Summary
Zhejiang Province upgraded its blood product information system using ISBT 128 standards. This improved data sharing and ensured safe, rapid blood product exchange between agencies.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical informatics
- Health information systems
- Blood transfusion services
Background:
- Previous information system lacked unique identification for blood products, causing data overlap and complex manual label changes during inter-agency transfers.
- The SARS outbreak highlighted the critical need for a robust and standardized blood product tracking system.
Purpose of the Study:
- To redevelop the blood product information system in Zhejiang Province using the international standard ISBT 128.
- To enhance the safety, efficiency, and data integrity of blood product management and exchange.
Main Methods:
- Registered with ICCBBA (International Council for Commonality in Blood Banking Automation) to obtain technical documentation and database.
- Requested new product description codes and adapted ISBT 128 to national standards, redesigning the information system and labels.
- Validated system compatibility with related equipment and the laboratory information system.
Main Results:
- Successfully developed and implemented the ISBT 128-based information system by the end of 2005.
- Enabled seamless sharing of blood product information across all Zhejiang Province blood collection agencies.
- Facilitated safe, rapid exchange of blood products, receiving commendation from the Ministry of Health.
Conclusions:
- The implementation of ISBT 128 in Zhejiang Province significantly improved blood product management.
- The new system addressed previous limitations, ensuring standardized and efficient blood product information exchange.
