Evaluation of the in‐hospital hemovigilance by introduction of the information technology–based system

Hemovigilance is an important aspect of transfusion medicine. However, the frequency of the adverse reactions often varies using different reporters. Recently, we have employed a new information technology (IT)‐based in‐hospital hemovigilance system. Here, we evaluated changes in practice after implementation of an IT‐based reporting system.
