Possibly no structural issue in blood banking is as problematic as that of service “territory.” The Regionalization Program of the American Blood Commission has worked with numerous regions in an effort to achieve a rational resolution of territorial issues. This paper discusses approaches utilized by these regions and results achieved. It provides a discussion of an alternate model that facilitates resolution of some problems. This information may be beneficial to regions that encounter similar problems.
