Is Our Hospital Using Blood Wisely? Data Review
What is Using Blood Wisely? Using Blood Wisely (UBW)is a national initiative of Choosing Wisely Canada, in collaboration with Canadian Blood Services. Aim: To decrease inappropriate red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in Canada Hospital Challenge: 1) Spot Audit Check to meet benchmarks 2) Benchmarks not met? Implement UBW QI initiative to help your hospital achieve these results 3) Meet benchmarks - become a Using Blood Wisely Hospital
UBW Benchmarks At least 65% of red blood cell transfusion episodes are single unit, and At least 80% of inpatient red blood cell transfusion have a pre-transfusion Hb 80g/L or less Meet benchmarks and maintain for at least 4 months become a designated Using Blood Wisely Hospital! If benchmarks not met but absolute 20% improvement in both metrics, receive recognition
Where Did We Start? Spot Audit Results: At least 80% of inpatient red blood cell transfusion have a pre- transfusion Hb 80g/L or less At least 65% of red blood cell transfusion episodes are single unit Percentage of single unit transfusion episodes Percentage Transfusions Hb 80 g/L or less % %
What is our Hospital Doing? [Note interventions, processes, etc. that are being implemented at your site to reduce inappropriate RBC transfusions]
Post Intervention [x months post-spot audit] At least 80% of inpatient red blood cell transfusion have a pre- transfusion Hb 80g/L or less At least 65% of red blood cell transfusion episodes are single unit Percentage of single unit transfusion episodes Percentage Transfusions Hb 80 g/L or less % %
Post-Intervention [Include any other graphs, run charts, table, etc. of your hospital s audit data to show progress towards the benchmarks]
