Abstract

Principal national goals for a blood service system are concerned with shortage, quality, accessibility, and efficiency. Since regional blood service operating objectives based on these goals are in partial conflict, a single policy does not exist. Usinga computer-based planning system, four policies are examined and tested for their effects on these objectives. The policies are: use of frozen red cells (a technological alternative); extension of the useful life of fresh blood (a legal alternative); improved collection planning (a planning alternative); and improved inventory management (a management alternative). Model projections of the effects of each policy and comparative performance of each policy with respect to the principal objectives are discussed.
