BMS conference
Jan, did you go to this or link up or get notes?
I would be interested in any feedback and how they look at the less blood/ no blood fields being created almost weekly. Thanks for any info you may have. Len Buckholtz Long Beach CA |

Value Chain
I didn't attend. I was simply promoting the event. I know Tim Hannon who was one of the presenters. Along with others he is helping prove the value of managing (lowering in many cases) blood use. The current approach is not total absence of blood in medical surgical care. However blood use can be cut drastically by developing best practice guidelines. Approach a doctor and say zero blood and his eyes glaze over. Tell him optimal blood use or best practice and he will perk up. Physicians like Doctor Hannon are proving what many of us have been saying for more than a decade; blood transfusion therapy is a tool not a panacea.
