Thank you for the beautiful snowflakes, Cliff. Happy New Year!

Just to add to what others have already said... Your prenatals and babies don't need second types unless they are for transfusion, which I assume most of them are not. We built more than just "Yes" and "No" to result the History Check field: No Previous History, Previous History Negative, History of an Antibody, ABO/Rh History Only. Then there is a separate field "Retype Needed?" which is yes/no, with yes reflexing a retype with no charge attached. The tech has to look at the situation and decide if a retype is needed. We have the OB docs order "Type" and "Antibody Screen" as 2 tests for prenatals (instead of "Type and Screen" which is for possible transfusions). And a type on a baby is a different order because it was built to include the weak D results if needed. Those don't have the "Retype Needed?" field at all.
