Unit History in Meditech 6.x

Recommended Posts

We are in the process of building our Meditech 6.16 system and I have a couple of questions for those of you who have already been through this.  I heard the following from a site that recently went live:  "...you cannot look up a unit of blood by number and see which patient got that unit.  It makes look backs for the Red Cross very, very difficult."  Is this true?

Thanks in advance

No that is not true, at least in my Hospital.  Each unit is entered (can be scanned) into inventory upon receipt and everything that happens to that unit such as a retype, crossmatched to whom, issued to whom, returned to stock, re-issue, transfusion, etc. file to the unit record. There is an option for BBk unit inquiry, key in the DIN and all the info is there.  Look backs couldn't be easier.

Our last Meditech revision was to 5.6.7 and there was no change to unit lookups.  Meditech 6.whatever is a long way ahead of that, but I don't understand why they would change such a long-standing, NECESSARY part of the Blood Bank system.  Please keep us informed on this subject if you discover this is a real change and not just a new version Glitch they have to fix before Go-live.
