    Hi All

    We have developed an automated reporting tool for hospital audit and transfusion staff to audit a NICE guideline quality standard saving time and resources

    This is a  quality improvement benchmarking audit tool for hospitals to regularly self-assess their compliance to elements of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)QS138 Blood Transfusion Quality Standard. QS138 Quality Insights is endorsed by NICE, referenced in the Serious Hazards of Transfusion Report and listed as a Transfusion 2024 resource to support the implementation of Patient Blood Management Action A1: develop a transfusion practice self-assessment tool to allow benchmarking. This audit tool evidences practice to plan and monitor improvement areas to enhance patient care. The tool is free to use, more information is available:

    If any Q members require further information, you can email at: NICEQS138@nhsbt.nhs.uk  as the approach could be adapted to use with other NICE guideline associated Quality Standards – Thanks
