PRESS RELEASE
Hemo Concepts to Launch Integrated Blood Conservation
Programs
At Two American Red Cross Client Hospitals
(Eatontown, N.J. — December 20, 2006) — Hemo Concepts, Inc. today announced an agreement with American Red Cross Biomedical Services to initiate integrated blood conservation programs at two American Red Cross client hospitals with the intent to roll out integrated blood conservation programs at additional American Red Cross client hospitals.
“The American Red Cross recognizes its important social responsibility to provide a safe and available donor blood supply,” said Scott Buker, Director of National Accounts for American Red Cross Biomedical Services. “As more and more client hospitals see the benefits and request integrated blood conservation programs, Hemo Concepts has the potential of becoming an important partner in our ongoing efforts to manage this responsibility.”
Commenting on the agreement, Damon Keeley, Hemo Concepts’ Chairman and CEO said, “It’s very significant that the American Red Cross is assuming a leading role in the adoption of integrated blood conservation.” “We have a substantial amount of experience and favorable results which indicate that our integrated blood conservation programs will be successful and greatly benefit the American Red Cross and its clients across the country.”
As
Chief Medical Officer of American Red Cross Biomedical Services, Dr. Richard
Benjamin plays a crucial role in assuring that
Hemo Concepts’
Integrated Blood Conservation Program uses an evidence-based outcomes process,
combining on-site training, on-line continuing medical education, and patient outcomes
data analysis to promote appropriate donor blood utilization in hospitals. With patents pending, the company’s e-BOS
® (Evidence-Based Outcomes System) System utilizes powerful
web-based tools to shorten the educational process, allowing physicians and
nurses to quickly reduce their reliance on donor blood transfusions in patient
care.
