i am very confused as to what is actually covered under donor hemovigilance? Is it documenting the adverse effects post donation??? are there other aspects covered under it????? help...

I am not aware of a donor hemovigilance, can you enlighten what you are referring to?

Donor hemovigilence tracks donor reactions and errors in the donation process. Patient hemovigilance tracks patient reactions and errors in the administration process. In the U.S. they will be tracked on two completely different computer programs. I don't know how other nations are tracking them.

I'm in the US....what computer programs or inspecting / accrediting agencies are this tracked for?

The patient information is tracked in the CDC's NHSN system. This is the same system they use to track infectious diseases and many hospitals are already registered with them. The donor information will be tracked in a system operated by AABB. I know the patient system came live in February. I am not sure if the donor system is up yet, but it will be soon if it is not.
