- Abstract
The author reflects on the systematic review which aims to establish an evidence-based practice recommendations on the safety of one-person in comparison to two-person checking of patient identity at point of blood administration. He states that the findings indicate that the evidence base for the current practice is virtually nonexistent and that anecdotal evidence suggests that very few hospitals in Great Britain have introduced a system of single-person checking of blood administration.
