Trace a blood unit from its donation through receipt and processing.
The Licensed Clinician selects the donation and records the component type and accession number. Start at Ordered when the record represents planned collection. Check the identifier against the team's collection procedure before work proceeds.
The Licensed Clinician enters the actual collection time and marks the unit Collected. Confirm that the record points to the donation that produced it. Keep the accession number visible during the receiving handoff so the next colleague can identify the same unit.
The Licensed Clinician checks the arriving unit against the accession number and records Received after the physical handoff. Review the Collected Blood Units screen for units whose current state needs attention before further processing.
The Licensed Clinician records Tested when the applicable testing work has occurred, or Rejected when processing rejects the unit. The Clinical Reviewer reads the donation-linked observations as part of the team's review. Apply the organization's clinical release procedure separately from this handling record.
