Anemia Prevention and Management Program Implementation Guide
Anemia Prevention and Management Program Implementation Guide
AUTHOR: SABM and The Society for Hospital Medicine
The Anemia Prevention and Management Implementation Guide is the result of a joint collaboration between SABM and The Society for Hospital Medicine. It is estimated that one third of the world’s population suffers from anemia. In hospitalized patients, the presence of anemia is an independent risk factor for a host of unfavorable outcomes, yet it Is often ignored or overlooked. Early detection and treatment can reduce risk and improve the health status of patients. This guide provides a framework for hospital based anemia management quality improvement projects, resulting in better quality care at reduced cost.

SABM wins first step with CMS at the National Government Services for policy changes to help facilitate expanded coverage on the use of Intravenous iron as an outpatient anemia management strategy.
SABM has created an educational campaign to increase awareness about current issues regarding the treatment restrictions for anemia. This campaign includes a background presentation “SABM Call for CMS Coverage of Anemia Treatment”, a slide presentation provided to CMS “SABM Call for CMS Coverage of IV Iron”, and a Sample letter for MAC healthcare providers interested in affecting change of the policy restrictions (LCD’s) administered by their local Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC’S).

Attention Hospital Administrators!
- Improve Clinical Outcomes
- Achieve Regulatory Compliance
- Optimize Reimbursement
- Increase Patient Satisfaction
- Reduce Waste and Cost
The SABM Executive Guide shows you how and why you should adopt a PBM Program at your hospital.
Consider these reasons:
- Economics – PBM reduces waste and costs associated with the purchase and delivery of unneeded blood components
- Regulatory Compliance – PBM aligns hospital with new ACA rules that tie reimbursement to patient outcomes and reduces costs associated with unreimbursed treatment for blood-related hospital acquired conditions
- Clinical Outcomes – PBM improves patient outcomes by reducing exposure to risks associated with blood transfusion and by employing strategies that reduce the need for blood, resulting in decreased morbidity, mortality, shorter length of stay and reduced readmissions within 30 days
- Market Impact – PBM makes the hospital more competitive by offering a service that decreases costs, is safer for the community, employs best practices and sets the institution apart from the rest
- Patient Experience and Hospital Reputation – PBM potentially improves the grades the hospital receives from patients because it is patient-centered, not product-centered and focused on better patient outcomes, quality and safety
- Patient Recruitment – PBM potentially increases patient recruitment by creating a safer, more progressive healthcare experience and destination that produces good results and healthier patients
- Science Based – PBM is evidence-driven based on latest research and represents the cutting-edge of healthcare delivery
