Abstract: Objective The data related to the operation efficiency of key positions were compared to understand the work efficiency of key positions in some small and medium-sized blood collection and supply institutions. Methods The data from 20 institutions between 2017 and 2021, such as total numbers of whole blood donated, total numbers of apheresis platelets, tested samples, total blood supply service population, numbers of workers in whole blood collection department, apheresis platelets collection department, component processing department, testing department and blood supply department, were collected. The work efficiency was calculated and compared. The status and differences of work efficiency were analyzed and the number of personnel allocated in each position was obtained. Results The work efficiency of blood collection staffs in 20 institutions ranged from 2.11 to 12.62 units/person/day. The work efficiency of apheresis platelets collection ranged from 1.10 to 9.32 units/person/day. Blood component processed ranged from 8.94 to 36.96 units person/day. Samples tested ranged from 13.67 to 47.53 samples/person. The number of populations served by blood supply staff ranged from 334 615 to 1 694 300 person. Conclusion The work efficiency of key positions in 20 institutions was different. The work efficiency of staff in the whole blood collection position, platelet collection position, component processing position and testing position in most institutions showed an upward trend, while the work efficiency of staffs in the blood supply position showed a downward trend. It suggests that blood collection and supply institutions should improve their work efficiency of positions with work efficiency lower than the median.
