bmarotto Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I know there are hospitals that irradiate all red cells and platelets. How did you set your charges? Assuming there may be emergencies when it is not possible to irradiate units fast enough there will have to be charge codes for both irradiated and non irradiated products. Did you set the fee the same for both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieSt Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 And us - I've only used irradiated platelets for years. Less wastage as you can use them for most patients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolyn swickard Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Our Irradiation charge is a separate charge in the computer that attaches to the units as we "modify" them from "not irradiated" to "irradiated" status. That way we can remove the charge if we have to use irradiated units on someone who doesn't really need them - something we have to do sometimes just to keep them from being lost.
