Process and outcome improvement in blood ordering and utilization is achievable through analysis of data collected. Establishment of blood measures or indicators that are evidenced-based based and accepted by attending physicians are parameters for data collection. Collection of the data can be tedious and time consuming; however manual or automated tools can facilitate the process. Tools are also available either through the information technology system or office computer software for analysis of data. The audioconference will discuss electronic tools which can facilitate data collection and analysis in performing audits.
-
