Quality assurance of the donor questionnaire and donor interview: a three year experience with an electronic donor questionnaire.

Quality assurance of the donor questionnaire and the donor interview must ensure that all relevant questions about donor eligibility are answered and documented in a reliable format. The use of the self explanatory, electronic donor information tool [EDIT], not only provided a harmonized and standardised system of quality assurance but also saved time and can be easily modified as guidelines change. This brief report highlights the principles of this tool and some of its potential benefits, as experienced over the 3years since its introduction in Norway.
