5 5 ASFA 2016 Annual meeting Palm Springs California

6 Environment in the Industry Yesterday Today Supply issues Surplus supply Price focused, but supply still main issue Local presence important Draw till you drop Price is King Virtual trumps local if the price is right Niche blood centers have a decisive advantage

7 Our Goal Draw the right component --from the right donor --with the right blood type --with the right resources -- at the right time

8 How Do We Achieve Our Goals Lab & Processing Goals Patient Needs Hospital Requirements Rebooking Goals Regional Goals Donor Appointment Goals Center Goals Fixed-Site Goals Mobile Goals Donor Recruitment Goals

9 Whom and How Do We Ask? A = ASK the potential donor to donate an Apheresis product I = INFORM the potential donor about specific need M = MOTIVATE the donor to donate the product we need

10 Eldon Cards for Power Reds and Plasma First time donors who are willing to complete an automated donation Pre-screen at assembly, in biology class or at community events Pledge donor for next time if they do not have the time Reduces wait times ( important at High Schools) Target specific Blood types ( Rh negative and AB donors) First time donors receive package as incentive to return or donate Apheresis next time. 10 ASFA 2016 Annual meeting Palm Springs California

11 In a traditional blood donation, donors give whole blood consisting of red cells, plasma and platelets. A pheresis donation, donors give a specific component in greater quantities. During pheresis, whole blood is collected and a measured amount of the desired component separated into a special bag. Then the other components are combined with a saline solution and returned to the donor. (See backside for more information) is Get rewarded for saving lives Pledge to be an Apheresis donor! Apheresis donors who donate three or more times a year not only save lives, they achieve the Gold Level in our Hero Rewards program. Points earned can be redeemed for special thank-you items like movie tickets, gift cards and T-shirts. Name: Date of Birth: Phone: Best Location to Donate: City: State: Contact Preference: Phone Best day and time to contact me: I would like to schedule a pheresis donation. 11 ASFA 2016 Annual meeting Palm Springs California

12 Conversion Dedicated staff have to be experts in conversion Ensure all staff are educated Ensure donors and coordinators are educated Communication between departments on needs for the day Daily huddles to clearly communicate conversion goals How many platelets, plasma and 2 RBC collections per day per site? Evaluate donor schedule for best opportunities, highlight, communicate 12 ASFA 2016 Annual meeting Palm Springs California

13 13 Flirt to convert

14 Rebooking Set specific goals In the first 90 days we will rebook 50% of our donors By the end of the year we will rebook 70% of our donors Track your progress monthly at every site Share the information with staff so they are aware of where they are at all times. 14 ASFA 2016 Annual meeting Palm Springs California

15 Conversion I don t like things coming back into me I don t have time I had a reaction last time Avoid jargon Be honest about time required Show them Flirt to convert. 15

16 16 ASFA 2016 Annual meeting Palm Springs California

17 Example of Donor Communication 4 day old BABY, used 4 Red Blood Cells, 2 platelets, and 1 unit of plasma, Open Heart Surgery, Type O Negative Perfect Donors for him: Type O Negative donors for Red Cells Any blood type for platelets Any blood type for plasma 11 year old female, used 6 Red Blood Cells, 2 platelets, and 5 units of plasma, for Spina Bifida, Type O Positive Perfect Donors for her: Any Type O donors for Red Cells Any blood type for platelets Any blood type for plasma 17

18 Platelets Offering different kinds of incentives to blood donors is becoming a common way to meet blood demands. Special Platelet promotions Extra points Incentives for staff Maximize tools Stop light program - Minimize recurrent appointments for single platelet donors unless they are eligible for concurrent product Collections callers Rebook, Rebook, Rebook 18 ASFA 2016 Annual meeting Palm Springs California

19 Examples Stop Light Program 3 appointment average Red Donors Donors who have a show rate of 0 or 1 out of the last three appointments Yellow Donors Donors who have a kept 2 out of their last 3 appointments. Green Donors Donors who have a 100% show rate for their last 3 appointments Lucky 4 Promotion Make 4 appointments in the next 3 months 1 st extra points to reward store 2 nd - Water bottle 3 rd - Backpack 4 th - Long sleeved T-shirt 19 ASFA 2016 Annual meeting Palm Springs California
