ii) Literature Review:-

Blood management systems are critical tools for managing the collection, processing, storage,
and distribution of blood products. They can help improve patient outcomes by reducing the risk
of transfusion-related adverse events, optimizing blood utilization, and minimizing the cost of
blood products. In this literature review, we will examine the key findings from recent studies on
blood management system.

1) Implementation and adoption of blood management systems: A survey of 150 hospitals in

the United States found that while the majority of hospitals have implemented blood
management systems, many are still struggling with adoption and utilization. The study
identified several barriers to adoption, including lack of resources, training, and
leadership support.

2) Customization of blood management systems: A study of a large academic medical

center found that customization of blood management systems can improve efficiency,
reduce waste, and optimize blood utilization. The study highlighted the importance of
involving frontline staff in the customization process and using data-driven decision-
making to identify areas for improvement.
3) Role of blood management systems in patient blood management: A review of patient
blood management (PBM) programs found that blood management systems are a critical
component of PBM, providing the tools and data needed to implement evidence-based
 lOMoARcPSD|306 361 77

transfusion practices. The study emphasized the need for collaboration between blood
banks, clinicians, and hospital administrators in the development and implementation of
PBM programs.

4) Integration of blood management systems with electronic health records (EHRs): A study
of a large healthcare system found that integration of blood management systems with
EHRs can improve data accuracy, reduce documentation errors, and enhance
communication between blood banks and clinicians. The study recommended that blood
5) management systems be designed with EHR integration in mind and that healthcare
organizations prioritize EHR integration in their blood management system
implementation.

iii) Requirement Analysis:-

The blood bank management system, the following are some of the requirements that need to be
considered:

1) User requirements: The system must be user-friendly and easy to use for all types of users,
including blood bank staff, donors, and recipients.

2) Functional requirements: The system should be able to handle various blood bank activities,
such as blood donation, blood testing, blood storage, and blood distribution.

3) Security requirements: The system should have adequate security measures to prevent
unauthorized access to sensitive information, such as donor and recipient data, blood inventory,
and financial records.

4) Performance requirements: The system should be able to handle a large volume of

transactions simultaneously and be scalable to meet future demands.

5) Maintenance and support requirements: The system should have adequate documentation,
training, and technical support to ensure its smooth operation and maintenan
