagnostic pathway, it is difficult for either team to fully appreciate each other's worlds and their combined impact on patient care.
At BD, we believe the real opportunity to make substantial impact lies in considering the entire diagnostic pathway.
We understand the challenges that you face and recognize the interdependencies between blood collection, blood culture processing, identification and susceptibility testing, reporting, and their combined impact on operational targets, key performance indicators and patient care. The integrated, end-to-end BD Bloodstream Infection Solution helps connect all the key stakeholders across each essential step along the bloodstream infection diagnostic continuum to help impact patient outcomes.
