The provincial, standardized Technical Operations Manual (hereafter referred to as TOM) consists of processes, procedures, and training/competency materials, as well as various templates. The TOM on this website is organized around processes and contains some (not all) of the documents that were developed.
The TOM includes 21 transfusion medicine processes, multiple procedures for each process, with policies embedded within procedures. Procedures are written as work instructions that begin immediately. As well, each process has a training and competency package, some with Direct Observation Checklists for single procedures.
The purpose of creating the TOM was to develop a CAN/CSA Z902-04 compliant transfusion medicine operations manual to provide optimal practice procedures that could be used in different service levels of facilities across a region.
The TOM and its model documents were developed by BC blood transfusion technical specialists, representatives from all BC Health Authorities, and the Compliance Working Group, using CLSI guidelines and facilitated by Lucia Berte (consultant) and the BC Provincial Blood Coordinating Office (PBCO).
The main project was completed and TOM documents (versions "0" and "draft") are available for individual regions and facilities to adapt to their own needs and update as required.
TOM documents are linked to a profound culture change that must occur for sustainability of this work. We highly recommend that you read the referenced CLSI guidelines to provide background and assistance as you develop these documents.
Current versions of CLSI guidelines can be purchased from CLSI
(see
links to specific documents on p. 3,
Disclaimer and Background).
These documents must be reviewed, customized, and
validated
prior to use in the user’s organization.
