Apparently,
there is a new function in Blood bank for bar coding blood in Meditech magic
version 5.5/5.6. We are beginning
to prepare to move from 5.4 to 5.6 and are seeking more information on this
enhancement as it is unclear to us from the below statement how this works. I have attached what I found on the
Meditech Web site. Thanks you ahead
of time for any information that is provided. Part of the 5.5/5.6 Meditech upgrade
includes: Positive
patient identification to integrate blood transfusion: With
this enhancement, a new functionality is added to the Blood
Bank and Nursing Modules to allow health care organizations
to use barcodes to verify blood product and patient
identification, patient and donor blood type compatibility,
and blood product expiration dates. In
addition, new Electronic Blood Product Administration Routines
are added to the Nursing Module to allow health care organizations to
electronically document, monitor, and display
the blood product status and the patient condition before,
during, and after a blood transfusion in accordance with JCAHO, FDA,
American Red Cross, and AABB regulations. The
blood product and patient transfusion information are recorded
in the Nursing and Laboratory Modules, and you can view this information
in the Laboratory, Patient Care Inquiry,
and Thank
you, Wally
