Abstract
- Blood products refer to pharmaceuticals derived from human blood. According to the Blood Management Act of Korea, these include whole blood, packed red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, packed platelets, and other blood-related pharmaceuticals. These products are referred to by different names in the health insurance fee schedule. Also, the English names or abbreviations for these products are not given. Medical institutions require names and abbreviations in English for the hospital information systems. From the perspective of medical institutions, the names on the health insurance fee schedule would be more relevant as they are used for billing. The author proposes terminology and abbreviations for the blood products with the hope that these would find harmonized use in the Blood Management Act, health insurance fee schedule, and hospital information systems.
