title: Blood component transfusion audit: a comprehensive microcomputer program.
abstract: Blood usage review is an essential aspect of hospital quality assurance. As part of a system for reviewing transfusion practices, the American Red Cross/New Jersey Blood Services has developed a series of microcomputer programs called the Blood Component Transfusion Audit. The programs use transfusion data collected on a standardized form to produce reports of utilization and analyses of transfusion practices, including the extent to which transfusions are justified by established criteria.
