Manages all information of blood banks
Blood Bank Information System 'e-AIMA'
Blood Bank Information System ‘e-AIMA’ supports all the operational needs of blood banks. ‘e-AIMA’ manages all information related to every aspect of blood banks. The support includes all the labs procedures like donor record administration, management of haematology and immunology test, component management, cross matching, blood issue, patient management, requests for blood, inventory and finally transfusion.
Overview
Blood Bank Information System ‘e-AIMA’ is a full featured application with enhanced customization capabilities. It allows a flexible and rapid system implementation at any blood bank. ‘e-AIMA’ utilizes features such as barcode technology and connectivity to diagnostic devices. So, the system organizes and automates the blood bank procedures providing the maximum safety and security control points. Being well-designed and implemented blood bank information system, tailored toward the specific workflows of a blood bank – blood transfusion division of a Hospital, will enable increased efficiency, regulatory compliance, and a complete report on blood products. In addition the system that is integrated with laboratory instruments allows for automated processes and a reduction in errors associated with manual data entry.

'Patient Safety' Eliminates transfusion errors
‘Patient Safety’ makes patients’ transfusions safer by reducing the possibility of errors. It manages all transfusions at the OR and facilitates best practices. It reduces errors, improves quality of care, streamlines clinical workflows and delivers potential cost savings. Based on the cross-matching results, the ‘Patient Safety’ module is able to validate the right blood bag for the right patient.
Step 1 : Scan blood bag’s barcode using your mobile phone
Step 2 : Scan the patient’s id wristband.

Improving Quality Everywhere
Our safety software delivers easy to interpret, highly actionable reports to help continuous quality improvement efforts, by rich information helping complex decisions making.
- Assess transfusion practices in your hospital.
- Focus on clinician utilization and compliance.
- Find out practices that can be streamlined.
- Identify management issues that can be altered to save costs.
EMR Integration through ‘Patient Safety’.
Eliminating errors is the fundamental goal of all health professionals in the Hospital environment. Through the ‘Patient Safety’ software platform, our solution brings this to the forefront. Blood Bank Information System ‘e-AIMA’ provides direct connection with the blood orders and the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR). As a result the clinical integration solution connects the laboratory validated blood components to the receiver patient. In addition it streamlines the workflow and helps the improvement of patient safety while providing measurable financial benefits. In order to achieve an advanced Transfusion Safety, the corresponding software module utilizes internal checks to:
- Create color-coded flags that signal information which should be reviewed.
- Display notifications when information is incorrect.
- Ensure users cannot proceed if the information is missing.
- Help prevent transfusing the wrong product with product safety checks.
- Automated safety checks stop users from moving to the next screen until the risk is resolved.
‘e-AIMA’ is supported by IT engineers, with an extensive expertise and in-depth knowledge of medical informatics. This guarantees unrivalled implementation, training and technical assistance services.
