Jupiter Medical Center has been granted an AABB accreditation for its transfusion
activities. Transfusions are provided to replace blood lost due to surgery
or traumatic injury. They also help patients with illnesses that prevent
the production of blood or its components, such as red cells, plasma or
platelets, which form clots to stop bleeding. The accreditation process
follows an intensive on-site assessment and establishes that the level
of technical and administrative performance within the facility meets
or exceeds the standards set by AABB. Formerly known as the American Association
of Blood Banks, AABB is an international, not-for-profit association dedicated
to the advancement of science and the practice of transfusion medicine
and related biological therapies. AABB’s Accreditation Program contributes
to the quality and safety of collecting, processing, testing, distributing
and administering blood and cellular therapy products.
