Blood Centers is a comprehensive, modular, computerized system intended to be used by trained personnel as a tool in the management of data processes performed by staff at blood centers and high-volume testing services. User access to individual modules is controlled through defined access levels. Individual staff may be actively engaged in functions that encompass the following: • Dynamic donor eligibility status • Register, track, and audit donations and deferrals • On-line health history, physical findings, and collection process • Inter-active donor questionnaire (staff and/or donor/remote donor) • HLA/RBC search and match Donor schedules • Component production and modification • Testing • Labeling • Imported Blood Processing • Inventory Management • Distribution • Material Check-In • Offline Data Entry (Re-entry if downtime) • Blood Centers is usable with wired/wireless networks supporting TCP/IP protocols
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.
