33 Granulocyte Transfusions

34 Initial Questions Why is our hospital using >330 times more granulocyte transfusions than a comparable tertiary care hospital in Boston? Why is our hospital using more than 95% of all granulocytes in the city? Granulocytes = $1,575 per unit (local blood center)

35 Literature Review Transfusion, Blood N = 33,262 Granulocyte* N = 13,292 N = 606 N = 427 Limit to Human N = 100 Additional Searching 1. Other permutations of search parameters 2. Apply search to other data bases 3. Pull references from articles (reverse searching) 4. Forward searching in Web of Science 5. Other terms (e.g., neutrophils, aspergillus, etc.) Fungal Infection N = 8,322

36 Systematic Review Schiffer et al. (1979) Mannoni et al. (1979) Strauss et al. (1981) Sutton et al. (1982) Ford et al. (1982) Gomez-Vilagran et al. (1978) Clift et al. (1978) Winston et al. (1982) ln (OR of infection after tx) Similar limitations in study by Klein, Strauss, and Schiffer (1996). Vamvakas & Pineda. J Clin Apheresis 1997;12:74-81

37 Next Steps Restrict granulocyte transfusions to neonates with resistant fungal infections until better evidence is provided Annual savings to hospital: $261,450

44 Primary Data Sources Combined Data

45 Post Hoc Project Analysis POCT Launch 6/17/13 Before: 12/1/12-5/31/13 After: 7/1/13-12/31/13

46 Results Decreased wait times for patients: cut down on our wait time to almost no wait for labs on ER and outpatients. [Chief MRI Technologist] Fewer canceled studies after patient arrival (Pre = 17.7/month, post = 2.6/month)

47 Chief of Medical Staff Just now thinning down my pile of to do stuff; sorry it has taken a few days to get back with you. Needless to say, I was very impressed with what [the lab has] been able to accomplish as it relates to data analytics, especially since the message I ve been receiving is that we can t do anything like this because the data is a mess.

48 Where did we learn these skills?

49 Orchard School of Medical Analytics Covers key subjects to help laboratory leaders more effectively lead teams in the laboratory and outside the laboratory to benefit healthcare organizations and patient populations. Prepare laboratory leaders to pounce on opportunities to demonstrate value, starting in the laboratory and expanding from there. Enable laboratory leaders to more effectively communicate and work with others in the healthcare system having different skill sets.

50 Analytics in My Lab? Can my lab also start developing and deploying analytical work? Dr. Thomas Novicki will speak tomorrow about findings and new projects at the Marshfield Clinic.
