Blood Stocks Management's (BSMS) VANESA data entry recommendations for hospitals

We are updating the recommended minimum data entry into VANESA, our data management system, to improve our understanding of stock levels and enhance reporting back to scheme participants. 

The recommendations are: 

• red cell stock entries - increase from 15 to 20 per month

• wastage entries - remain at one per month for red cells and platelets and are now also recommended at one per month for FFP and cryoprecipitate
