TxMD Transfusion Medicine Resources

Transfusion and patient blood management educational materials for healthcare professionals.

TxMD™ Transfusion Medicine Program

TxMD is a collaborative partnership between Versiti and local hospitals. Through support from dedicated, specially trained personnel, our team identifies innovative transfusion medicine solutions to enhance patient safety and establish evidence-based blood administration practices. We strive to enhance the knowledge of all healthcare staff throughout our footprint who are involved with blood transfusion and related activities.

Two levels are offered:

  • Support service to all Versiti blood services clients
  • A TxMD customized program for contracted partners

The TxMD program offers onsite expertise, education, metrics and guidance to deliver sustained change in transfusion practice. Our focus for both service levels is to deliver appropriate, timely blood transfusion education materials and tools to improve operational efficiencies, reduce costs and advance quality of care.

Patient Blood Management

Patient blood management (PBM) is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach of various strategies and management during the continuum of care for patients who need transfusions. PBM’s primary goals are to improve patient safety and clinical outcomes by reducing the need for transfusion and appropriately managing a patient’s own blood.

In an increasingly complex healthcare environment, Versiti is committed to working with our hospital partners to support PBM efforts. Our goal is to ensure the right blood product to the right patient, at the right time and for the right reason.
