Haemovigilance

Australian Haemovigilance Report - 29 July 2010

The Initial Australian Haemovigilance Report 2008 presented a selection of the available information on transfusion-related adverse events reported in Australia over a period of three to five years before the report. The current report improves upon the standards of the Initial Australian Haemovigilance Report 2008 in a number of significant ways.

The National Blood Authority (NBA) has established a national haemovigilance program and Haemovigilance Advisory Committee (HAC) to support the continued development and alignment of jurisdictional haemovigilance reporting systems with the recommended national haemovigilance dataset, where this is not already achieved. To enable this, with reference to international haemovigilance and Australian national data dictionaries, the HAC has produced the Australian National Haemovigilance Data Dictionary.

This report includes validated data from jurisdictional haemovigilance programs including BloodSafe in South Australia, the Queensland Incidents in Transfusion program and the Victorian Blood Matters-Better Safer Transfusion Program and the Serious Transfusion Incident Reporting (STIR) program. STIR also supports haemovigilance in Tasmania, the ACT and Northern Territory. Limited data has been included from the NSW Blood Watch program.

Frequently Asked Questions have been developed to accompany the Report.

Copies of the Report can be obtained from the NBA by completing the order request form below.
