umeshkumar Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi all, I need to know what other indicators other than CT ratio be used to monitor blood utilization when a Blood bank of a 40 bedded acute care hospital procures blood from a central Blood bank and issues it to its patients. In other words, What indicators may be chosen to monitor blood banking services in a hospital of this sort? Can you share your thoughts.
