Abstract

Providence Holy Cross Medical Center (PHCMC) has embarked on this journey to improve outcomes by reducing the number of unnecessary transfusions through the development of a PBM program. Transfusion-related health risks and increasing economic pressures have driven hospitals to recognize development of blood management programs as an important strategy to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs.
