Popis: In the Poitou-Charentes area, a regional pilot program was implemented over a two year-period to improve transfusion safety in public and private hospitals. This program consisted in: (i) an evaluation of the transfusion chain in hospitals; (ii) a regional program to guide hospitals in improving the quality process. Five workgroups were set up. Three persons in each hospital should participate in the workgroup: one representing the administration, one the medical staff and one the nursing staff. After a six months follow-up several hospitals were prompted to implement corrective and preventive measures to improve transfusion safety; (iii) a letter was regularly published to contribute to set-up a regional haemovigilance network. Such a quality improvement program revealed to be a relevant method to steer the changing blood transfusion process in hospitals.
