Milford Regional Earns<br />
AABB Accreditation<br />
Milford Regional Medical Center has<br />
been granted AABB accreditation for<br />
transfusion services.<br />
The accreditation bestowed by the<br />
AABB (formerly known as the American<br />
Association of Blood Banks) follows an<br />
intensive on-site assessment by specially<br />
trained AABB assessors and establishes<br />
that the level of technical and administrative<br />
performance within the facility meets<br />
or exceeds the standards set by AABB.<br />
Milford Regional now joins similar facilities<br />
located throughout the United States<br />
and the world that have AABB accreditation.<br />
“The AABB’s accreditation procedures<br />
are voluntary and Milford Regional<br />
has sought AABB accreditation because<br />
this program assists facilities around the<br />
world in achieving excellence by promoting<br />
a level of professional and technical<br />
expertise that contributes to quality<br />
performance and patient safety,” says<br />
Edward J. Kelly, president and CEO of<br />
Milford Regional.<br />
The AABB is an international notfor-profit<br />
association dedicated to the advancement<br />
of science and the practice of<br />
transfusion medicine and related biological<br />
therapies. The accreditation program<br />
assesses the quality and operational systems<br />
in place within a facility. The basis<br />
for assessment is compliance with AABB<br />
standards, Code of Federal Regulations and<br />
other federal guidance documents.<br />
