Abstract:
Retaining skilled and experienced employees in patient care organizations, particularly in laboratory and phlebotomy departments, is a daunting task. Despite the high demand for phlebotomists, the compensation and pay scales often do not align with the workload required to provide exceptional patient care. As a result, many newly trained phlebotomists tend to terminate their employment within a short time due to low compensation and excessive work pressure. The impact of such a trend on an organization's ability to achieve its mission can be significant and can lead to a shortage of skilled professionals in the industry. To better understand the factors contributing to phlebotomist retention problems in organizations, we conducted several interviews within our organization. Based on our findings, we have identified the various factors contributing to the issue and developed practical suggestions to address them.Areas of Interest My interest in healthcare In healthcare administration, effective leadership is not just about managing resources; it also involves guiding teams, making critical decisions, and ensuring patient well-being.Key challenges in healthcare Healthcare worker shortages are increasing due to an aging population, leading to strain on operational capacity and excessive workloads for existing staff.What has changed?Fostering a supportive and uplifting work atmosphere can play a significant role in motivating employees to remain with the company for an extended period.

It also improves healthcare access for rural populations.Potential Capstone Topics TopicQuestionsRanking
