    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Blood Transfusion Services
    • Information Systems

    Background:

    • Blood donation centers rely on efficient donor management.
    • Manual donor registration and screening can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
    • Integrating technology can streamline blood collection processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate an initial phase of a computerized on-line donor processing system.
    • To assess the system's capability for donor registration and screening.
    • To validate the usability of the system by nontechnical personnel.

    Main Methods:

    • The computerized donor processing system was developed and implemented in parallel with existing manual operations.
    • The system was demonstrated at the American National Red Cross, Washington Regional Donor Center and bloodmobile operations.
