Better Care Hospital-wide Risk-share Program

Reducing cost of care is a central focus in every hospital today. Red blood cell transfusions and their related costs are one of the largest cost centers in every hospital. Transfusions can save lives, but the evidence is clear that they also dramatically increase risk and cost. These facts underscore the need to transfuse only when necessary. Hemoglobin concentration is a primary indicator of the need for transfusion and invasive blood draws for laboratory hemoglobin determination are among the most common tests performed in hospitals, but they can only offer intermittent and often delayed results. Masimo noninvasive and continuous total hemoglobin (SpHb^®) has been shown to help clinicians reduce blood transfusions during surgery, as well as provide an early indication of hemoglobin drops in medical and surgical intensive care, obstetric, trauma, and general‐floor patients, allowing lifesaving interventions.

In keeping with our mission to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care, Masimo is proud to introduce its risk‐share program for Blood Transfusion Related Cost Reduction (BTR‐CR, “Better Care”). Masimo guarantees that when a hospital utilizes Masimo rainbow ReSposable^™ sensors and monitors noninvasive total hemoglobin (SpHb), pleth variability index (PVI^®), and methemoglobin (SpMet^®) ‐ in addition to Masimo SET^® SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index ‐ that the incremental price paid for the rainbow^® ReSposable sensors will be exceeded by a reduction in blood transfusion related costs.¹

If the documented reduction in blood transfusion‐related costs in a hospital do not exceed the incremental price paid for Masimo rainbow ReSposable^™ sensors, Masimo will provide a refund for the difference between the incremental price paid and the reduction in blood transfusion related costs.

1)	Implement and utilize Masimo rainbow® technology and rainbow ReSposable™ sensors in all applicable care areas
2)	Receive education on the appropriate use of Masimo rainbow® technology from Masimo
3)	Document all blood transfusion related costs during the period before and after the implementation of Masimo rainbow® technology
