Abstract

This article discusses the development of a new data visualization tool called Sanguine, which is designed to evaluate and improve patient blood management (PBM) practices. The tool uses a multidimensional database to retrieve data from electronic health records and blood bank information systems. It offers various visualizations, such as dumbbell charts, scatterplots, heat maps, and stacked bar charts, to assess PBM in different clinical contexts. The tool also includes features like "Patients like mine" functionality, which allows clinicians to review potential scenarios based on similar past patients. Feedback from surgeons, anesthesiologists, and health system leaders has been positive, and the tool provides insights into PBM practices that are not available elsewhere.
