Blood Bank Utilization Module
Performance Insight’s Blood Bank Utilization Module transforms the way transfusion managers are optimizing patient blood management. Blood bank managers can now quickly identify physician transfusion patterns and track C/T Ratio and Transfusion Probability, resulting in improved compliance and a reduction in inappropriate transfusions. Blood banks can also monitor discarded and outdated units, determine the cost of wastage, and establish user-defined blood bank protocols for process improvements in blood bank management. This comprehensive analysis of data helps to reduce the risk and financial costs associated with transfusion.
