Short Survey;
Does your facility use three categories for assigning preventability of
deaths:
Nonpreventable / potentially preventable / preventable??
or four categories:
Nonpreventable / possible preventable / probably preventable /

Many Thanks and have a wonderfully safe 2004!

Subject: [traumanurses] Re: Crossmatch for Trauma Patients
We draw one specimen - either drawn by the ED staff or the lab person that
arrives - The person that draws it is expected to label it and assure it is
delivered to the lab person = Why do they have this policy at your
facility.??-
