In the US, most facilities do not participate in organized hemovigilance systems due to the large resource commitment required to conduct robust transfusion surveillance with manual data capture. This session will present two distinct systems designed to leverage the power of electronic medical records for managing hemovigilance at the hospital level. In one system, real-time monitoring of all transfusion events in a large medical oncology center is deployed as a transfusion safety backstop. In the other system data collected by both automated and “manual prospecting” approaches from the patient’s electronic health record are used for clinical alerting, bedside hemotherapy monitoring, suspected transfusion reaction investigation/reporting, and analyses for quality improvement initiatives to enhance patient safety during hemotherapy interventions. Both facilities will share their experiences and transfusion safety gains related to adopting these methods.

Learning Objectives:
Recognize and discuss how various electronic assets can be used by hospitals in hemovigilance activities.
Evaluate how the use of such assets can enhance patient care.
Identify how both real-time and retrospective hemovigilance monitoring approaches can advance patient safety.
All relevant financial relationships have been mitigated. By completing the evaluation, you are attesting to watching the presentation in its entirety. A certificate will be immediately provided after submission.
