Blood Bank Software

About Blood Bank Software

Blood bank software is the system of record for a licensed blood centre: it holds the donor, the bag, the tests run against it, the components separated from it and the patient it was finally issued to, and it has to be able to reconstruct that chain years later because the Drugs and Cosmetics Act rules require the records to be retained and produced on demand. That is the part that distinguishes it from a general hospital information system with a blood bank tab.

The decision most centres are actually making is not which features to buy. It is whether the software will enforce the rules or merely record them. A system that lets a technician issue an untested unit, or edit a TTI result without leaving a trace, will pass a demo and fail an assessment. The posts here deal with that distinction, with what a usable counter screen looks like when the queue is twelve donors long, and with the questions worth asking in a demo.
