Description
Patient Blood Management (PBM) is a physician-led program with the goal of improving patient outcomes using multimodal tools targeted at minimizing blood transfusions. PBM achieves better patient outcomes than Blood Utilization Review and Bloodless Surgery Programs because it is based on three foundational tool sets: Implementation of Evidence Based Transfusion Practices, Better Anemia and Hemostasis Management, and Improved Blood Conservation. The focus of this activity is familiarizing the learner with the PBM toolsets and discussing strategies for implementation.
Objectives
After completing this SAM eligible activity and post-test, you should be able to:
- Develop a plan to implement patient blood management (PBM) strategies.
- Discuss the risks and benefits of various PBM tools and identify barriers to implementation.
- Identify and assemble needed stakeholders to educate physicians on the value of PBM.
