Abstract

Information and computer technology popularizes in blood banks for its potentials in working efficiency as well as service quality. But, in the face of the explosive data and information, one of the challenges in blood bank information systems is how to make good use of them for decision making support. In this paper, we desire to explore the mechanisms of decision making support in blood bank information systems. Firstly, the properties of data and decisions in a blood bank are examined carefully; then, we introduce the development of computerized decision making support with special concerns on blood donation and transfusion service; finally, a case study is presented to evidence our understanding on decision making support in blood bank information systems.

The Transfusion Advisor: A Knowledge-Based System for the Blood Bank
Kent Spackman

The Transfusion Advisor is a knowledge-based system designed to facilitate the review of transfusion requests in the hospital blood bank. We have developed and performed an evaluation of a research prototype of the system which draws conclusions about twelve hemostatic disorders and critiques the appropriateness of the use of frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate (cryo), and platelets, which are products most commonly used for the treatment of hemostatic disorders. Our evaluation of the system revealed that there was closer agreement of the expert system with the domain expert than with the clinicians ordering the transfusions, and that the use of the transfusion advisor to screen transfusion requests may result in a substantial decrease in the use of these blood products.

A decision support system for quantitative measurement of operational efficiency in a blood collection facility
John Kros

Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2004

A decision support system (DSS) is presented that allows users to input, analyze, and output data derived from blood banking operations. The DSS developed is a hybrid system that is both data and model driven. The system provides information, models, and data manipulation tools to assist users in the quantitative measurement of the operational efficiency in a blood collection facility. A relational database was developed to address the four major variables, which impact the cost per unit of blood being collected. Using visual basic, a user interface and mathematical model were developed establishing the relationships to analyze cost per unit of collected blood. Using inputs from users and historical financial data, the DSS calculates the cost per unit as each of the major variables is altered. Real life situations by the mobile operations team at a blood collection facility were used to test the DSS.

Blood Bank is regulated under the Drug and the Cosmetic Act 1940 and the SCH.F. pt. XII-BL Records a complete and a meticulous records have to be maintained. Which include iner alia the following particulars namely. of A.C.D./C.P.D./CPD-A/SAGM bags Register for diagnostic kits and reagents used records, Records for purchase, use and stock in hand off use. To efficiently handle the emergency and flawless routine working the blood bank has to maintain a number of internal records within each lab. To maintain so much of records correctly is an dedicated technician and still leaving a possibility of human error. Even a slightest mistake can cost to the life of a patient, depletion of rare blood from the stocks, which may create havoc in the emergency, and blood bei without being used. All these reasons make the records keeping a very important task in the blood bank. This create a need for computerization of the blood bank and developing software so that the entries made at one desk are...

Chaturanga Wijayanayaka

2025

Service that provides quality assured blood bank service. However, the information flow is inefficient and less utilized for evidence-based decision-making. The statistics unit of National Blood Centre is unable to produce Annual Statistics Report timely due to the difficulty in analysing and making reports manually utilizing the considerable amount of data collected throughout the year. To address this, an electronic Health Information Management System was proposed as a solution for the inefficiency of the data flow for statistical purposes. A Monthly Statistics Reporting System was designed and developed using DHIS2, which is a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) to fulfil the requirements of the National Blood Transfusion Service. To evaluate the new system, a qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews amongst a selected study population of 17 participants within the NBC Cluster, which includes 11 blood banks in Colombo area. The gathered data was analysed using a thematic analysis techniques and the emerging categories and themes were used in the subsequent discussions. Problems of calculation, usability, reliability, utilization of data and availability of reports were identified in the paperbased system. Results shows that the new electronic system has high usefulness, ease of use, ease of learn, satisfaction and cost effectiveness with accepted enhanced features of the interface. According to the interviews, participants expressed that the likelihood of using this system in the future is high. Almost all the participants in this research readily accepted new electronic information management system. Therefore, it will assure the sustainability of the new system. Because of the real time updated dashboard, it will help most of the blood bank functions by facilitating administrative decision-making efficiently.

A Systematic Review on Blood Bank Information Systems
IJRASET Publication

International Journal for Research in Applied Science & Engineering Technology (IJRASET), 2023

Blood is a vital fluid. It transports oxygen and nutrients to cells. Human beings cannot live without blood. However, people may lose this valuable fluid at the time of accidents, pregnancies, or surgeries. So, blood is needed to transfuse to those people safely and quickly as latency in blood transfusion may lead to the death of that individual. Based on this, many systems were developed by different authors to help people in obtaining the required blood promptly. But all these developed systems solved this problem to some extent but they have their own merits and demerits. This paper is a review of those systems where different techniques and algorithms used by different authors in their proposed systems are discussed and compared. These systems uses either android application or GPS to track the donor's location. Blood donations and transfusions have become an increasingly serious problem, leading to blood shortages worldwide many people lose their lives. A major cause of these losses is the lack of a centralized blood donation system.

Blood Bank Management Information System
ahmed nufais, fanon ananda

As the cost of creation, processing and distribution of information continues to decrease, there has been increased penetration of technology based applications in the various sectors of the economy and the health sector has not been left behind. Computer based applications in the Kenyan health sector range from simple records management to the provision of electronic health and mobile based health services commonly referred to as e-health and m-health respectively. This paper focuses on the relevance of web based technologies in managing blood bank information with an aim to improve efficiency in this crucial process which has proven challenging in the past since the inception of Kenya National Blood Transfusion Services over a decade ago. Taking the republic of Kenya as a case study the research findings indicated that the blood bank sector lacked coordination since each blood bank kept independent records, which were not coordinated with other banks. The paper discusses development and deployment of a system that achieves coordination of activities between the blood banks, health centers and donors having them interact with a central database.
