Has anyone set up a system where the physician documentation authorizing use of uncrossmatched blood is done via the electronic medical record instead of on paper? If yes: is done as part of the blood order, or as a specific physician patient care note or do you have another process? We currently send a form with the uncrossmatched units and the physician needs to sign and return at some point in time (does not need to be done prior to transfusion). When ordering uncrossmatched blood, sometimes an order is placed in the hospital system for units with special order, uncrossmatched. Sometimes it's placed in the hospital system with no special order but blood bank receives a "verbal" to send the blood uncrossmatced. Sometimes it is picked up as part of a trauma activation prior to the patient even being physically in the hospital or identified/registered. We currently use Epic as our hospital information system but have Sunquest as our lab/blood bank information system so feedback pertaining to these systems would be especially helpful but information from any system would be welcome. Thanks in advance for any input you can give.

Is anyone out there currently using Cerner Millennium for electronic crossmatch? I would mostly like to know how and when the unit is assigned via electronic crossmatch. Does the computer automatically assign the unit, or is the unit to be electronically crossmatched scanned in to be assigned? Is the unit assigned in Result Entry for Blood Bank, or is it assigned when dispensing the unit? Any help to these questions would greatly appreciated?
