Download Blood Management

Poised for the Future
• We are creating new platforms of service and
intend to grow, evolve and further diversify
in a manner that will positively impact the
community and the blood supply.
• OneBlood is an innovator of technology and is the
first center in the country to create state-of-theart simulated training centers, giving employees
hands-on learning before going out in the field.
• We created a custom-made, one-of-a-kind
regulated software platform called RSA
(Regulated Software Application) that
makes collecting, processing and
tracking the blood supply more
efficient and transparent. It
also streamlines the donation
process creating a faster
and better donor
experience.
As the landscape of our industry
continues to shift, OneBlood remains
at the forefront of creating a new
template for delivering safe, available
and affordable blood to our hospital
partners and their patients.
We will not wait for change to impact
our operations, we are leading the
change and setting the course for the
future. As a trusted community asset
and stewards of the blood supply, it
is our responsibility to be innovators
who forge new ground and break
the boundaries of what was once
considered traditional blood banking.
Our progressive and forward-thinking
strategy has strengthened the blood
supply and mitigated costs to our
hospital partners and their patients.
That’s what a community asset does.
Patient’s lives depend on the work
that we do and for that very reason we
remain focused on the safety of the
blood supply and always ensuring the
right unit of blood is available when
and where it is needed.

• As a community asset, we have taken the lead
in showing hospitals how they can actually use
less of our product by encouraging better blood
management practices.
• Blood management is a win, win. It helps
improve patient outcomes, allows hospitals to
control their costs because they don’t need as
much blood and in-turn helps prevent blood
shortages.
• The OneBlood Target Your Type initiative was
designed to empower and teach donors that
they play an important role in how the blood
supply is managed.
• Target Your Type is showing donors how to give
the most needed components of their blood by
choosing the best donation method for their
blood type.
• The Target Your Type approach greatly
strengthens the blood supply and helps ensure
the right type, at the right time is available for
the right patient, precisely when they need it.

Low Iron
Some donors, especially women,
struggle with a lack of iron –
or low hemoglobin in their bodies.
Iron is needed for your body to produce hemoglobin. This is
important because the hemoglobin in your red blood cells
carries the oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body.
If your body does not have enough iron, you may develop
iron deficiency anemia. Having iron deficiency results in
fewer red blood cells being produced by your body and less
oxygen is transported from your lungs, making you feel tired.
Your hemoglobin level plays a role in your ability to give
blood and must be at a certain level to donate. We will
check your hemoglobin levels and if the count is too low
you will not be able to donate that day.
The good news is that low
iron is usually a temporary
condition and can often
be improved simply by
eating more iron rich foods.
If this does not help, you
can also consult with your
physician about taking an
iron supplement.
Meat is one of the best
sources of iron. Dried
beans, fortified cereals
and breads as well as dark
leafy vegetables are also
good sources of iron. Dried
fruits, nuts and seeds make
healthy snacks and can also
help improve iron levels.
See reverse for detailed list of iron rich foods.
Iron Rich Foods
On average, a woman needs 18 mg iron a day
and a man needs 10 mg. See the table below

Hispanics
Hold the Power
to Save Lives
A Growing Need in
the Community
Hispanics are the fastest
growing segment of the
United States population,
yet only a small percentage
of Hispanics donate blood.
Many Hispanics have type
O blood, the blood type
in highest demand, so it’s
important to know that as
a Hispanic blood donor,
you make a powerful
contribution to patients
in need.
Since genetically similar
blood is preferred for people
needing repeat transfusions,
Hispanic blood donors are
more likely to be a match for
other Hispanic patients in
need of blood transfusions.
Adding more donors from diverse racial and ethnic
backgrounds increases the likelihood that all
patients will find the match they need. This is also
true for the National Marrow Donor Program’s
Be The Match Registry.
Visit www.oneblood.org to find the nearest donor
center location or the Big Red Bus.

Maria’s Story
Maria Ruibal’s life revolved around children. She had a
son and was devastated when doctors told her she would
not be able to conceive again. More than a decade later
she learned she was pregnant, but her joy nearly turned
to tragedy during delivery complications. She underwent
three surgeries and 17 blood transfusions and then lapsed
into a coma. Miraculously, Maria came out of the coma two
weeks later and finally was able to hold her newborn son,
Christopher, for the first time. She encourages everyone to
give blood to help give someone else a second chance.

Los afroamericanos
cuentan con un poder
único para salvar vidas
Los afroamericanos
y la anemia de
células falciformes
La anemia de células
falciformes es un trastorno
de la sangre heredaditario
que afecta principalmente a
los afroamericanos. Esta hace
que los glóbulos rojos de una
persona se vuelvan falciformes
o con forma de medialuna,
haciendo que sea difícil que
la sangre pase a través de los
vasos sanguíneos pequeños.
Los pacientes con anemia de
células falciformes a menudo
reciben transfusiones de sangre
para aumentar la cantidad
de glóbulos rojos normales
y ayudar a reducir el dolor y
aliviar la anemia. Dado que se
prefiere sangre genéticamente
similar para las personas
que necesitan transfusiones
reiteradas, los donantes de
sangre afroamericanos tienen
más probabilidades de ser
compatibles para la mayoría
de las personas con anemia de
células falciformes. Esto hace
que los afroamericanos sean
donantes ideales para ayudar
a los pacientes con anemia de
células falciforme.
Agregar más donantes de diversos orígenes raciales
y étnicos aumenta la probabilidad de que todos los
pacientes encuentren la compatibilidad que necesitan.
Esto también es así para el Registro “Be The Match” del
Programa Nacional de Donantes de Médula Ósea.
La
necesidad
es real
La historia
de Justin
Cuando Justin era bebé, gritaba, lloraba y extendía las manos
cuando sufría de dolor relacionado con la anemia de células
falciformes (SCD). Los médicos le diagnosticaron esta enfermedad incurable cuando tenía solo un año. Justin es ahora un
adolescente y disfruta de jugar al fútbol americano y escuchar
música. Es un adolescente típico, excepto que afronta la vida
sabiendo que siempre necesitará glóbulos rojos de donantes
compatibles para reemplazar sus células falciformes.
Cuando usted se convierte en donante de sangre, utiliza su
poder para ayudar a Justin y a otras 72,000 personas que sufren
de esta enfermedad, a menudo dolorosa.
Aumentar las donaciones de afroamericanos
es vital, porque los grupos sanguíneos O y B,
que son los de aproximadamente el 70% de
los afroamericanos, también están entre los
grupos sanguíneos con más demanda.
