The Quality Team was comprised of several individuals including a Quality Team Leader, and a number of Quality Assistants. The responsibilities of the Quality Team included: working with Transfusion Medicine Laboratories in area hospitals to achieve a total quality system, identification, standardization and implementation of 'best transfusion practices' throughout the regional hospitals, development and implementation of standard operating procedures (SOP) based on best practices, development and implementation of transfusion/administration guidelines, assessment of blood utilization, education, training, non-conformance (error) management, and surveillance.
