ADRP Webinar: Strategies to Offset Donor Recruitment Challenges
Sponsored by:
MVRBC uses data from Terumo’s KPI Dashboard to drive efficiencies in collection of apheresis products, including platelets collected vs. offered. Dashboard review shows us what sites are doing well and where we have opportunity. We mobilize Trima operations daily to meet our patient need. We have recently opened a donor center in a new territory. We mobilized Trima prior to opening the donor center to build the apheresis program. In addition to our purple-top program, we’re using Branch Analytics to increase our platelet-donor base. Finally, we will discuss our incentive programs for both donor services and donor recruitment staff. These incentives include: Phlebotomy Success Rate; Automated RBC Product goal; Apheresis Platelet Product goal; and Trima Efficiency goal. These were developed to drive improvement without just handing over money to collection and recruitment teams. These are quarterly incentives and have driven Donor Services and Donor Recruitment to work more closely together to increase collections.
Description of presentation:
· Improving drive collection efficiencies
· Implementing novel donor recruitment strategies
· Using staff incentives to drive organizational success
