Business Unusual: Unlocking Strategic Ways to Manage Blood Supply and Improve Patient Care.
Blood product utilization and costs are rising and blood supply is decreasing. Emerging evidence continues to indicate that blood component transfusion is not benign and associated in a dose-dependent manner with several serious short- and long-term complications. Effective patient blood management (PBM) programs are critical to managing these trends while ensuring optimal patient outcomes. With an estimated 30-40% of blood transfusions considered unnecessary, excessive or avoidable, there is an opportunity to make a difference for the hospital and the patient. This session will highlight national trends in blood utilization and cost, patient blood management strategies and how health systems can optimize their blood use, address costs and improve patient blood health.
Precision Medicine: Your Role in Advancing the Future of Cancer Care
Precision medicine delivers the right treatment for the right patient at the right time, improving outcomes and eventually leading to lower healthcare costs. In the short term, precision medicine enables targeted therapy to start sooner for patients, which translates into improved efficiencies and better outcomes for health systems. And while today, precision medicine is helping clinicians realize new therapies and provide hope for generations of patients to come, it may be able to keep more people healthy in the future. Achieving this goal requires powerful insights, reliable data, efficient diagnostics and rapid results.
