We currently allow a patient to have their type and screen (or crossmatch) drawn within 30 days of their scheduled surgery if they haven't been pregnant or transfused within the past 3 months (and verify this information upon admission). I was thinking of changing that to only allowing them to come in within 3 days of surgery but it's not very "patient-centric". Thoughts on the goods and bads of extending these pre-op samples.... Thanks.
