A blood ordering strategy for hospital blood banks derived from a computer simulation.

摘要: The ultimate goal of a hospital blood bank inventory control program is to reduce wastage products and unnecessary use laboratory services without jeopardizing patient safety. development practical ordering policy at the level an integral part any such program. In order explore various options in detail, computer simulation was used assess impact on performance measures reductions group O non-group-O levels from baseline levels, assuming both 21-day 35-day shelf life. On basis data derived this study showing that accompanied by partial protection will not result significant shortages, strategy developed for establishing optimal target empirical basis. These can serve as guide subsequent ordering. A step-by-step approach analyzing then suggested, action plan implementing change which incorporates experimentally-derived strategy. Adherence should low outdate rate, reduction cross-matching, greater availability those patients with legitimate need it.
