The further handling of the report will go via the donor registry. The donor registry can approve and submit reports from submitting organisations as well as their own incident reports. When submitted, all reports are available to the WMDA office and the SPEAR Committee. The WMDA office team for SPEAR reporting consists of a medical advisor and a project coordinator. The medical advisor reviews all reported incidents at least once a week and checks for rapid alerts. If necessary, the medical advisor can request the reporting organization for additional information. If the report is approved by the medical advisor, it will be turned over to the SPEAR Committee. |
