Abstract
The performance of hospital blood transfusion services is crucial for patient safety and overall operational effectiveness. Blood management, as a vital and limited resource, plays a significant role. Traditional centralized blood management models often face challenges regarding response speed, potential waste, and quality control. As an alternative, Unit Pengelola Darah Rumah Sakit (UPDRS) offers the potential for performance enhancement. This narrative literature review is based on 16 relevant scientific articles identified through a database search (Scopus, Proquest, Wiley, Google Scholar) and a selection process visualized with a PRISMA diagram. Key findings identified significant impacts on cost efficiency, time efficiency (faster Turnaround Time), blood utilization (waste reduction, improved C:T ratio), and service quality and safety. Overall, the role of UPDRS tends to be positive for performance enhancement, particularly in speed and utilization, but its impact is contextual and requires strong internal management and adequate investment. Implementation challenges such as initial costs and regulations need to be considered.

Bahasa Abstract
Kinerja layanan transfusi darah rumah sakit menjadi krusial bagi keselamatan pasien dan efektivitas operasional secara keseluruhan. Pengelolaan darah sebagai sumber daya vital dan terbatas, memegang peranan penting. Model pengelolaan darah tradisional yang tersentralisasi seringkali menghadapi tantangan terkait kecepatan respons, potensi pemborosan, dan kontrol kualitas. Sebagai alternatif, Unit Pengelola Darah Rumah Sakit (UPDRS) menawarkan potensi peningkatan kinerja. Studi ini merupakan tinjauan literatur naratif berdasarkan 16 artikel ilmiah relevan yang diidentifikasi melalui pencarian database (Scopus, ProQuest, Wiley, dan Google Scholar) yang proses seleksi divisualisasikan dengan diagram PRISMA. Temuan utama studi ini menunjukkan adanya dampak signifikan pada efisiensi biaya, efisiensi waktu (Turnaround time yang lebih cepat), utilisasi darah (pengurangan pemborosan, perbaikan rasio C:T), serta peningkatan kualitas dan keselamatan pelayanan. Secara keseluruhan, peran UPDRS cenderung positif terhadap peningkatan kinerja, terutama dalam hal kecepatan dan utilisasi. Akan tetapi, UPDRS bersifat kontekstual dan memerlukan manajemen internal yang kuat serta investasi memadai. Tantangan implementasi seperti biaya awal dan regulasi perlu dipertimbangkan.
