Each objective below describes a transfusion-service laboratory competency, from sample receipt through compatibility testing to documented blood issue.

  • Identify the minimum documentation elements required at request, testing, and issue for a defensible compatibility record
  • Distinguish paper issue-tag documentation from electronic (computer) release documentation and what each must still capture
  • Recognize documentation gaps that must halt issue until corrected, versus notes that can be completed after issue
