Quality Improvement of Blood Drawing Through Targeted Training Using an Operation Support System.

In order to reduce the rate of needle re-insertion (hereafter, retaking) during a blood drawing operation, we proposed a method for training blood drawing staff, based on data analysis. The method is composed of three steps: (1) analysis of collected data for selecting staff to be trained intensively, (2) training, and (3) assessment of training results. We obtained the result that the retaking rate was reduced for the trained staff.
