What is Patient Blood Management - A Patient's Guide
Today, SABM is recognized as a key educational resource for Patient Blood Management. SABM is grounded in scientific validation, evidence-based practices and focused on promoting the patient’s best interest through effective and optimal blood management.
NEW! Patient Blood Management - What Healthcare Executives Need to Know
“As an administrator, you don’t often have something presented to you that improves patient safety, improves clinical outcomes, quality of care — and also saves money. And that’s exactly what a PBM program does.”
– Larry Burns, FACHE, SABM Advisory Director
Improvement of Patient Outcomes with Hemoglobin Monitoring in the Critical Care and Perioperative Setting
Perioperative hemoglobin provides the best insight into a patient’s current condition. Continuous hemoglobin monitoring provides information clinicians need to determine if there is a directional change in a patient’s condition.
Best Transfusion Practices - Role of Transfusion in the Management of Anemia
Despite widespread use, blood transfusion remains one of the most complex medical decisions and should not be taken lightly due to risks, costs, and supply.

Anemia Prevention and Management Program Implementation Guide
Anemia Prevention and Management Program Implementation Guide
AUTHOR: SABM
The Anemia Prevention and Management Implementation Guide is the result of a joint collaboration between SABM and The Society for Hospital Medicine. It is estimated that one third of the world’s population suffers from anemia. In hospitalized patients, the presence of anemia is an independent risk factor for a host of unfavorable outcomes, yet it is often ignored or overlooked. Early detection and treatment can reduce risk and improve the health status of patients. This guide provides a framework for hospital based anemia management quality improvement projects, resulting in better quality care at reduced cost.
