RhIg dosing

Hi -

We are trying to refine our process for ordering and dispensing RhIg products (RhoGam or HyperRho) for postpartum prophylaxis in the setting of fetomaternal hemorrhage.

1) Who is responsible for calculating the dose of RhIg product? OB physician, blood bank, pathology, other?

2) Do you have a resource available to assist in this dose calculation? For example, do you post the link so staff can have access to the College of American Pathologist dose calculator? http://www.cap.org/ShowProperty?nodePath=/UCMCon/Contribution%20Folders/...

3) Does your EMR have capability to calculate the dose based on the Kb value?

Any guidance, protocols, workflow examples would be appreciated. Thanks!
