Jefferson Health saw a significant opportunity to create a comprehensive patient blood management (PBM) program to reduce blood usage while decreasing costs, help address staffing issues, increase revenue and most importantly, improve patient outcomes.

In an August Becker’s Hospital Review webinar sponsored by Accumen, Chris Tomlinson, enterprise vice president of clinical lab, pathology & radiology and imaging at Jefferson Health in Philadelphia, and Joe Thomas, vice president at Accumen, discussed the importance of a comprehensive PBM program and how Jefferson Health’s program has benefited its system and patients.
