BLOOD BANK COMPETENCIES

So when you guys say for each method-- your techs are actually doing the physical work up? I'm asking because before I took over as BB Super, we were just getting panels already filled out with reactions, and we ID'd the AB. I'd like for all of us BB techs to be proficient as possible, but I don't think the previous method worked out real well. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

We require direct observation of each step (specimen acceptability, historical check, pipetting, washing, reporting, etc...) in each method at completion of initial training, 6 months after initial competency, and annually thereafter.

Each tech physically performs a gel ABID and a tube method ABID.

I think your process is OK.   If they are already being assessed on indirect coombs in gel, tube or whatever, giving them a panel sheet with reactions to identify the antibody is acceptable IMO.
