I'm reviewing the proposed revisions to the TJC Standards for Blood Transfusion Service and Donor Center. There is no current standard addressing Rh Immune Globulin Administration. The new proposed standard is QSA.05.13.01 "The laboratory has written policies and procedures that address Rh Immune globulin (RhIG) administration."
"Elements of Performance for QSA.05.13.01:
1. The laboratory's written policies and procedures for the administration of Rh Immune globulin address: -Crieria to identify patients eligible for prophylaxis; -Procedure to determine dose of RhIG required; -Optimal timing of administration following exposure.
2. The laboratory follows its policies and procedures for RhIG administration."
This is a proposed standard, still in the comments phase.
There is no mention of pharmacy control.
