Haemovigilance is a "quality process" with the aim to improve quality and increase safety of blood transfusion, taking into account that haemovigilance covers and surveys all activities of the blood transfusion chain from donors to recipients. Haemovigilance is indispensable when it comes to safety and quality of blood transfusions. Within the European Union (EU), the European Blood Directive requires haemovigilance in each Member State: the intention has been to rely on the existing or developing national systems. There are significant differences in haemovigilance around the world, in terms of definition, organisational schemes, state of development and implementation. These differences are more pronounced outside the EU: in some countries, even basic traceability causes a problem while in others systems similar as the most developed ones in the EU are implemented.
血液警戒是一个“质量过程”，旨在提高输血质量和安全性，因为血液警戒涵盖并调查从献血者到受血者的输血链的所有活动。在输血安全和质量方面，血液警戒不可或缺。在欧盟（EU）内部，《欧洲血液指令》要求每个成员国开展血液警戒：其意图是依靠现有的或正在发展的国家系统。在全球范围内，血液警戒在定义、组织架构、发展状态和实施方面存在显著差异。这些差异在欧盟以外更为明显：在一些国家，即使是基本的可追溯性也会引发问题，而在另一些国家，实施的系统与欧盟最发达的系统类似。
