Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Transfusion Medicine
Health Economics

Background:

Maximum Surgical Blood Ordering Schedules (MSBOS) are crucial for managing blood product scarcity and healthcare costs.
Implementing MSBOS presents challenges but is essential for reducing waste and expenditure.
MSBOS optimizes pre-transfusion testing and preparation, enhancing operational efficiencies and patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of implementing MSBOS in a large, multi-hospital health system.
To assess the effectiveness of MSBOS in reducing unnecessary blood testing and associated costs.
To determine if MSBOS implementation affects patient safety.

Main Methods:

A risk-stratified protocol and electronic medical record automation were used to implement MSBOS.
The study encompassed a multi-hospital health system in Ohio and Florida.
Data from over 200,000 annual surgeries were analyzed, including 107,149 cases across 23 surgical specialties and 18 hospitals in the first year.

Main Results:

Compliance with MSBOS improved significantly over the study period.
A reduction of 4166 type and screen tests was observed.
The implementation resulted in cost savings of $223,839, with no identified adverse patient safety events.

Conclusions:

Adopting MSBOS in a large health system provides significant value.
MSBOS implementation effectively reduces unnecessary testing and healthcare costs.
Patient safety is maintained while achieving financial and operational benefits through MSBOS.
