Transfusion Services - Requisitions, Registrations, and Quality Assurance

Series #: HOS-PATH-026

Series Description:

These transfusion records consist of forms initiated in the hospital computer system or handwritten by hospital personnel; either for registration or for requesting testing on specimens collected from patients. Requisitions may indicate patient name and medical record number, type of specimen submitted for examination, and type of test to be performed. Completed results of these tests are entered into the patient's medical chart through the computer system. If requisitions are scanned into the medical record, paper forms need not be retained.  In addition, these records include management review of the effectiveness of the quality system, proficiency and competency records, and discontinued policies and procedures.
