Haemovigilance is a process of a data collection of transfusion-related
events and reactions in order to study their causes and outcomes, and to
prevent their occurrence or recurrence. It can covers all activities in the
blood chain, vein-to-vein, from donor to recipient to identify and help
adverse reactions and unwanted events. It can include the identification,
reporting, investigation and analysis of adverse reactions and events in
recipients and blood donors as well as incidents in manufacturing processes
and, eventually errors and “near-misses”.
