Abstract:
This paper desires to explore the role of barcode technology in blood bank information systems via addressing its upgrade and the consequent impact. Firstly, it briefs the application and effect of barcode technology in blood donation and transfusion service. In the second, the barcode paradigms of Macau Codabar and ISBT 128 are carefully examined and compared in accordance with the procedure and specifications of barcode upgrade. Then, the impact due to upgrade is assessed from the perspectives of blood bank information system, blood banks, and even blood donation and transfusion service. It finally discusses the considerations on implementing the upgrade of barcode technology in blood bank information systems.
