metaSOFT Blood Bank Management covers the complete blood product lifecycle — donor screening and deferral, component preparation, electronic cross-matching, issue and bedside barcode verification — with full traceability from donor to recipient and haemovigilance reporting built in.
Every blood unit is tracked from donor through component preparation to patient transfusion; look-back queries for a recalled lot or donor return every affected patient in seconds.
Donor health history questionnaire, deferral registry lookup and infectious disease testing results managed in one workflow; no donor is collected from without a documented clearance.
Whole blood, packed red cells, platelets, FFP and cryoprecipitate preparation records with volume, storage conditions, expiry and sterility test result per bag.
Electronic cross-match validation, ABO/Rh confirmation, patient wristband barcode scan and two-person verification are enforced before any unit is transfused; the system will not allow an incompatible unit to be issued.
Real-time component stock by group and type, expiry alerts per bag, inter-ward transfer workflow and wastage tracking by reason — so no unit expires unused and no patient waits for an avoidable shortage.
The cross-match request is triggered from the physician's CPOE order; the compatibility result and unit issue are posted to the patient's clinical record automatically.
Blood Bank is fully integrated with the HMS clinical modules. Transfusion requests arrive from the physician's CPOE workstation in the ward or operating room — no telephone request, no paper blood bank request form. The cross-match result and the issued unit number are written directly to the patient's EMR. When a transfusion reaction occurs, the reporting form in the Blood Bank module links automatically to the patient's clinical record and triggers the haemovigilance notification.
On the inventory side, Blood Bank is connected to the procurement module of the ERP. When stock of a rare blood group component falls below the minimum level, a purchase request is generated and routed to the procurement team. The ERP records the cost of issued units and posts them to the relevant GL account and cost centre — providing blood-product cost visibility by department, ward and physician.
