SABM is a small to mid-sized organization in the hospitals and health care sector focused on enhancing patient blood management as a therapeutic approach. It was founded in 2001 by clinicians and nurses who sought a new framework for transfusion, moving beyond viewing it as a routine procedure. The group anchors its work in evidence-based transfusion guidelines, anemia management, coagulation optimization, and strategies to minimize bleeding, with a goal of improving patient outcomes. SABM operates as a global educational resource, delivering public education and continuing medical education programs, learning tools, and evidence-based clinical pathways to support practice. Based in East Dundee, Illinois, it serves a broad medical community and has engaged in partnerships to advance awareness and best practices; for example, a 2020 collaboration with Accumen occurred during Patient Blood Management Awareness Week.
