PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT PROGRAMSGETTING STARTED INTRODUCTION TO DEFINITION
PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT PROGRAMSGETTING STARTED INTRODUCTION TO
DEFINITION Patient Blood Management is the timely application of evidence based medical and surgical concepts designed to manage anemia, optimize hemostasis, and minimize blood loss in order to improve patient outcomes.

PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES AND MODALITIES
PATIENT BLOOD MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES AND MODALITIES
RATIONALE • Improves clinical outcomes • Improves hospital efficiency • Decreases cost and resource consumption • Improves patient experience and hospital reputation with healthier results
RATIONALE • Improves regulatory compliance that ties reimbursement to patient outcomes • Demonstrates application of scientific evidence and best practices • Can increase revenue by expanding patient base (e. g. , medical tourism)
RATIONALE • National Recognition e. g. , US Dept of Health and Human Resources • Regulatory focus on transfusion avoidance e. g. , Joint Commission • Growth of PBM-related clinical guidelines amongst professional organizations e. g. , STS, SCA, ESA, ASH, SHM, AABB, CAP, AHA, etc. • International endorsement of PBM programs e. g. , Western Australia, Ontario Province, Canada, World Health Organization, Republic of China/Ministry of Health/Depart of Blood Management, etc.
RATIONALE – A CLOSER LOOK • High frequency of blood transfusion has led to overuse i. e. , inappropriate practices • No or poor measures of quality supporting transfusion practice • Transfusions are associated with negative outcomes • Prevalence of pre-surgical anemia • Incidence of hospital-acquired anemia (HAA)
MODIFYING RISK • Correcting pre-operative anemia • Evaluating and addressing pre-operative bleeding risk • Prevention of Hospital-Acquired Anemia (HAA) • Controlling excessive bleeding • Adjusting the transfusion threshold

PBM ALIGNS WITH REGULATORY COMPLIANCE • • Fiscally responsible Clinically superior Patient-centered Aligns with value based reimbursement and quality models
STAKEHOLDERS • Executive Sponsor • Medical Director and Program Manager • Physicians from high blood use service lines e. g. , CTS, Ortho, OB/GYN, Oncology • Anesthesia • Hospital Medicine • Pediatrics • Nursing leaders from high blood use/risk areas • Patient safety officer • Quality Dept. • IS or IT • Pharmacy • Nursing educators • Finance • Lab/transfusion services
PBM STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTAT ION
PBM PROGRAMS: GETTING STARTED 1. Evaluate blood utilization by hospital service, DRG, and physician 2. Write a project charter or business plan w/budget 3. Engage clinical and administrative leaders 4. Use the SABM Standards and Quality Guide 5. Align a PBM metric with a hospital quality initiative and financial goal
SABM RESOURCES: GETTING STARTED
SABM STANDARDS: INTENT AND PURPOSE • • Spans all hospital activities related to PBM Optimize clinical outcomes and improve patient safety Accelerate adoption of evidenced-based practices and clinical guidelines in any institution Bring proven treatment and management strategies that improve patient outcomes to the bedside
SABM QUALITY GUIDE: INTENT & PURPOSE • • Effectively measure program quality Monitor adherence to the SABM Standards Monitor the impact of PBM modalities Evaluate PBMP for performance improvement opportunities
SABM RESOURCES: EXECUTIVE GUIDE
BENCHMARKING: • Transfusion rates by service line/procedures • Transfusion practice by physician • Number of blood components units transfused • Number or % of elective surgery patients admitted w/HGB<13 and # of units transfused and LOS
MOVING FORWARD • Transfusion-related outcomes • Infections & complications • Length of stay (ICU, vent times) • Anemia management • Use of pre-op anemia protocols • Discharge Hgb • Iatrogenic anemia (e. g. , diagnostic, cath lab) • Surgical bleeding
ALIGNING PBM METRICS TO HOSPITAL GOALS Identify a metric that will: • Improve an operational process to achieve greater efficiency • Improve a clinical process that impacts patient outcomes • Increase operating income • Achieve cost-savings
SUMMARY • Improves patient outcomes § Less complications § Decreased morbidity and mortality • • • Improves efficiency and quality Reduces waste (overuse and cost) Improves patient experience Demonstrates evidence based (best) practice Improves hospital/physician reimbursement
