    A new real-time transfusion service system integrated with LABCOM significantly reduced manual work. This automated system improved blood inventory management and workload tracking, with excellent user acceptance.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Laboratory Science
    • Health Informatics
    • Blood Transfusion Services

    Background:

    • Manual clerical operations in transfusion services are time-consuming.
    • Existing laboratory computing systems offer potential for integration with specialized services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement and evaluate an on-line, real-time system for recording transfusion service activities.
    • To assess the impact of automation on manual clerical operations and workload management.

    Main Methods:

    • Integration of new programs into an existing LABCOM general laboratory computing system.
    • Real-time monitoring of blood inventory, crossmatches, units issued, and disposition.
    • Automated generation of patient records, billing, and workload tallies.

    Main Results:

    • Significant reduction in manual clerical operations, from 12-14 man-hours per day to eight or less.
    • Successful monitoring of blood inventory, crossmatches, units issued, and final disposition.
    • Excellent acceptance of the new system by medical technologists.

    Conclusions:

    • On-line, real-time systems can effectively automate transfusion service activities.
    • Automation leads to substantial reductions in manual labor and improved efficiency.
    • Technological integration into laboratory systems is well-received by staff.
