Phlebotomist Specimen Processor
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes:
- Intro paragraph about Ochsner mission and commitment.
- "This job performs various laboratory functions to support the department in patient care. Conducts phlebotomy procedures; processes and receives specimens; accessions specimens; distributes specimens; and performs and results specific test procedures."
- "To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily."
- "The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential duties."
- "This job description is a summary of the primary duties and responsibilities of the job and position. It is not intended to be a comprehensive or all-inclusive listing of duties and responsibilities. Contents are subject to change at the company's discretion."
- Education Required - High School diploma or equivalent
- Work Experience Preferred - Completion of phlebotomy course
- Required - None
- Certifications Preferred - Current license or trainee license in the state of practice
- Knowledge Skills And Abilities (KSAs) Must have computer skills and dexterity required for data entry and retrieval of patient information. Must be proficient with Windows-style applications and keyboard. Effective verbal and written communication skills and the ability to present information clearly and professionally to varying levels of individuals throughout the patient care process. Knowledge of venipuncture procedures Strong interpersonal skills
- Job Duties: Performs clinical assignments. Supports departmental goals and objectives. Processes specimens. Resolves problems. Exhibits versatility and cooperation. Adapts behavior to the specific patient population, including but not limited to: respect for privacy, method of introduction to the patient, adapting explanation of service or procedures to be performed, requesting permissions and communication style. Other related duties as required.
- The above statements describe the general nature and level of work only. They are not an exhaustive list of all required responsibilities, duties, and skills. Other duties may be added, or this description amended at any time.
- Remains knowledgeable on current federal, state and local laws, accreditation standards or regulatory agency requirements that apply to the assigned area of responsibility and ensures compliance with all such laws, regulations and standards.
- This employer maintains and complies with its Compliance & Privacy Program and Standards of Conduct, including the immediate reporting of any known or suspected unethical or questionable behaviors or conduct; patient/employee safety, patient privacy, and/or other compliance-related concerns.
- Physical and Environmental Demands: Medium Work - Exerting 20 to 50 pounds of force occasionally, and/or 10 to 25 pounds of force frequently, and/or greater than negligible up to 10 pounds of force constantly to move objects. (Constantly: activity or condition exists 2/3 or more of the time) to move objects. Physical demand requirements are in excess of those for Sedentary Work. Even though the weight lifted may be only a negligible amount, a job should be rated Light Work: (1) when it requires walking or standing to a significant degree; or (2) when it requires sitting most of the time but entails pushing and/or pulling of arm or leg controls; and/or (3) when the job requires working at a production rate pace entailing the constant pushing and/or pulling of materials even though the weight of those materials is negligible. NOTE: The constant stress and strain of maintaining a production rate pace, especially in an industrial setting, can be and is physically demanding of a worker even though the amount of force exerted is negligible. Mechanical lifting devices (carts, dollies, etc.) or team lifts should be utilized. Must be able to sit for prolonged periods of time. Must be able to travel throughout and between facilities. Must be able to work a flexible work schedule. Duties performed routinely require exposure to blood, body fluid and tissue. There may be an occupational risk for exposure to communicable diseases. Because the incumbent works within a healthcare setting, there may be occupational risk for exposure to hazardous medications or hazardous waste within the environment through receipt, transport, storage, preparation, dispensing, administration, cleaning and/or disposal of contaminated waste. The risk level of exposure may increase depending on the essential job duties of the role.
- Then there is a link to view Ochsner Rush’s delineated job descriptions based on daily duties. That's application instruction? It's a link to request permission. Probably considered application instruction? Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a link to view job descriptions. Might be considered not essential? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is a link to view job descriptions; it's not exactly application but could be considered part of the posting. Might be considered not essential. Safer to drop it.
- Then "Are you ready to make a difference? Apply Today!" That's application instruction, remove.
- Then Ochsner Health does not consider an individual an applicant until they have formally applied... That's application instruction, remove.
- Then "Individuals who reside in and will work from the following areas are not eligible for remote work position: Colorado, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Washington, and Washington D.C." That's location eligibility, maybe considered part of job details? It's not pay/schedule/benefits. Could be considered a requirement? It's about remote work eligibility. Might be considered a requirement. But it's not explicitly listed as a requirement; it's a note about remote work. Could be included under Requirements or Qualifications? Might be considered a condition. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info. Where to place? Could be under Requirements or Qualifications as a note. But we need to avoid filler. It's substantive.
- Then Ochsner Health endeavors to make our site accessible... contact info for accommodation requests. That's EEO/legal boilerplate? It's about accessibility. Might be considered legal boilerplate; but it's not EEO exactly. Might be considered contact info for accommodation. Could be considered part of EEO/legal. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is about accessibility and accommodation requests; could be considered legal boilerplate. Probably remove.
- Then "Ochsner is an equal opportunity employer..." duplicate EEO, remove.
Thus we need to craft sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (job duties), Requirements (education, experience, certifications), Knowledge Skills and Abilities (KSAs), Physical and Environmental Demands (maybe as a section? Could be under Requirements or separate). The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and KSAs into one "Requirements" section? But they are distinct: KSAs are separate. Could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including education, experience, certifications, KSAs), Physical and Environmental Demands, Remote Work Eligibility (maybe under Requirements). But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's see what we have:
- About the role: intro paragraph about Ochsner mission and job purpose.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (phlebotomy, specimen processing, etc.) plus job duties list (clinical assignments, supports goals, processes specimens, resolves problems, versatility, adapts behavior, etc.) plus compliance, etc. Could combine.
- Requirements: Education, Work Experience Preferred, Certifications Preferred, KSAs, Physical and Environmental Demands, Remote Work Eligibility.
- Benefits/Pay/Schedule: Not present, so omit.
We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has real content.
We need to use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide what is a list vs prose. For duties, we can make a
. For requirements, we can make a for each subcategory? Could combine.
Let's extract specific bullet-like items:
From "This job performs various laboratory functions to support the department in patient care. Conducts phlebotomy procedures; processes and receives specimens; accessions specimens; distributes specimens; and performs and results specific test procedures." That's a list of duties separated by semicolons. Could be turned into - Conducts phlebotomy procedures
... etc.
Then "Job Duties Performs clinical assignments. Supports departmental goals and objectives. Processes specimens. Resolves problems. Exhibits versatility and cooperation. Adapts behavior to the specific patient population, including but not limited to: respect for privacy, method of introduction to the patient, adapting explanation of service or procedures to be performed, requesting permissions and communication style. Other related duties as required."
That's also a list.
Then compliance: "Remains knowledgeable on current federal, state and local laws, accreditation standards or regulatory agency requirements that apply to the assigned area of responsibility and ensures compliance with all such laws, regulations and standards." That's a duty.
Then "This employer maintains and complies with its Compliance & Privacy Program and Standards of Conduct, including the immediate reporting of any known or suspected unethical or questionable behaviors or conduct; patient/employee safety, patient privacy, and/or other compliance-related concerns." That's also a duty.
Thus we can combine all duties into a single list.
Now requirements:
- Education Required - High School diploma or equivalent
- Work Experience Preferred - Completion of phlebotomy course
- Required - None (maybe we can omit as it's just "None")
- Certifications Preferred - Current license or trainee license in the state of practice
- Knowledge Skills And Abilities (KSAs): list items:
* Must have computer skills and dexterity required for data entry and retrieval of patient information.
* Must be proficient with Windows-style applications and keyboard.
* Effective verbal and written communication skills and the ability to present information clearly and professionally to varying levels of individuals throughout the patient care process.
* Knowledge of venipuncture procedures
* Strong interpersonal skills
- Physical and Environmental Demands: a paragraph with details. Could be a with the details.
- Remote Work Eligibility: Individuals who reside in and will work from the following areas are not eligible for remote work position: list of states. That's a list.
We need to avoid filler like "Required - None". Could we omit that line? It's not adding substantive info; it's just stating none required. Might be considered filler. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. "Required - None" is substantive? It says no required work experience. That's info. Could keep as a
- maybe "No required work experience". But we already have "Work Experience Preferred - Completion of phlebotomy course". So we could note that no work experience is required
