TRM.20000 - has to do with a documented QC/QM program specific for Transfusion Medicine.

We just had our CAP inspection and were cited for not having a QM program specific for the tranfusion service. The General Lab QM program was not enough.

I shudder to think of writing one from scratch. Does anyone have an outline you would be willing to share?

It would be greatly appreciated and extremely time saving.

Melissa

What is your email? I have one for my department I would be willing to share.

thank you so much, Lara

Lara,

I would be interested in that also please. My email is csmith@ovrh.org

Thank you so much

Lara,

I would be interested in seeing your procedure also. e-mail zola.hall@tenethealth.com

Thanks

Lara,

I would be interested in your QM procedure also. My email is MHughey@sfmc.net

A quality plan is usually not a small document, esp if you follow AABB guidelines and their quality essentials. Remember you will need to fine tune whatever you use to your own operation.

We have several policies that make up our QM but I am trying to put them all into one document. I would be interested in viewing yours also.

My email is faith.nilhas@lmh.org

Thanks.

We are revising ours. A copy of your QM procedure would be greatly appreciated. bmurello@st-joseph.org. Thanks in advance!

Dear Lara,

I would greatly appreciate it if you could email it to me as well. My email is ek01@aub.edu.lb

Thank you so much.

If you have access to AABB member info, they have a section on best practices that includes Quality plans from several institutions of different sizes.

Lara if you would be kind enough I would appreciate it if you would forward me a copy as well.

I would also greatly appreciate a copy. I am about to start revising ours as it is several years out of date.

krichards@echd.org

Thank you!

I am also revising our Quality policies and would lke to see your's. My email is ppilkington@chsnj.org. Thank you.

We have a separate 'Quality Plan'; but I have been wanting to eliminate it as wordy and not effective. Part of what we have is a Quality Assurance protocol wherein I detail every QC and instrument maintenance and the schedules for all of this. I was hoping that plus the General Lab's QM would be enough. Are y'all saying this is not enough?

Lara,

I would also like to see your QM plan.

Thanks!

HI Lara,

If you would be kind enough, I would appreciate if you could forward me a copy. My CAP inspection is any day now and we are obviously not in compliance.

My email is lesize@bpthosp.org

Dear Lara,It would be a big help for me if you would share your QC/QM procedures for Transfusion services because we are now on a process of complying deficiencies for AABB Standards.Thanks in advance.My email is:larevalo@hmc.org.qa

Lara,

We also have Transfusion Services QM in our Laboratory PIP. Can you include me in your mass e-mail?

Thanks!

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned AABB. This area is called "Commendable Practices" and it has different SOP's and other things that AABB assessors have posted from some of their inspections as a good way to do something. It has various ideas for all 10 QSE's. To get to it go under the members area of AABB then accreditation the commendable practices.
