THE PHILOSOPHY OF QUALITY ASSURANCE IN THE BLOOD BANK H. F. Taswell
One year before this symposium, Cees Smit Sibinga and I began to
discuss an approach to quality assurance in the blood bank which we
felt would be both important and practical and could serve as the
basis for the choice of subjects to be presented in the symposium.
As an introduction to this book, I would like to outline our
approach, the subjects chosen and the rationale behind our choice.
What is the fundamental purpose of a blood bank and trans fusion
service? Simply stated, the purpose of a blood bank and transfusion
service and of a quality assurance program in blood banking is, for
the one to provide and, the other to assure safe and effective
transfusion therapy. This objective is in contrast to that of other
clinical laboratories. The objective in a clinical chemistry
laboratory is to produce accurate test results which will be
meaningful to the clinician taking care of his patient. In most
clinical laboratories, therefore, the goals of a quality assurance
program are largely quantitative, that is, to assure accurate
numerical test results. In contrast, in the blood bank, the goals
of quality assurance are primarily qualitative, that is, to assure
safe and effective transfusion. As a result, two somewhat different
approaches to quality assurance are necessary.
