ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To evaluate the influence of establishing " blood station-hospital" information management system, based on the concept of Internet, on blood supply and use. 【Methods】 Blood information management system was established in our blood station, and connected to 21 secondary and above hospitals with blood storage function in Maoming to achieve interconnection and timely observation and recording of blood collection, supply and use. The working intensity, blood appointment, incidence of adverse reactions of clinical blood transfusion and satisfaction rate of clinical blood consumption before (April 2017 to March 2018) and after (April 2018 to March 2019) the application of the blood station-hospital information system were compared. 【Results】 In the same period before and after the implementation of blood station-hospital information system, the blood volume (U) collected was 78 249 vs 87 044.5, and the total blood supplied (U) was 225 276.5 vs 249 303, with growth rates at 11.24% and 10.67%, respectively; The average daily working intensity (s) of blood supply staff was 68.68±4.13 vs 41.71±3.76 (P<0.01), and average daily area (m2) was 9.82±3.51 vs 3.31±3.49 (P<0.05). The appointment time of clinical blood by telephone (s) was 110.34±6.79 vs 56.38±4.18 (P< 0.01), by network was 28.55±2.27 vs 13.48±2.76 (P<0.01); The incidence of transfusion adverse reactions was 0.035% (11/31 250) vs 0.012% (5/42 314) P<0.05); The satisfaction rates of clinical blood consumption were 85.71% (18/21) vs 100% (21/21) (P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 The implementation of blood station-hospital information system improved the efficiency of blood collection and supply in blood stations, and reduced the work intensity of blood supply staff. It is beneficial to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions of clinical blood transfusion and improve the satisfaction rate of blood consumption.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Electronic Donor Health Questionnaire (e-DHQ) could prevent omissions in filling in the questionnaire. Compared with the paper Donor Health Questionnaire (p-DHQ), it can expect honest answers from donors to the questions relating to high risk behaviors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of e-DHQ on the answers from donors by analyzing variations of the reasons for deferral after the introduction of e-DHQ to the Korean Red Cross (KRC). METHODS: The reasons for deferral determined by p-DHQ in 2008~2011 and by e-DHQ in 2011~2014, which have been accumulated in the database of the Blood Information Management System in KRC, were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: The results showed that the deferral rates for the general health status and medication taken were 0.47% (P=0.0100) and 0.16% (P=0.0103) higher in e-DHQ than in p-DHQ. In particular, for questions including hunger, lack of sleep, fatigue, endoscopy, dental treatment, surgery, tattoo, and acupuncture, the proportion of answers was higher in e-DHQ than in p-DHQ. CONCLUSION: The deferral rates for general health status and medication taken increased after the implementation of e-DHQ. The rate of deferral by some details of general health status, medical treatment for recent one month, and history for recent one year also increased because e-DHQ induced donors to give straightforward answers. e-DHQ is expected to contribute to the strengthening of health protection of blood donors and recipients. However the questions relating to high risk behaviors should be reformed so that honest answers can be induced from donors.
