MTP documentation

Curious how RNs are documenting their blood products for MTPs at other sites. We use Epic for our HIS and our documentation is currently downtime - the RNs fill out a paper flowsheet that gets scanned into the chart and then they manually add the total volumes on their blood flowsheet. Leads to a lot of work for the MTP committee in cleaning up documentation, particularly for MTPs that get continued in other units - initials are missing, units are unaccounted for, volumes have to be cleaned up.

Our trauma team saw the Arcos Blood Navigator at a trauma conference and we had a demo of it yesterday. Does anyone else have experience with it? Most of the RNs liked it better than the option Epic has for documenting MTPs in a narrator - they said it would require an extra computer at the bedside which they don't want.

If anyone has a nice clean process that keeps the RNs happy during an MTP I'd love to know!
