Hi Friends,

Quarterly, I go up and watch a nurse start a unit of blood and document that each criteria is met, a self-assessment if you will. I know that this satisfies a standard with AABB or CAP, but I cant seem to figure out which one. I've gone back through my checklist, but maybe I'm over-looking it. Can anyone help a sister out?

 

Thanks in advance!

We do 5 transfusion observations per month as part of our Blood Bank Quality Improvement.

There are several CAP items this could fit under -- between TRM.41000 to TRM.41300.
