Visiun releases innovative blood bank utilization system for laboratories and transfusion services

Visiun, Inc., the leader in performance analytics for the laboratory, announced today the release of a blood bank utilization module for laboratories and transfusion services across the nation. This comprehensive new system will change the way blood banks optimize patient blood management.

Blood banks will now be able to quickly identify how well hospital physicians are complying with transfusion service protocols in order to reduce inappropriate transfusions. Analysis of large-scale data will also allow the blood bank to review cross-matched to transfused ratios along with determining transfusion probabilities.

"Blood products are one of the largest line items in the health system's budget," says Thomas Joseph, Visiun's CEO. "Our new blood bank utilization system provides transfusion managers with the tools and insight to take preemptive measures to optimize patient blood management, thus saving money and improving patient care."

This new blood bank utilization system is the newest component of Visiun's core product, Performance Insight™. Performance Insight provides laboratory directors and managers with business intelligence and analytics to help their management teams monitor key performance indicators. Rich graphical reporting provides immediate insight into key aspects of laboratory performance including turnaround time, productivity, quality, test utilization, and blood bank utilization.
