Does anyone have a good competency assessment for blood bank they would be willing to share?

I'm curious how IQCP went for you. I'm a new lab manager and our recent JCAHO surveyor did not like the previous leadership's IQCP for micro. She felt it didnt address the identifications on our combo panels. I'm not a micro person so struggling with where to start to get this fixed.

I currently started a small facility that uses Meditech as their LIS. They keep every analyzer printout regardless of the tests being interfaced. I know this was not what my old facility did, only keeping result printouts of non interfaced tests. However our QA coordinator is stating it is a requirement. This new facility is also JCAHO inspected, not CAP. Anyone care to share their experiences? Is this record retention that seems excessive to me really necessary?
