We are just beginning the process of bringing TAR on board. We have had real issues with nursing not completing the transfusion forms completely-volumes not written, vitals incomplete, sometimes no verification signatures. Are all of these fields required in TAR? Our nurses do input VS in Meditech, and are also supposed to enter I/O volumes, but the ones in Meditech don't always match the ones that are missing on the transfusion forms. Do your nurses report pre and post breath sounds? Our form has a place for them, but, along with the volume, this is one of the reports that is infrequently filled out. If anyone can share the problems they went through with TAR, I would appreciate it, so we don't have to!
Thanks, Mari
