Jlauf Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Does anyone currently supply blood/blood products for outpatients that are located offsite of their hospital? If so what is your procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 My first question, do you need a seperate limited transfusion permit in Ohio? In New York State you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Townsend Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'm in Ohio - I just confirmed this with my TS Medical Director (also the Medical Director over all of our offsites).....I'm not sure what you are looking for exactly in terms of policies (testing, issuing, storage and transportation to the offsites, administration, etc.), but two things come to mind. 1 - Are the administering personnel (nurses) employed by your hospital? If so, then the nursing blood administrations would apply the same as inpatients. 2 - The pre-transfusion testing can be performed by your hospital Transfusion Service using existing procedures if you are operating under the same CLIA license as your outpatient labs.Sorry if I'm off-track:pStephanie Townsend, MT(ASCP)SBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
