- The transfusion quality improvement project (QIP) at Al Managil Teaching Hospital aimed to enhance the use of standardized blood transfusion request forms to ensure better communication of patient information to the hospital's blood bank.
- A prospective study was conducted from May to August 2024, involving cycles of pre-intervention analysis, training sessions for clinical physicians, and post-intervention evaluations, ultimately implementing a new transfusion request form.
- Results showed substantial improvements in the completeness of these forms over three cycles, with completion rates for key clinical parameters dramatically increasing from just 8% to 96%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the interventions.
