MARGIN OF EXCELLENCE – BLOOD UTILIZATION REPORT.

Blood and blood products are crucial, life-saving commodities used in a wide range of medical procedures, including for cardiac and orthopedic surgeries, trauma care and chronic medical conditions. However, blood is also expensive, where one unit can total up to nearly $1,000, and every transfusion can increase risk of extended length-of-stay, morbidity and mortality.

Particularly with the magnifying glass now on healthcare costs, these are dollars that no health system can afford to waste. A new Premier benchmarking report finds hospitals are making significant strides to optimize blood use and outlines strategies and solutions providers can use to implement successful blood utilization programs.
