Dear Patient Blood Management Program Coordinator/Director,

You are invited to participate in our survey of hospital based Patient Blood Management (PBM) program leaders. PBM programs are a relatively new concept for US hospitals and data that can be used by PBM program leaders to improve their effectiveness is needed. Your contributions to this survey will give program leaders like yourself information about US PBM programs and factors that contribute to their effectiveness.

Your participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and there are no correct or incorrect answers. Your responses will be completely confidential and results will reported only in aggregate. Your data will be de-identified and will never be shared with another hospital. This survey requests information that may need to be gathered from other areas such as blood utilization reports. It will ask about your PBM program structure, effectiveness measures your facility monitors, and indications for transfusion. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete. If you feel uncomfortable answering any of the questions you may withdraw at any time. If you have any questions about the survey you may contact Sandra Lamm at [email protected].

Thank you very much for your participation. The information you supply will be very useful. Please start the survey by answering the consent and clicking on "next".

Sincerely,

Sandra Lamm MT (ASCP), CLS (NCACLP), MSHA
Blood Bank Supervisor
