After assessment over 6 months, 21 (1%) of 2041 women lacked an admission ABO\/Rh; all subsequently had ABO\/Rh determinations. Umbilical cords were missing for eight (0.4%) mothers; four were D\u2212 and received RhIG. We developed algorithms for diagnostic blood ordering for patients deemed at \u201clow,\u201d\u201cmoderate,\u201d or \u201chigh\u201d risk of blood transfusion. A 27% reduction in total diagnostic test volumes and 24% reduction in charges was documented after compared to before implementation. We analyzed the impact of our massive transfusion protocol (MTP) on blood inventory management for 31 (0.25%) women undergoing 12,945 deliveries, representing 11% of 286 MTPs for all clinical services over a 32\u2010month interval. O\u2212 uncrossmatched red blood cells (RBCs) represented 103 (24%) of 421 RBC units issued. Wastage rates of RBCs, plasma, and platelets ordered and issued in the MTPs were 0.7, 16, and 3%, respectively.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:bold> QI initiatives for RhIG
