We are currently working on a system for our nurses as well, so they don't miss the Rh neg patients. What kind of system did you put in place at your facility on the nursing side?

What are practices/policies at other large institutions to ensure that all obstetric patients that are RhIG candidates receive their RhIG? Do you require a type and screen on all obstetric patients, or are prenatal records acceptable? How do you ensure that all Rh negative obstetric women at your institution have a rhogam evaluation - nursing or blood bank oversight? Also, how soon after delivery are your rhogam evaluation samples drawn, and what are your practices surrounding this?
