In a recent survey, many hospitals, especially those not served by a regional transfusion medicine service, expressed a need for continuing technical and educational support. Many also supported the TraQ program concept. PBCO is seeking guidance from TRG members and other medical and technical professionals in order to make a decision on the future direction of TraQ. PBCO is also seeking help from medical and technical professionals to take a more leading role in the development of this program. Work relationships with the PBCO can be made either through a flexible contractual or a permanent part-time arrangement. Information sessions will also be held with the TRG and with other medical and technical professionals in the near future to discuss the future of the TraQ program.
Quality is an intrinsic value of true professionals.
Please join me in thanking Kathy for her great contribution to the quality movement in transfusion medicine in British Columbia.
