BACKGROUNDBlood transfusion services play a crucial role in patient's health care management. The quality of blood and blood products as well as their injudicious use may affect the health care facility. Therefore, it becomes necessary for any blood centre to promote high standards of quality in all aspects of its blood transfusion services. This can be achieved through implementation of quality management systems, which can be monitored to provide high quality services. Quality management systems can be monitored with the help of performance measures known as Quality Indicators (QI's). Thus, our study is aimed to evaluate and analyse quality indicators as performance tools of our Blood Transfusion Services. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis descriptive study was conducted in Department of Immunohematology and Blood Transfusion, MGM Medical College and Hospital, Kamothe, Navi Mumbai for a period of three years (2014 -2016). The data was captured for eight most frequently used quality indicators in our blood bank, defined by NABH and was tabulated and charted. RESULTSOn analysing the outcomes of the quality indicator parameters, we found that overall TTI% was found to be 0.93% and ATRR was 0.16%. Overall, wastage rate of whole blood and PRC were 2.05% and 3.19% respectively, while that of platelet it was 16.11% and for FFP and Cryoprecipitate it was 1.52%. Overall, TAT for routine issues were 135.82 mins and for emergency issues it was 29.87 mins. The overall QC failure rate of PRBC, platelet, FFP and SwPC (Saline washed packed cells) was 10.67%, 8.22%, 8.63% and 11.03% respectively. ADRR was found to be 1.15%, while DDR was 8.23%. The overall percentage of component issued were 98.18%. CONCLUSIONA well-structured blood transfusion service contributes towards a better healthcare in a hospital, which is reflected by quality indicators. Quality Indicator Data is acted upon by continuous measurement, identifying problems, root cause analysis, implementing corrective action, developing a quality improvement strategy (i.e. Preventive action), reporting and seeking opportunities for improvement. Quality indicators act like tools for continuous improvement to enable an organisation to achieve its quality goals. Hence, by implementation of root cause analysis, corrective and preventive measures, the concerned authorities should ensure that the QI's are instituted in the right way for improving the quality of BTS in the organisation.

“…Also, the quality of healthcare provided by hospitals is influenced by the primary health system (3), a segment where a series of changes done at national level might improve the overall performance (4) The implementation of quality is done by reporting the performance indicators to specific reference standards for the aspects for which the performance is evaluated. Also, the increase of the quality is ensured by the internal and external monitoring, both by the staff and by the internal evaluators (5,6).…”

Healthcare management has certain particularities, especially when it comes to the quality of the services it provides. Continuous improvement and adaptation of these services to the needs of the patients it’s an activity which should be part of the strategy any medical institution has, especially hospitals. In this paper we analyze the results of the evaluations prior and after several measures were implemented in order to improve the quality of the medical services in a medical institution.
