Greetings! For the competency assessment element 'monitoring the recording and reporting of test results', what do you do for testing that is performed infrequently and may not be performed by all staff but that should be available 24x7? For example Kleihauer-Betke stains. Thanks, Amelia

We have a statement on our Emergency blood release form that states, 'The risk of delaying the transfusion outweighs the risk of transfusing the blood without complete testing. I accept responsibility for the administration of this blood.' We had a Joint Commission inspector tell us that the second statement is not true; that 'the FDA says that the transfusion service medical director is responsible for the administration of blood products.' I cannot find that documented anywhere and I have looked in the CFR, AABB Standards and the Technical Manual. Can anyone substantiate that the transfusion service medical director is the 'responsible party' for (all) blood administration and point me to where it is stated? Thanks!

I currently work in a blood bank where all the techs complain about double documentation, excessive amount of writing, and loss of time due to documenting every move that is made. So, my question is, how much documentation of patient results is actually required to meet the joint commission standards? At this time, we document everything we do on paper including antigen typing (along with qc) then enter all these same results into the computer system (Cerner). Is this necessary or can we just go straight to the computer with our results?
