Improved Safety And Efficacy With Standardised Plasmapheresis Protocol

Background/Problem: Plasmapheresis is a procedure that involves extracorporeal separation of blood products resulting in filtered plasma, which has therapeutic application in various diseases including TTP. The plasmapheresis ordering with the labs involved can be tedious, time consuming and is prone to errors. With electronic medical records, we have the opportunity to have order sets for most complex orders. We developed plasmapheresis order set for our VA and prospectively assessed the impact of utility of using the plasmapheresis order set.
