Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano is a leader in offering Blood Management in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Our mission is to improve the lives of the people in the communities we serve. This means being sensitive to the needs of patients who avoid blood and blood products. We feel, as some physicians do, that to embrace blood management means to:
- Preserve a precious resource
- Promote appropriate use of blood
- Reduce costs
- Improve outcomes
- Benefit society
Patients also value our services, especially the availability of a coordinator to assist with physician referrals, advance directives and patient relations with staff 24 hours a day. This can be very comforting at a time when patients feel vulnerable. With a greater sense of control over their health care decisions, the quality of the recovery period is improved.
Blood Management will be recognized as a valued source of knowledge and a leader for implementation of blood management in clinical practice. Through the application of safe, simple and effective alternatives to blood, we are providing quality patient-centered care through a blood-avoidance approach.
