Blood and Blood Product Dashboard

Learn more about how the dashboards are set up.

This dashboard details the Report Type (i.e., Incident, Near Miss, and Unsafe Condition), Type of Blood Product Involved, Report Type by Blood Product, Reported Contributing Factor to the Event, the Incorrect Action and the extent of patient harm by age category. Selecting one of the options in the top table below will display a related figure and table. This information can also be downloaded as an Excel file from the links in the Additional Resources box.

The Network for Patient Safety Databases (NPSD) does not contain a representative sample of patient safety concerns and cannot be used to calculate the actual incidence or prevalence of patient safety concerns. The reporting of patient safety concerns to the NPSD is voluntary, as is the reporting to Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs) by providers. The NPSD is a summary of certain elements in Common Formats for Event Reporting-Hospital (CFER-H) Version 1.2 and Version 2.0 for specific types of patient safety concerns that have been submitted voluntarily by a portion of the AHRQ-listed PSOs.
