The evaluation of performance against the operational plan is an important component of the planning cycle, with activities regularly monitored by the senior executive management team and NBA Board. Key operational achievements included:
- adoption of BloodNet by 95 per cent of volume issued by the Blood Service
- finalisation of the second OBFM with the Blood Service
- finalisation of the Handover Plan with the Blood Service
- release of Modules 3 (Medical) and 4 (Critical Care) of the Patient Blood Management Guidelines and second edition of the IVIg
- launch of the new NBA website - www.blood.gov.au .
2013–14 Operational Plan
The NBA finalised the 2013–14 operational plan in June 2013, refining the planning approach, with a focus on greater alignment between the plan and a number of key NBA strategic documents, including the 2013-15 Jurisdictional Blood Committee Strategic Plan.
