This ADRP publication introduces a standardized set of industry definitions designed to create consistency across the blood donation profession. Developed as an ADRP board initiative and carried out by a dedicated small working group, the resource establishes a shared language for donor, operational, and collection terminology—helping organizations improve data clarity, align performance metrics, and strengthen collaboration across the field.
