Doctors at Duke Clinical Research Institute analyzed data from three big trials involving more than 24,000 patients, 10% of whom had had transfusions during their first 30 days in the hospital.

Under the guidance of students, faculty, and administrators, the specific indicators and goals can adapt to incorporate improved technologies and knowledge about sustainability, as well as the know-how of Harvard staff implementing the principles...
