IQM Consulting initiates research and development in Transfusion Medicine related Health Sciences. The focus is on post-academic applied research and peer reviewed publications, and guidance of PhD projects
Scientific research and PhD projects
Scientific research and PhD projects focus on Transfusion Medicine related Health Sciences – e.g.:
- Modelling of blood supply and clinical use systems
- Regulatory frameworks, governance, stewardship and leadership
- Estimating national needs for blood; developing models
- Cost calculation models in Transfusion Medicine; developing models
- Key elements of infrastructure to allow safe and sustainable blood supply systems
- Logistics of demand and supply in Transfusion Medicine (cold chain); regular and special conditions (contingency planning; humanitarian, nature, pandemics)
- Key elements of infrastructure to allow safe and sustainable hospital transfusion practices (patient blood management, eliminating avoidable harm)
- Epidemiology of clinical use of blood
- Quality System and Quality System Management aspects of Transfusion Medicine; procurement and clinical use
- Implementation of guidelines and standards; factors that determine sustained effect on current practices (both in procurement and clinical use – vein-to-vein)
- Cost effectiveness of introduction of advanced technology (e.g., TTI markers, pathogen reduction, cryopreservation) in developing countries
- Social marketing as a tool to convert family and replacement ad hoc blood donation into regular stable voluntary and altruistic blood donation
