Jlauf Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Currently the blood bank performs clerical checks for transfusion reactions at our facility. How does everyone handle the clerical check at your facilities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deny Morlino Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nursing handles the clerical check for anything they touch; blood bank handles the clerical check for anything we touch. Causes some overlap which is a good thing in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pepper Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Similar to Denny - nursing draws the blood at our place so they draw the patient for the reaction workup, check recipient ID against the XM forms, document this and send it all down to us. We check the donor ID against the forms when we get the blood and paperwork returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auntie-D Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Nursing staff do clerical check at their end (and sign the transfusion reaction form to say it has been done) and we do for anything we 'touch'. In both cases it is done by someone who wasn't involved in any of the process to reduce the risk of a 'cover up'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
