Hospitals must conduct blood utilization reviews covering ordering, distribution, handling, dispensing, and administration of blood components. Each institution must develop and regularly revise its own audit criteria for appropriate blood use.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Transfusion Medicine

Background:

  • Accrediting agencies mandate blood utilization review in hospitals.
  • Comprehensive review includes ordering, distribution, handling, dispensing, and administration of blood components.
  • Monitoring patient transfusion outcomes is also a requirement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide guidance on establishing institutional blood utilization review processes.
  • To offer examples of reviewable areas and potential procedures.
  • To emphasize institutional autonomy in developing specific audit criteria.

Main Methods:

  • The article suggests areas for review and potential procedures for blood utilization.
  • It highlights that institutions must develop their own criteria, not rely on suggested laboratory values.

  • Emphasis is placed on medical staff review and regular revision of procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • Hospitals have flexibility in designing their blood utilization review formats and criteria.
    • The article provides a framework and examples for institutions to adapt.
    • Institutional responsibility for developing and approving specific procedures is underscored.

    Conclusions:

    • Each hospital's transfusion committee must create and implement tailored blood utilization procedures and audit criteria.
    • Medical staff approval is essential before implementation.
    • Regular review and revision of these procedures are necessary for ongoing compliance and improvement.
