METHODS: We identified locations and specific end users with high cryoprecipitate utilization and waste. We partnered with our blood supplier to use IFC in these locations. We analyzed waste and turnaround time before and after implementation.
RESULTS: Operative locations had a waste rate that exceeded nonoperative locations (16.7% vs 3%) and were targeted for IFC implementation. IFC was added to our inventory to replace all cryo orders from adult operating rooms, and waste decreased to 2.2% in these locations. Overall waste of cryoprecipitated products across all locations was reduced from 8.8% to 2.4%. The turnaround time for cryoprecipitated products was reduced by 58% from 30.4 minutes to 14.6 minutes.
CONCLUSIONS: There has been a substantial decrease in waste with improved turnaround time after IFC implementation. This has improved blood bank logistics, improved efficiency of patient care, and reduced costly waste.
方法:我们确定了具有高冷沉淀利用率和废物的位置和特定最终用户。我们与我们的血液供应商合作,在这些地点使用IFC。我们分析了实施前后的浪费和周转时间。
结果:手术地点的浪费率超过了非手术地点(16.7%对3%),并且是IFC实施的目标。IFC被添加到我们的库存中,以取代成人手术室的所有冷冻订单,这些地方的废物减少到2.2%。所有地点的冷沉淀产物的总废物从8.8%减少到2.4%。冷沉淀产物的周转时间从30.4分钟减少58%至14.6分钟。
结论:IFC实施后,随着周转时间的延长,废物大幅减少。这改善了血库的后勤,提高患者护理效率,减少昂贵的浪费。
