Programs: The institute for transfusion medicine (itxm) is the "parent" entity of a health care system dedicated to providing blood and blood-related products and services to the community. Itxm provides certain services for itself and for its affiliated organizations, including accounting, purchasing, human resources, quality assurance, information systems, strategic planning, education, maintenance and corporate administrtation. The consolidation of these services in one entity provides economies of scale and efficiency so as to improve the delivery of cost effective health care to the community at large. Itxm provides training programs for medical residents and fellows in the areas of transfusion medicine and coagulation. Itxm is also actively involved in research. Itxm medical staff hold federal grants and participate in important national clinical trials in blood safety, transfusion and hemostasis. Educating the community is also a service provided by itxm. Through an active speakers' bureau and joint programs with other health care providers, itxm presents information on the safety of blood, blood component therapy, coagulation, thrombosis and other pertinent topics. Since it is estimated that two out of five people will need a blood transfusion at some point in their lives, these educational opportunities help caregivers, patients and potential recipients of this precious resource understand the blood supply and transfusion issues and alleviate some of the misconceptions related to transfusion medicine.
