Blood Management

Blood management is a system-based comprehensive approach that uses evidence-based medicine to facilitate an environment to encourage an appropriate use of blood products in the hospital setting. The ultimate goal of a blood-management program is to improve patient outcomes by integrating all available techniques to ensure safety, availability, and appropriate allocation of blood products. It is a patient-centered, multidisciplinary, multimodal, planned approach to the management of patients and blood products.
