AMcCord 1,274 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'm looking at the All Common CAP checklist for Serology (Transfusion Medicine). Anyone have a good plan for COM.40700? Link to post Share on other sites
David Saikin 1,408 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I would mark it NA as I don't feel BB performs any "analytical" type of testing. That question is more in line w Chemistry or Hematology which generate numbers, not interpretive data. AMcCord and DebbieL 2 Link to post Share on other sites
AMcCord 1,274 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 That was my first thought. I dislike what they've done with the Transfusion Medicine checklist. The All Common items that used to be 'customized' for Blood Bank were in the Blood Bank checklist where they belong. Now it's a guessing game from an All Common list that is really focused on Chemistry - does this apply to BB? how does it apply to BB? what is this even aiming to achieve??? What used to be covered in one is now spread into 3 or 4 places. Thanks CAP! David Saikin, DebbieL and Texas Lynn 3 Link to post Share on other sites
MAGNUM 91 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I marked it down as N/A since it has to do with AMR's and such. At least that is my thinking. During our CAP inspection in September, my inspector didn't give it a second thought. AMcCord and David Saikin 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DebbieL 150 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I don't think BB testing is analytical so I also mark this as NA. When it comes to BB testing, the patient is either positive or negative. AMcCord and David Saikin 2 Link to post Share on other sites
