We have a BBIS and only use the paper system when our computers are down. We don't typically have a problem with units not being issued in the computer. It happens only rarely and usually when multiple units of red cells and plasma are being issued to the OR and the tech accidentially misses scanning one unit. We catch it the following day when the inventory doesn't match and post issue it in our computer. I know that if we miss a special need that is FDA reportable. We have Horizon Blood Bank and are looking to upgrade to 3.5, and one of the improvements is that there will be a window that pops up after hitting OK that tells you the units was successfully issued. Someone else in the webinar was really excited about this because she said not issuing in the computer is an FDA reportable error. I just wanted to know if someone had any knowledge of this because if there weren't any problems or special needs not met, we have not been reporting these.
