We are a small blood bank in New York that is looking to implement the electronic Transfusion Administration Record (TAR) software in an older version of Meditech. We (Nursing and Blood Bank) reviewed the system and like the software for issuing and transfusion of the blood products. But to review patient’s transfusion information in Meditech after the transfusion is horrible. The reports/forms are not formatted and appear mashed together. This is not acceptable Blood Bank practice. I contacted Meditech to give me suggestions or allow me to contact any blood bank that uses the Meditech systems so they can give me suggestions. But it has been over a month and Meditech still have not contacted me. If I do not get this issue resolved, we will have to continue documenting transfusions on paper. So, this is my last hope... Is there anyone that uses the electronic TAR feature of Meditech? If so, how are you auditing the transfusions and showing inspectors the transfusion information during inspection?

Thank you for your responses. They were very helpful. I have one question for BankerGirl, did you hire an NPR writer from an outside company or did the NPR writer work for your hospital?
