Create a New Hire Orientation Plan

What You'll Get

A structured 90-day orientation plan for a new lab technician — outlining what they'll learn, when, and how their progress will be assessed — that meets CLIA competency assessment requirements.

The Prompt

Create a 90-day orientation and competency assessment plan for a new [MLT/MLS] in a hospital [section name] section. Include: Week 1 (facility orientation, safety training, LIS introduction), Weeks 2-8 (progressive testing competency by procedure type), Month 3 (independent competency demonstration, formal assessment). Specify which competency elements must be documented for CLIA compliance (direct observation, records review, test performance, PT, etc.).

Tips

Customize the instrument and section details in your prompt — a generic "clinical chemistry section" plan is harder to use than one that mentions your specific analyzer. Save the final version as a template and update it only when instruments or SOPs change.
