Program Description
Implementing a Patient Blood Management program requires a strategic plan and engagement from a multi-disciplinary team. This eCast will inform the audience on ways to first stop and evaluate the culture and people, collaborate with those who have “feet on the ground” and listen to feedback. Engagement first requires knowing the history and then moving forward to a plan for successful implementation.
