“waste that comes from subjecting patients to care that, according to sound science and the patients' own preferences, cannot possibly help them—care rooted in outmoded habits, supply-driven behaviors, and ignoring science.” Berwick, Hackbarth. JAMA 2012;307:1513

Recommended Transfusion Guidelines • RBC 8.0 gm/dl • Plasma- INR > 1.6 and clinical bleeding • Platelets- Platelet count < 50,000/uL and clinical bleeding.

Enhanced RBC Physician Order Entry Field • Click on the Related Results, to display a list of the most recent Hgb, • Red Blood Cell Transfusion Criteria is a required field • An alert will appear if the most recent Hgb does not correspond with the criteria selected. • No alert will appear if the Hgb is less than or equal to 8.0 gm/dl. • No alerts will appear when Acute bleeding with BP instability
Alert Based on Order Logic Reduction in Signal to Noise Ratio
Effectiveness of RBC alert – 6 months • 688 / 5918 (12%) orders canceled • Savings of ~ $154,800 USD
Transfusion Indication Variance System comparison of total blood orders, total alerts, and % orders heeded. Trending for % orders alerted and % orders heeded Service lines with highest unheeded alerts Service line drill down to physician level unheeded alerts
Sources of Waste • Preoperative autologous donation (PAD) • Inappropriate transfusions • Excessive phlebotomy • Elevated Crossmatch to Transfusion Ratio (C:T) • Wasted Blood products
UPMC Preby Hospital Laboratory • 15,000 tubes of blood handled daily • Discard approximately 2 mL per tube • 30 Liters of blood discarded daily
Phlebotomy Blood Loss • 30% of the blood transfused was phlebotomized • Average Phlebotomy was 65 mL/day Corwin HL et al. Chest 1995;108:767
Phlebotomy Blood Loss • Small volume tubes • Elimination of arterial line blood discard • Elimination of standing orders

Electronic Crossmatch Traditional Compatibility Testing Involves: a) A review of the patient’s transfusion history b) ABO & Rh D typing of the patient c) Antibody Screening d) The Serological Crossmatch Role of the Serological Crossmatch (sXM) a) Ensuring ABO compatibility between recipient and Donor b) Detection of irregular red cell

Advantages of the eXM • For eligible patients – immediate availability of • blood i.e. improved turnaround times • 2. Reduced administration • 3. Reduced wastage due to restricted movement of • blood • 4. Improved blood management – particularly during • shortages • 5. Improved shelf life of blood transfused • 6. Blood issued without delay benefitting all concerned • 7. Properly validated is considered safer than • serological crossmatching
