Likewine99 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 What is your site currently doing for the blood product transfusion tag? We are getting ready to change ours and are looking for suggestions to meet all accrediting agencies requirements. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate murphy Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 AABB Standards doesn't require much - 5.22.1 lists only patient's 2 identifiers, unit # and compatibility result. With more hospitals on elec medical records, you really only need that and a downtime way for double signatures. I've attached our unit tag - single ply pre-printed form in a dedicated printer for patient/unit info. We print 2 at allocation and keep one when we issue.
