Computer crossmatch with cerner classic

We switched from classic to Millineum, but when we used classic, I was told Classic wasnt capable of doing a computer crossmatch. Of course they may have just told me that because the anxiety some feel about switching to computer crossmatches...

In my former position we used Cerner classic and did electronic crossmatches, so it is possible. They were doing them a year or two before I went there (in '96) and are still using the system. The system will not make all the checks for duplicate ABO/Rh types, positive antibody screen, etc., but it is not a requirement that the system make these checks. It does prohibit the crossmatch of ABO incompatible units which is the requirement for the system; and, of course, the information is there for the technologist to determine that the patient is eligible for the electronic XM.
