Community Blood Centers’ Donor QuickPass™ is a web-based computer assisted self interview program that allows blood donors like you to answer required health history questions independently, in a private setting at a time that’s convenient for you.

You can access Donor Quickpass™ from CBCO.org on the day of your donation. Using this web-based format—accessible from any computer with internet access—you are able to answer health history questions confidentially, print out a bar-coded receipt that contains your hidden responses, and bring it with you to your donation appointment.

Your health history questions can only be completed on the same day of your blood donation. Online interviews completed prior to 12:00 AM the day of donation will be invalid and you will have to repeat the interview at the time of your donation.

Because you will have already completed your required health history questions prior to your donation, the process will potentially be shortened—reducing time away from work and personal commitments.

Yes, the only personal information printed on your donor receipt is your name. In addition, Donor Quickpass™ is designed to timeout after a period of inactivity so no one can access your confidential health history responses.

No, Donor QuickPass™ does not determine your eligibility to donate; that will be done at the time of your donation.

A Donor QuickPass™ is not the same as an appointment to donate. If you would like to schedule an appointment for a blood drive, please visit our drive locator online.

You’ll need high-speed internet access. A high quality laser printer and paper are also recommended. Some ink jet printers may not provide a high enough quality barcode for the scanners to read.

Typically not. A CBCO staff member will scan your Donor QuickPass™ donor receipt and review your responses. In rare instances, you may have to answer the questions again at the time of donation if:

  • Your donor receipt is lost, or the bar code on the receipt cannot be read by the scanner.
  • Donor QuickPass™is not completed on the same day as your blood donation.
  • If computer systems are down at the time of your donation.

You will have the opportunity to go back and correct your answers at any time during the interview process by selecting the “Review Answers” button. If you have already completed the interview and printed your Donor QuickPass™ donor receipt, you should notify a CBCO staff member of your desire to change an answer.

Using Donor QuickPass™, you can skip a question and review it with a Donor Specialist at the time of your donation.

No. You will continue to have the option to complete your health history interview one-to-one with a Donor Specialist at the time of your donation.

No. All blood donors are asked the same required health history questions—regardless of the format used to answer them.

Please print, save, or email your barcode receipt to yourself. If you lose your barcode receipt you will need to complete a new health history questionnaire, either online or at the donation site.

Community Blood Center realizes our donors sometimes face scheduling issues that can interfere with their planned donation. However, because your interview responses must be answered on the day of your donation, you will need to answer them again if you reschedule your donation for another day.

All donors complete a new health history interview before each donation as a safety measure for both the recipient and the donor.
