Area of Science:

Transfusion Medicine
Health Informatics

Background:

Blood transfusions carry risks, necessitating careful monitoring.
Effective utilization of blood products is crucial for patient safety.
Interpreting data from laboratory information systems (LIS) for utilization can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a user-friendly tool for visualizing blood product utilization data.
To enhance the interpretability of data from laboratory information systems for transfusion safety.

Main Methods:

An Electron-based application named BBDash was developed.
The tool processes reports generated by Sunquest Laboratory system.
BBDash generates easily understandable graphs illustrating blood product usage patterns.

Main Results:

BBDash provides a simplified graphical representation of blood product utilization.
The tool facilitates quicker and more intuitive data interpretation compared to raw reports.
This visualization aids in monitoring and ensuring appropriate blood product use.

Conclusions:

BBDash offers an effective solution for the challenges in interpreting LIS data for blood product utilization.
The tool can support enhanced patient safety through improved monitoring of blood product orders and usage.
Visualizing transfusion data promotes better understanding and potentially optimizes blood bank resource management.
