The Ministry of Public Health has arranged for registration of blood collection service units outside hospitals to support congestion reduction and to ensure that specimens meet quality standards. This research aimed to develop a model for blood collection, specimen collection, and specimen transportation, and to evaluate its effectiveness in out-of-hospital service units in the health service network of Ta Phraya District, Sa Kaeo Province. Action research was applied in combination with systematic teaching based on the “ADDIE Model” with a multidisciplinary team of 60 personnel. Knowledge provision and workshops were conducted through five steps: (1) analysis of context and problems, (2) design and process development, (3) development, (4) implementation, and (5) evaluation of processes and outcomes. Data was collected by questionnaires and performance evaluation forms. Results showed that the average knowledge and practice scores of the multidisciplinary team after development were significantly higher than before development by 3.27 points (SD = 3.03) (p < 0.001). The specimen rejection rate was 0% (goal ≤1%), meeting the standard indicator, and the accuracy rate in specimen transportation for analysis was 100% (goal 100%), also meeting the indicator. The improved model reduced patient waiting time by two hours, with service satisfaction reaching 95% (goal ≥85%). All 15 out-of-hospital service units met the required standards. This workshop-based development model using the ADDIE framework can serve as a prototype for improving other services in the future.
