Hello all. Our entire hospital at RGH are setting up patient safety goals for this coming year, and each department has to come up with 2-3. One idea we came up with is to have a definitive way to identify moms with their babies in the Blood Bank. As a routine situation in the blood bank, we base what tests we do for newborns on the mom's Abo/Rh. Currently, when we receive a cord blood into the blood bank, our babies come down with, for example- stevens, m-ch victoria. We then look up the patient, Stevens,Victoria in our hospital census, and then match that patient up in SafeTrace TX, and then attach the mom to the baby in SafeTrace TX. As a benchmarking process, I would like to know if others here identify moms in different ways. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
