Sunquest Re-Types for Patients and Units

[Brenda K Hutson]

So when Sunquest was first built here, %ARC was built for unit re-types.  A different code was built for patient re-types (called RABR).  Problem is, RABR does not look at history for confirmation of accuracy or            matching.  If we wanted to go back now and use %ARC for patient re-types, can it still also be used for unit re-types?  If not, what code are you using for unit re-types which will still look at the type entered at Receipt to confirm accuracy?

Thanks in advance.....

Yes, we use %ARC for both patients and units. Never understood why Sunquest used the same code.

If we check the same sample as the type and screen we use %ARC.

If we get a new specimen it is a battery BBRPT with the test %ABR.

Anyone had pooled cryo built in sunquest? Will you share the codes for Pooled cryo and thawed pooled cryo?

Do you use THC to thaw?

When we switched to only receiving pooled cryo from our blood supplier we created a new thaw code in SunQuest "PCRY5T" because some of our sister facilities were still using single cryos.

Our pooled cryo "E3587" is put in as PCRY5 and is thawed using PCRY5T to "E3591" Thawed Pooled Cryoprecipitate/None/XX/rt.

Thank you so much for responding....I was hoping someone could answer this for us.
