Common Registration Process for Blood Donation

My name is Pam. I work at Stanford blood center and we're here today to film the registration process at Stanford blood center. When our donors come in, we have them sign a information sheet. We ask them if they have their donor card. We scan their card if they have it. If they do not have it, we ask them for their photo Id and then we enter their name into the computer. Once we have done that, we ask them what type of blood donation they are doing today. Whether it's whole blood, whether it's platelets, whether it's double red cells, whether it's plasma and red cells together. When the donor comes in and gives me their name, and I find them in the computer. I have them read this form. It's called The Donor Educational Material. They read the entire form, pay careful attention to the medication defer list. When they've done that and they answer all of the questions on this form, they turn it around, they make sure that everything here that we've entered in the computer is correct and then they read the consent but they don't sign it now and then they return it to me when they are finished.
