Functionality
The Blood Bank system enables:
- creating a “Regional Blood Donor Register,” which allows to:
- quickly search donors with rare antigen combinations
- unify the donor registering system
- provide examination results obtained in one blood donation point or station in all other computerized locations
- create a register of people, who cannot donate blood for health reasons
- facilitate planned summoning of donors
- eliminate repeating serological tests on the same person
- improving management of blood and blood derivatives, especially by:
- obtaining information on the condition and type of blood at all blood donation points that are connected to the computer system
- controlling the condition and stock of blood in hospital wards
- ensuring connection between the blood donor and blood recipient in the database
- increasing report reliability
- creating a “Recipient Register” that enables choosing the right blood for a patient faster, and easily reviewing the results of previous examinations
- directly connecting diagnostic apparatus to a computer, thus eliminating any potential errors during manual examination result entering
- introducing a barcode system in order to eliminate data entry errors and accelerate the entire procedure
- collecting statistical data and analyzing it to support making decisions on long-term activities related to blood treatment and blood service organization
