Antibody identification reports: a microcomputer program

Antibody identification involves preparation of a comprehensive report for the benefit of the referring physician. These reports require technical, supervisory, and clerical time to produce a quality report. To standardize laboratory reporting of immunohematologic test results in an increasingly cost-conscious environment, we developed computer-generated laboratory report forms. These forms permit the reference laboratory technician to produce final reports with only a few keystrokes. Use of the program also reduces typographic errors and staff time, standardizes reports, and permits data storage and analysis of all antibody reports. Irnmunohematology 1995;11:54–59.
