Learning at Your FingertipsThis year is an exciting time for AABB education—

it brings a “doubling down” of commitment to expert educational resources for

our community. In addition to expanding an ever-richer portfolio of content,

this is also a year of investment in new technology platforms that will deliver

professional development tools to support all learning styles and schedules.

The expanded content in transfusion medicine, patient blood management and

cellular therapies provides the information needed by facilities to improve the

quality of care that they are delivering to patients and donors. In the cellular

therapy arena, standards for the laboratory setting have been expanded into

the clinical care setting. Those faced with regulatory challenges now have access

to a toolkit that provides customizable templates for regulatory submissions.

for those facilities implementing patient blood management programs, multi-

media learning modules will be available to provide the foundational knowledge

to implement your program or to take your existing program to the next level.

The already comprehensive library of print and electronic publications is being

further supplemented with forward-thinking transfusion medicine content such

as Antibody Identification: Art or Science? A Case Study Approach, as well as new

editions of invaluable references such as The Transfusion Committee: Putting Patient Safety First.

In parallel with expanding our collection of relevant content, we are revamping

our delivery platforms to make it easier to access that content. An improved online

Marketplace will bring together all modes of learning—from webinars to books

to digital toolkits—making it easier to find resources that fit your needs. A new,

robust learning portal will allow you to manage all of your career development

progress in one place.

Yet, amid all of these exciting changes, one thing holds constant—the

contribution of leaders in the field who collaborate to develop these innovative

resources. only through the deep partnership with our professional volunteer

experts are we able to bring this body of knowledge to the field.

I hope you will take full advantage of what AABB has to offer. Arming yourself

with leading-edge knowledge is good for your professional growth, good for

your facility, and good for advancing the field.

“Remember that auditing is an organization’s best friend; there is no telling what some-thing looks like through another’s eyes, and it is dangerous not to seek that truth.”

- Angela R. Grovenstein, QMS(IRCA), CQA(ASQ), MT(AMT)C(ASCP), Principal Auditor, American Red Cross, Washington, District of Columbia, in “Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby…” from Introducing the Big Q: A Practical Quality Primer

Auditing in the Cellular Therapy LaboratoryBy Suzanne H. Butch, MA, MLS(ASCP)CM, SBB, CQA(ASQ); Theresa A. Downs, MT(ASCP)SBB, CQA(ASQ); and Sandra K. Hoffman, MT(ASCP)SBB, CQA(ASQ)

The quality plan in the cellular therapy laboratory documents the structure, responsibilities, and processes and procedures to support the

objective of patient safety. Audits are used as part of the quality assurance system to verify that systems function as intended and that requirements are met. This book describes how audits document compliance, enhance a quality system and assist with error reduction. Some of the topics covered include auditing fundamentals, terminology and types; audit preparation and planning; establishing an annual audit plan; auditor characteristics; collecting and documenting evidence; data analysis; and audit follow-up. Included are more than two dozen sample forms and templates specific to cellular therapy activities.

Romancing the Big Q: Dancing with the Quality GorillaEdited by Lisa M. Walters, PhD, MBA, MT(ASCP)SBB

Quality systems have long been indispensable to the function of health-care institutions. The value in an institution’s relationship with quality is uncovered when it is allowed to evolve. Committing to a culture of continual

improvement can be something like dancing with a gorilla who never tires; it means developing the skills of adapting to changing demands and environments—cyclically.

Building on material from Introducing the Big Q: A Practical Quality Primer (AABB Press, 2004), Romancing the Big Q explains how to move an organization toward performance excellence. Each chapter is half theory, half story—first laying out the quality concepts, and then illustrating them in a practical case study.

Topics include:

n Strategic planning with matrices.n Vision and goal setting.

n Solidifying leadership. n Process management and plan deployment. n Measurement and evaluation. n risk management.

Each purchase includes a free Digital Download of Introducing the Big Q: A Practical Quality Primer for your reference.

Quality Toolkit and Case Studies: Solutions for Common ProblemsBy Marianne A. Silva, MS, MT(ASCP)SBB, CQA(ASQ), and Virginia Vengelen-Tyler, MBA, MT(ASCP)SBB

You’ve heard of “quality tools,” but if countless presentations and articles have left you still unsure about how to use them in your organizational setting or why you should, this book is for you.

Beginning with a brief overview of 11 easy-to-use quality tools, this collection of 13 case studies uses fictional scenarios to demonstrate how the tools can be used in real settings specific to blood banking and transfusion service environments.

Tools described in the first section require no special knowledge or equipment: brainstorming, check sheets, run charts, control charts, failure mode effects analysis, fishbone diagrams, force field analysis, pareto charts, plan-do-check-act, process mapping and the five whys. The cases that demonstrate them cover four general topic areas: administrative issues, operations, donor issues and customer service.

Case topics:

n Staffing levels, training methods and competency documentation. n responsibility for tissue services in a transfusion service. n Patient identification issues. n receipt of blood components in the laboratory. n outdated blood components. n Quality control documentation. n Donor deferrals. n Storage, transport and delivery of components.

By pairing a just-the-essentials introduction to tools with in-depth examples, this direct, readily accessible presentation sends you into your own workplace equipped with a quality improvement toolkit to use with confidence according to the situation.

"With no one immediately responsible for oversight of those transfusion steps that occur outside the laboratory, it is little wonder that serious lapses, misunderstandings, knowledge gaps, and errors may occur. The principal role of the hospital TSO is to work outside the laboratory to improve patient safety during transfusion."

- Walter H. Dzik, MD, from “Emily Cooley Lecture 2002: Transfusion Safety in the Hospital” (Transfusion 2003;43:1190-9)

Guidelines for Patient Blood Management and Blood UtilizationDeveloped for the Clinical Transfusion Medicine Committee and the Transfusion Medicine Section Coordinating Committee by Joanne Becker, MD, and Beth Shaz, MD

With patient safety and optimal outcomes as the goal, blood management and utilization

concepts reach across diverse areas to include all aspects of the transfusion decision-making process.

This Guideline assists facilities in developing strategies that provide for the appropriate use of blood and the use of alternatives that help to reduce or avoid the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. A multidisciplinary approach is advocated that includes the use of blood component guidelines, pharmaceutical preparations to minimize blood loss, blood conservation methods and blood utilization review practices.

Some highlights include:

n The transfusion review process, including thresholds and assessments. n Nonsurgical as well as preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative strategies.

n The blood utilization review process, including the development of facility-specific guidelines and quality improvement.

n Auditing of blood utilization, including criteria for a wide range of components and situations.

Decision Making in Transfusion MedicineBy Eleftherios C. Vamvakas, MD, PhD, MPH

This evidence-based book examines the policy and clinical decisions being made in the name of blood safety. This book is intended to serve one of the recurring principles enunciated by the fDA—that decision making must be transparent. The book discusses both the evidence supporting allogeneic

blood transfusion and the hotly debated policy alternatives proposed for avoiding its risks.

Topics:

n The contrast between precautionary principle and evidence-based medicine. n Causes of, and strategies to reduce, transfusion-related mortality. n Emerging transmissible infections. n Pathogen reduction. n MSM donor deferrals. n Patient blood management. n Meta-analysis and equipoise in transfusion medicine.

The book includes a bonus CD-roM containing three fundamental chapters from Evidence-Based Practice of Transfusion Medicine:

n Basic Concepts. n Statistical Associations and Cause-and-Effect relationships. n Diagnostic Accuracy and Clinical Value of Laboratory Tests used to Screen the Allogeneic Blood Supply for Infectious Disease Markers.

Pathogen Inactivation: The Penultimate Paradigm Shift Edited by James P. AuBuchon, MD, and Christopher V. Prowse, MA, DPhil, FRCPath

With the assumption of remarkably low risk, albeit at a higher cost, pathogen inactivation techniques hold promise for addressing not only known safety concerns, including bacterial contamination, but also the “next new virus” for which we are unprepared. This comprehensive

volume presents the basic concepts, reviews completed research and provides practical implementation advice from an international panel of “early adopters.”

This text will be of interest to those who are already using pathogen inactivation techniques, those who are considering them, and those seeking to be informed of important trends.


Guidelines for the Laboratory Evaluation of Transfusion ReactionsDeveloped for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Robertson Davenport, MD

While infectious transfusion complications are often the focus of patients, physicians, blood transfusion professionals and regulatory agencies, nonviral and immunologically based

complications are the most prevalent risks for a transfusion recipient. The diagnosis and evaluation of any transfusion reaction is a matter of clinical judgment by a physician trained in the adverse effects of transfusion. Negative testing results should not be interpreted as definitely excluding a transfusion reaction if there is a strong clinical suspicion that the patient’s symptoms are related to blood transfusion. The laboratory evaluation of suspected transfusion reactions is critical not only to the health and well-being of the patient but also to the process of improvement through corrective and preventive actions.

Many hospitals and transfusion services are now using pneumatic tube delivery systems as a means of delivering blood products faster and more efficiently. To ensure product safety and the maintenance of quality, system validation is key. The goal of this Guideline is to provide direction when considering pneumatic tube technology for blood component distribution. for facilities currently using this technology, this serves as a comparison between legacy methods and those addressed by the current validation. for institutions using legacy pneumatic tube systems, this document can help direct procedures needed to maintain long-term quality assurance goals.



Disaster Operations Handbook: Coordinating the Nation’s Blood Supply During Disasters and Biological EventsPrepared and updated by members of the AABB Interorganizational Task force on

Domestic Disasters and Acts of Terrorism, this handbook assists community blood centers, hospital blood banks and transfusion services in preparing for and responding to domestic disasters and national acts of terrorism that affect the blood supply.

The handbook contains two major areas of focus:

n Preparation strategies to implement before an event. n Activation procedures once an event has occurred.

Included as an addition to the handbook is the Disaster operations Handbook Hospital Supplement prepared especially for transfusion services and for hospitals that do not collect allogeneic blood. The supplement will help facilities prepare for their role in providing blood for transfusion in the event of a disaster. Instructions for working with local blood centers to assess the effects of a disaster on the local blood supply are also provided.


AABB Billing Guide for Blood Products and Transfusion Services, 5.0The AABB Billing Guide for Blood Products and Transfusion Services, edition 5.0, provides updated information regarding coding and Medicare billing and payment policies relating to blood products and transfusion services.

Guidelines for Donor Hemoglobin DeterminationDeveloped for the Scientific Section Coordinating Committee by Ritchard G. Cable, MD, and Julie L. Houseworth, MD

Anemia in prospective blood donors may indicate an underlying disease, may result in an ineffective blood product and may cause harm to the recipient. Thus, the measurement of donor hemoglobin as a means of determining donor eligibility is of paramount importance. This Guideline identifies several of the methods currently in use for determining hemoglobin levels. The advantages, disadvantages, technical aspects and quality assurance considerations of each method are described so that collection personnel can choose a particular method that ensures protection of the donor and a safe and effective product for the recipient.
