safe trace and product id tags

[wmp2454]

Does anyone out there using SAFETRACE tx  use a peel off label for their issue /transfuse cards or product tags (as they are referred to in safe trace). It appears that we will have to use 2 papers one to stay with the unit and the other for the chart. we will be going to EPIC and safetrace.

 

Currently with meditech (BCTA) we have a nice address size peel off label that contains all the pertinent info that is printed off when a patient product tag is requested. The paper that it is peeled off of has the same info plus more used for downtime backup . Works great.

Yes.  We use SafeTrace Tx and we will also be moving to EPIC.  We have all electronic documentation to the EMR (except with some emergency release units) which has paper.  After transfusion of the emergency release units, they are updated in the transfusion lab in SafeTrace Tx which in turn, ends up back in the EMR.

ETA we are trying to get rid of it

We have SafeTrace and use a paper tag (p-tag) that is attached to the unit at issue. It remains attached until the unit is transfused and then the paper is removed and placed on the chart. 

The only time I have seen a sticker affixed to a unit was when I was working in a hospital that used Cerner Classic. At that time, there was also a multi-part transfusion report form also.

Stickers are no longer permissable unless they use an approved glue.

We use P-tag 67.  It has a label on the bottom half of the tag that you can peel off and put on the unit.
