Has anyone discovered a way in Epic to communicate to OR the need for a second draw ABO prior to surgery? We have the initial type as Outpatient but if no second ABO in Soft, we need to fax paperwork to OR. Do not want an automatic reflex order in Epic because we have many more years of data in Soft.

I will be reaching out to you next year. We will be converting to Soft and Epic.

Thanks,

Simret G

We add result comment to indicate 2nd ABO Needed/2nd ABO Not needed when sample is received while doing history review. Result comments post in HIS after the test is complete. Not the best way, but so far working for our preop patients.
