MD0868 iii CORRESPONDENCE COURSE OF THE U.S. ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT CENTER AND SCHOOL SUBCOURSE MD0868 BLOOD DONOR OPERATIONS I I Quality, in all aspects of care and services, is the primary goal of blood centers and transfusion services. Over the years many discrete activities have been incorporated into standing operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure the quality of the final whole blood (WB) unit or component, such as quality control of reagents, staff competency testing and laboratory proficiency testing programs, procedures for equipment maintenance, and documentation of error and accident investigations. The blood banking and transfusion medicine community has evaluated this quality model of discrete activities and has determined that current quality standards require a more comprehensive, prospective, system-based model. This new model is quality assurance (QA).
