I don't think there is a requirement to share between hospitals, only that a search of previous records was performed for ABO/Rh and antibody screen. The lab needs to define how they will perform the search. The reasoning that labs use 2 types is a. to limit mistransfusion events and b. to use electronic crossmatch. You don't need 2 types is you aren't using electronic crossmatch and if you use other ways to reduce mistransfusion risks- you can always use immediate spin to allocate type specific blood. To use a type from another hospital, personally, I would want the testing/results to show up in my LIS automatically, and know that my lab and the other lab follow the same policies for patient ID, labeling, testing, etc.

If u are performing patient testing, then u need to have your competency assessed.  No way around that requirement.  

most of blood bank testing is high complexity so someone with an associate degree would qualify as an assessor.
