Our lab currently requires that a Phlebotomist sign a form stating that they have verified the same data that is necessary when drawing blood for a crossmatch when they are drawing a Post Partum Rhig. This causes us a large problem since ER often orders an ABO&RH on women having vaginal bleeds and if they are RH NEG and abort they want to convert the order to a RhiG order. With our current policy we can't us the specimen since our ABO&RH orders don't require a signature. I would like to do away with the requirement to sign any form for Rhig. (all wristbands and patient ID are scanned and verified thru our LIS) and save the patient an additional stick. Is there any regulation requiring this signature?

You just need to be able to identify the individual who obtained the specimen. Classically it has been by signing the tube, however, the CAP checklist allows "other" means of identification.
