MEDITECH's Blood Bank Software is a Blood Establishment Computer System (BECS) that tightly integrates donor, unit and patient history information with data in the Electronic Health Record (EHR). The software's significant performance characteristics are flagging abnormal test results, reporting test and transfusion results, minimizing product waste, utilizing expert rules when recording and performing error checks. It also generates turnaround time and workload statistics, compiles statistical reports, and automatically captures charges.
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.
