Blood & Bone Marrow China (BBCn) is both a student association of Southern Medical University (SMU) and a social welfare organization established by the SMU students. Based on a patient-hospital-student/society (PHS) win-win strategy, BBCn fully utilizes the circulatory management of Quality Control Circle (QCC) and the Plan-Do-Check-Action mode (PDCA) as an operation framework to train the medical students into skills-based volunteers so that they have sufficient expertise to provide professional medical services in the medical, teaching and scientific fields.
BBCn is characterized by public welfare, innovation and easy accessibility. It holds to the tenet that a small donation of blood platelet can make a big difference. With a view to improve the Patient Experience and the health care quality and relying on the PHS strategy, BBCn carry on a series of volunteering services on an ongoing basis. Chinese college students, international students and medical works are congregated from Guangzhou, Foshan and Changsha to be committed to the services. Four stages can be identified in these public welfare services: the plan formulation, the task allocation, the innovation-driven implementation, and the competition-based practice. All members are actively and pleasantly involved in the cause.
BBCn gives priority to the raising of the public awareness about the platelet donation in order to mobilize people as volunteer platelet donors. It also strives to establish and maintain a Platelet Bank for patients. By means of health education, scientific surveys, and public mobilization on platelet donation, BBCn channels professional volunteers and organizations into the public welfare cause to form a fine balance between patients and physician satisfaction. The goal of BBCn is to complement the advantages of patients, doctors and volunteers and to achieve mutual benefits and win-win results.
