Australian Haemovigilance minimum data set

The Australian Haemovigilance Minimum Data Set (AHMDS) enables consistent data collection and analysis of transfusion related adverse events to improve the quality of national haemovigilance reporting. The AHMDS was developed based on the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) Metadata Online Registry (METeOR) format and the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) standard haemovigilance definitions where possible. Any definitions not covered by these were determined by the Haemovigilance Advisory Committee. 

The first edition of the AHMDS (known as the 2010 National Haemovigilance Data Dictionary) is superseded by the 2015 AHMDS.
