Working smarter to minimise blood and blood product wastage
The National Blood Product Management Improvement Strategy has 2 goals:
- to reduce blood and blood-related product wastage
- to ensure blood and blood-related products are available to meet clinical needs.
To achieve these goals, the strategy focuses on 3 streams of work:
- making blood-related product manufacturing and distribution more efficient
- improving inventory management in Australian Health Providers (AHPs)
- helping health providers to use blood and blood-related products appropriately and reduce wastage.
