In July 2007, Haemonetics acquired a hospital services company focused on peer to peer blood management consulting. Equipped with a unique database of best practices in transfusion medicine, Haemonetics provides hospitals a baseline view of their blood management metrics and then monitors and measures improvements resulting from recommended best practice approaches to transfusion therapy and the avoidance of unnecessary transfusions.

Haemonetics works with hospital teams to create a blood management program that improves patient outcomes by applying evidenced-based methods, and decreases costs by optimizing resources and avoiding complications associated with certain therapies.

It starts with an evidence-based assessment. Our baseline analysis begins by examining the history of your patient outcomes and costs related to the use of blood products. Patient and practice data-procedure, transfusion triggers, interventions, blood counts, length of stay, outcomes, and medications - are compared to evidence-based literature and our own COMPARE™ best-practice registry to understand specific areas of need.

Haemonetics delivers a comprehensive approach to blood management, designed to deliver clinical benefits and economic advantages. Our approach streamlines the complexities of blood management and allows our customers to be leaders in the industry. By reducing allogeneic blood use, changing anemia protocols, eliminating PAD, and gaining a more thorough understanding of your patients' risk for bleeding, you can realize significant improvements in patient outcomes and healthcare expenditures.
