The BC PSLS Blood Transfusion or Blood Product Patient Safety Event Report Form has been updated to enable BC Health Authorities participating in the Provincial RBC Redistribution Program, to integrate the new Health Canada reporting requirements into their existing patient safety reporting processes.  The new process will enable the PBCO to use BC PSLS to invite the shipping site to lead event follow up activities and document findings. Reporting to Health Canada will also be supported using BC PSLS functionality.
