the compliance rose to more than 80% in last year, yet hard to be further increased. Through the inquiry of the hospital information system (HIS), we found that the average time of every patient from the initiation of the transfusion application online to the completion and delivery of the specimen was extended in this year. Our transfusion requisition can be divided into five steps: fill in the application online, patient confirmation, specimen collection, signature and send application. During these steps, significantly influence was found in patient confirmation, specimen collection and signature through the interview. Due to repeatedly examine to the requisition and complete information at the same time as strengthen the survey of COVID-19 patient, doctors spent more time on patient confirmation. Intensify disinfection procedures and biosafety protection would promote healthcare personnel more cautious during the specimen collection. In this time, hospital had strengthened the tracking of patients in every step of the treatment process, and was stricter on healthcare personnel signature. In summary, although these measures aim to COVID-19 were not directly involved in the transfusion request, healthcare personnel worked more carefully and kept focus during this process, which may promote the increase of the compliance rate of transfusion requisition.

The pandemic of COVID-19 is disastrous for global public health. However, our timely and effective responses may improve the medical quality, moreover, make some progress for the public health security.
