Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Quality Improvement
  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Clinical Pathology

Background:

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends standardized blood transfusion request forms for effective patient information transfer.
  • A quality improvement project (QIP) was initiated to address the lack of standardized forms and assess their impact.
  • The QIP aimed to implement a new transfusion request form and measure compliance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement a standardized transfusion request form at Al Managil Teaching Hospital.
  • To assess the completeness and adherence of transfusion request forms.
  • To improve the quality of information provided for blood component requests.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study was conducted over three cycles (May-August 2024).
  • Interventions included developing a new form, physician training, and reinforcement.
  • Data from 100 randomly selected transfusion request forms were analyzed for completeness.

Main Results:

  • Initial cycle showed no data due to lack of standardized forms.
  • Post-intervention, patient information completion reached 100%.
  • Critical clinical parameters (Hb, PLT) completion increased from 8% to 96% over cycles, with mean completion rising from 68.1% to 97.9%.

Conclusions:

  • Systematic implementation and iterative evaluation of transfusion request forms significantly enhanced documentation completeness.
  • The study demonstrated the effectiveness of standardized forms and training in improving transfusion request quality.
  • Areas for further improvement include health insurance documentation and specific clinical details.
