Intra-hospital Blood Bank Needs Identification Tool

This template was developed to improve and expedite the communication of needs from clinical departments to their intra-facility blood bank. Facilitating this interaction can expedite the transmission of projected blood product needs to regional blood banks, reducing the probability that blood products will be delayed or insufficient to meet emergency needs. While some material may be dated, hospitals may find it useful to review their massive transfusion protocols and adjust the ratios of blood products needed to have on hand.
