Healthcare providers globally have a universal goal: provide the best patient care at an optimal cost. But healthcare providers face challenges – including blood-related challenges – as they strive to meet this goal.

Donated blood is often a critical and life-saving part of patient treatment. Additionally, many pharmaceutical products are derived from human plasma and significantly enhance the quality of patients’ lives. But like other healthcare providers, blood collectors face challenges. There is a rising demand for blood for patient transfusion and for plasma used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Yet fewer people are willing or eligible to donate blood. The regulatory requirements for blood collection become more stringent every year. Testing requirements and costs are increasing. And while blood collectors address these challenges, they are simultaneously trying to improve operational economics.

Through internal product development and acquisition, Haemonetics has significantly expanded its product offerings to comprise a full suite of blood management solutions – devices, information management systems, and services – that help our customers improve patient care while reducing costs.

Our definition of blood management is simple:

• Prevent a blood transfusion to the patient who doesn’t need one and
• Provide the right blood product at the right time for the patient who does need a transfusion.
