Much of the recent work in transfusion practice has shifted to focus on the patient, after efforts over previous decades to ensure the quality and safety of blood products. After the commencement of hemovigilance and transfusion practice improvement programs, the introduction of transfusion practitioners (TP) into health care services and blood centers has continued to increase worldwide. Since this relatively new role was introduced, much work of the TP has focused on patient and staff education, adverse events, transfusion governance, and monitoring of transfusion practices within organizations. The complex nature of the transfusion process makes the TP an integral link in the transfusion chain. Together with hospital transfusion teams and committees, the TP works collaboratively to facilitate the transfusion change management programs and initiatives. Recently, the TP role has evolved to include an emphasis on patient blood management and, to some extent, is shaped by national standards and regulations. These established roles of the TP, together with the ever-changing field of transfusion medicine, provide new opportunities and challenges for a role that is continuing to evolve worldwide.
在过去几十年致力于确保血液制品质量和安全之后，输血实践方面的许多近期工作已转向关注患者。在开展血液警戒和输血实践改进项目之后，输血从业者（TP）在全球范围内持续增加地被引入到医疗服务和血库中。自从引入这个相对较新的角色以来，输血从业者的许多工作都集中在患者和员工教育、不良事件、输血管理以及组织内输血实践的监测上。输血过程的复杂性使输血从业者成为输血链中不可或缺的一环。输血从业者与医院输血团队及委员会合作，共同推动输血变革管理项目和举措。最近，输血从业者的角色已演变为强调患者血液管理，并且在一定程度上受到国家标准和法规的影响。输血从业者的这些既定角色，连同不断变化的输血医学领域，为这个在全球范围内持续演变的角色带来了新的机遇和挑战。
