Eliminate Blood Wastage
Use this checklist to ensure your operation isn't losing blood due to storage and handling
There are many ways to lose blood.
For patients, it happens in all the obvious and tragic ways— someone in the U.S. requires blood every two seconds, and Americans receive 42,000 units of red blood cells, platelets, and plasma every day.
But a devastating amount of that potential product is never collected and never makes it to the person who needs it in time.

Use this checklist to ensure your general operations are considering all items that may impact a loss of blood product due to storage and handling.
