WHat job title does your facility give the personnel overseeing POC testing?


Does the facility equate to a bench tech or lead tech?

My title is Point of Care Coordinator.


It is considered an administrative position, full time, equivical to our clinical department supervisors. I report directly to our Lab director though.


 

POCC.


Listed at the Coordinator Level (along with LIS) equivocal to a Dept Supervisor.  Reporting to both Laboratory Medical Director and Laboratory Director.

The same as Michelle; coordinator, administrative, full time, salaried, lab director direct report.

Point of Care Testing Coordinator/CLS


It falls between lead tech and supervisor. I report to the hematology supervisor here (who is extremely supportive I must add).

Karen,


We are probably different than most in how this is done.


Currently, I am a Laboratory Supervisor due to a reorganization of internal processes. My job title used to be Regional POCT coordinator. As the lab supervisor, I am doing the same job, same pay...with a different title and boss. My corporation is working on new job classifications so eventually I will be a POCC again.


I am the only POCT FTE that is full time. I have someone in each of 6 labs that is the POCT contact. These people can be lead techs (4 of them?), regular bench techs to whom POCT is an "other duty as assigned" and one of them is a Lab Coordinator. In one place, the "POCC" person is a 32 hours POCC that does not do bench work. She is brand new to POCT and is currently training. It may be less than FT when she is fully trained but as I understand this it is up to her. No one reports to me in this position.


In my last job, anyone who did POCC was a POCC. PT or FT....no matter. I was the POCT supervisor. I had two people reporting to me at one time, briefly.


My guess is that this will not help....sorry.

Point of Care Coordinator. I am under the Core Supervisor (Chemistry/Hematology) supervisor and I'm somewhere between bench staff and supervisor.

Point of Care Coordinator. I am considered a Lead Tech.

I am POCC, I am the only one who does this, on top of all of the duties that I have with POC, I also oversee Chemistry as one of the supervisors there and I also do bench work on top of that. I report to our Lab Director, and she is very supportive in giving me the time needed. We are a small facility and only do Glucoses, but with every thing else it is a lot. I am the only one who does Nurse Orientation and the yearly Skills for the meters, orientation is every 2 and 4th Tuesday of the month. I am hourly and I normally come in early before I start working the bench to take care of some things, and then stay afterwards to complete what has been started. I do get days for off bench work, but they never seem to be enough

So, Charles Hill, you are 'somewhere over the rainbow'?


;-)


 


I had to!


 

I am the Point of Care Coordinator. My title is Nursing Education Leader and  Infection Control Officer

Peggy. I cannot confirm or deny my proximity to Oz or Kansas. Laughing

It definitely varies from org to org.


Where I work  (Medical Center/Magnet Recognized) I have a POCC who is my assistant (MT w/ experience), my title is POCS, Laboratory/Quality Improvement Supervisor (Administration) and I hold RN, MT license's.  I report directly to the Laboratory Director.  

Title is Point of Care Coordinator.


They viewed it as a lead tech position based on the pay I was initially offered, but I changed that.


I'd say it's somewhere between a lead tech and a supervisor since I don't have anyone report to me, hence the Coordinator title.


I report directly to the Lab Manager.

I am a POC Specialist.  I'm not a supervisor because I don't have anyone reporting to me.  I report to the Lab Director and DON.

Note to Charles - I am somewhat challenged on geography outside of the USA, aka Oz, but do have more smarts than the Scarecrow. WVA is not known for it's Totos. HA!


My yellow brick road leads to Hospital & Clinics Dept, not Pathology/Lab Services. My title is Program Manager (and I cover more than POCT). The main campus lead does report through the lab and that title is POC Technical Supervisor. Her direct reports are titled Med lab Scientist in the campus directory but we all are considered 'POCCs' even if our titles are not so.
