[MT-L] C/S 5.55 BBK crossmatch calculation

[Pervine, Teresa]

Morning!
Our BBK coordinator approached me with a problem. Evidently the ECHO crossmatches (IgG) have to have an immediate spin crossmatch (IgM) performed to complete the compatibility testing. This gives me three variables to work with in the calculation, the Echo Patient result, the Echo Positive control result, and the immediate spin result. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

What I am trying to accomplish with this calculation is:
Compatible= N if XM or XMIS result is 1+,2+,3+ or 4+ or if XMPC result is 0
Compatible= Y if XM and XMIS result is 0 and XMPC result is 1+,2+,3+ or 4+.

My calculation is respecting the XM, and XMIS results in the calculation, but
ignoring the XMPC (my positive control) results. If I result the XMPC with a "0",
it will still calculate as compatible "Y"

TARGET TEST = ^ECHO XM PT
LABEL = XM Y Y N N N TRIGGER TEST = ^ECHO XM PT
LABEL = XMIS Y Y N N N TRIGGER TEST = ^XMPAPT
LABEL = XMPC Y Y N N N TRIGGER TEST = XM POS CONTROL

IF{XM#0="1" "N";
XM#0="2" "N";
XM#0="3" "N";
XM#0="4" "N";
XMPC#0="0" "N";
XMIS#0="1" "N";
XMIS#0="2" "N";
XMIS#0="3" "N";
XMIS#0="4" "N";
"Y"}^X,[f bres nb xmatch comp](X),[f bres nop];

Hi,

We are going LIVE with 6.0 this year. We were thinking about using ORM
in Cath Lab and Specials so that we could take advantage of integration
with Materiel Management to decrement supplies and patient billing.

Now I see that ITS can also handle MM and BAR interfacing, so my
question is.

What do you use for Cath Lab and/or Specials (RAD)? ORM or ITS or
something else?

Thank you,
