johna got a reaction from heathervaught in Record retention
Food for thought!
The CAP Transfusion Medicine checklist TRM.32250 indicates that patient records should be retained for 10 years. Are not these antigrams considered "patient records"? What else would they be? The only mention of a 5 year retention period concerns quality control and retyping of donor unit records.
