Blood Center Licensing and Certification Program
Program Overview
A blood center includes a blood bank, a blood storage facility, a plasma center, a hospital, or other facility where blood or blood products are collected. Any facility that meets the definition of a blood center prescribed in Indiana Code 16-41-12-3 must be licensed by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) on an annual basis. A blood center must also be registered or licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration and comply with all applicable federal regulations.
The ISDH monitors the health care quality of blood centers through the licensure process. ISDH surveyors visit centers annually for licensure inspections or more often if complaints are filed about a center.
