The Regulated Software Application (RSA) is a system of co-dependent web based computer programs, used to manage and support all aspects of their blood banking processes. This system encapsulates the data access and business rules necessary for enabling blood collections, manufacturing, labeling, and distribution management efforts. Additionally, certain modules have associated administration function that creates traceability and accountability for every step of the blood banking process. The system utilizes technology standards that provide the robustness necessary for supporting web-enabled applications that interface with disparate systems. The application has been developed in a modular format.
An application software program, routines, and/or algorithms intended to be used as or in an information system to electronically receive, collect, store, manage, assist in analysis of, display, output, and distribute administrative and clinical data within blood-bank centres. It accumulates data on blood-donor status and may include algorithms to process blood-bank information. It may perform additional tasks such as autologous and direct unit tracking, cross-match result determination, and/or management of bar-code information and patient history reports. It is typically supplied for installation into a blood bank information system, or mainframe or decentralized computers/networks.
