I'm currently working to revise our QC sheet. Is "see computer" entries allowed and can be pre-entered? I'm worried that its not ok to have this practice. Is there any other way to document our daily qc serologic results logged in the computer? Is there anyone with this kind of practice? Thank you.

I went from SL to writing daily also. I thought it would solve the problem but I have found too many instances of copying from previous days. Not sure this can be fixed. Ideas?

As painful as it is - a one day use daily worksheet. No one likes it, most of all me but if you are using paper the easiest way to avoid copying is making it easier to write the lot number and expiration date off the bottle, rather than having to get up and find yesterday's form. I switched to computerized reporting ASAP and had the information recorded there.

I hate to say people are lazy but they often look for the easy way - maybe it was just that I added a reminder. I solved a problem of staff opening a new lot without finishing the in-use lot by putting a rubber band around the new lot. Magic, solved that one.

Our QC sheet is homemade and it has a line on the back for the week's lot numbers. If we open something new there is a place to enter an additional lot. We have a daily check box yes/no new lots opened. Then there had better be an entry for the new lot number. We do it on paper because the BBIS software was more trouble than it was worth to us. Some BBIS won't let you do testing until the QC is done for the day and that just wouldn't do if you were in the middle of a trauma.
