General Info
The main objective of e-AIMA is the
administration and management of a blood transfusion centers' daily workload
with the use of barcode technology, while reorganizing and automating the daily
procedures by including all used diagnostic machines under one unified software
platform.
The software design allows multiple users having
different access rights to the modules of the software, and provides the ability
to log and monitor all actions. The system is composed by a computer network
which is spread throughout the transfusion center's departments, and has the
ability to connect and communicate with an HIS or LIS at real time. Furthermore
the system contains modules that can be used by clinics which can help to
minimize the points of transfusion ordering and sample
collection.
e-AIMA manages the clinical and personal records of
recipients and donors. Automates the blood collection procedure, the blood
transfusion ordering and blood trasnportation, and the cover requests of other
centers. It manages the workflow of the immunology department, the blood sample
cross match department and the ABO testing department. Moreover it sets aside
the need to maintain books of daily performed tasks such as blood
circulation, daily blood stock, daily tranfusion requests, and daily
hospital to hospital pendencies.
e-AIMA supports:
blood collection organization
donor, recipient record management
blood component production and
management
transfusion, transportation of blood
components
patient to donor sample crossmatch management
campains, clubs management
patient's, donor's, hospital's cover record management
biological, ABO validation
blood expiration, disposal
blood inventory management
Information management becomes an easy
task to perform with minimal risks. The time required as well
as the checks needed to be re-performed during transfusion are dramatically reduced
by using internal system quality control routines. Several reports and statistic
analysis help the administrators to manage the entire department.
Full utilization of barcode technology eliminates possible sample mis-identification and
blood trsansfusion errors which can be caused by a failure to detect that
an incorrect unit of blood has been issued. Barcode labels are
attached onto every blood sample. The system also aprovides the ability to
produce and utilize special barcode labels based on the ISBT 128
standard which will be attached on the blood bugs. |
