PROGRAM GOALS

The goals of a Bloodless Medicine and Surgery Program (BMSP) generally include:

​

1. Respecting the needs of patients who cannot or choose not to receive blood transfusions: The primary goal of a BMSP is to provide patients with medical care that respects their personal, religious, or medical beliefs about blood transfusions.

2. Improving patient care and outcomes: A BMSP focuses on providing safe, effective, and evidence-based medical care that does not rely on blood transfusions. By using alternative techniques and treatments, a BMSP can help improve patient outcomes, reduce hospital stays, and promote faster recovery.

3. Eliminating the risks associated with blood transfusions: Blood transfusions can carry significant risks, including infections, allergic reactions, and other complications. A BMSP aims to minimize or eliminate these risks by offering alternative treatments that do not require blood transfusions.

4. Promoting sound economic practices: Blood transfusions can be costly, and they can also lead to longer hospital stays and higher healthcare costs. A BMSP can help reduce healthcare costs by using alternative techniques that are often more cost-effective than blood transfusions.

Overall, the goals of a BMSP are focused on providing high-quality medical care to patients who require transfusion-free options, while also promoting safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in healthcare delivery.
