Blood Bank Case Study

2290 Words10 Pages

2.1: Study of current system
The current system consists of manually carrying out all the tasks such as
: telephonic communications regarding need of blood,
: searching the blood from storage,
: retrieving the required blood group,
: performing necessary documentations and
: delivering the blood.
This raises the cost and time required to a considerable extent. Moreover, the efficiency is reduced .
Sometimes, due to technical errors the blood delivered may be unhealthy but still it is given to the patient in need causing altogether more complications.
The manual transmission might prove in vain if the blood group isn’t available at the blood bank. It wastes the passing time to a greater extent as after the end of checking the availability, …show more content…

There is no information regarding the blood donation programs available on any of the portal.
: The current system that is using by the blood bank is manual system. With the manual system, there are problems in managing the donors' records. The records of the donor might not be kept safely and there might be missing of donor's records due to human error or disasters.
: Besides that, errors might occur when the staff keeps more than one record for the same donor. There is no centralized database of volunteer donors. So, it becomes really tedious for a person to search blood in case of emergency. The only option is to manually search and match donors and then make phone calls to every donor.

If a donor makes donation in different hospital, no previous records can be traced except if the donor brings along the donation certificate. Hence, the donor is considered to be a first-timer if they make blood donation in a new …show more content…

In this society they “get these cases nine or ten a night.” (Bradbury, 13), meaning the calls are regularly about someone overdosing. Therefore “this machine pumped all of the blood from the body and replaced it with fresh blood and serum.” (Bradbury 12) because “you take out the old and put in the new and you're okay.”

If they are left lying around someone else it can pass on symptoms if they someone who used it before had diabetes or maybe even HIV, it can even cause an infection. This is a health hazard.

    By installing a pneumatic delivery system, the hospital system could have the licensed caregivers focus more time on providing excellent care to our patients. There are some noted concerns that using a pneumatic tube system for laboratory specimen delivery may increase the risk of hemolysis in a blood sample (Lima-Oliveira et al., 2014). However, this risk of hemolysis does not pose a substantial harm to patients and is clinically insignificant in the vast majority of cases. This is particularly true in the case of the Alvin C. York Medical Center as the units that would utilize the pneumatic tube system are units that do not serve patients with acute medical conditions. The delay that currently exists due to the extended length of time it takes to transport a specimen from one side of the campus to the other is likely more of a detriment to patient care as the risk of hemolysis from rapid
