Distribution of videos demonstrating best practices in preventing hemolysis is associated with reduced hemolysis among nurse-collected specimens in hospitals

Including it in ongoing nursing education will fill a knowledge gap that may help to reduce specimen hemolysis.PMID:37579938 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2023.110632
