The Winners and Their Stories |
 |
Diane Davis, MT(ASCP)SH
All Children's Hospital, Clinical Laboratory Specialist, St. Petersburg, FL
As a Clinical Laboratory Specialist, Diane has been relentless in her pursuit of quality patient care. She exemplifies the pioneering Point-of-Care (POC) Coordinator, developing an entire POC testing program---from scratch and with no set of directions or an existing model. Davis's point-of-care testing (POCT) program, initiated in 1994, has been heralded as "one of the best in the US". It provides testing for three pediatric ICUs, an 80-bed Neonatal ICU, a Cardiovascular OR, the Cath Lab, and the Emergency Room. Physicians and nurses at All Children's use POCT tools so effortlessly now, they have come to take POCT for granted---Diane's goal all along.
