Abstract
Background and objectives: Implementing and complying with a maximum surgical blood ordering schedule (MSBOS) is challenging but essential to avoid waste and reduce costs. MSBOS helps manage blood product scarcity and healthcare expenditure by avoiding unnecessary pre-transfusion testing and preparation, reducing product waste and improving clinical and operational efficiencies while maintaining patient safety.
Materials and methods: A multi-hospital health system in Ohio and Florida performing more than 200,000 surgeries annually implemented MSBOS through a risk-stratified protocol and electronic medical record automation.
Results: The first-year analysis included 107,149 cases in 23 surgical specialties and 18 hospitals. Compliance with MSBOS improved over time, reducing type and screen tests by 4166 and saving $223,839 in costs. No patient safety issues were identified.
Conclusion: This project demonstrates that adopting MSBOS in a large health system adds value by reducing unnecessary testing and costs while maintaining patient safety.
