Computerized Central Blood Bank Management System

Abstract

Blood is a vital constituent in human body that is indispensable for human life, it supplies nutrient and oxygen to all body cells, because of this essential role, blood bank was introduce in this research to help in collecting, separating and storing blood by using computerized information system to organized and maintain information about donors, and blood groups. Manual systems as compared to computerized systems are time consuming and costly, in addition to human errors. A computerized central blood bank management system was developed to assist in managing donor records, monitoring blood screening and storing, moreover provide secure medical reports to improve medical service delivery. The system was designed and implemented as web-based using MySQL data base , PHP programming languages and bar-code technique. The outcome was obtained as screens that made the recording process of donor‟s data and blood easer so as to ensure the efficiency of transfusion process. The system was tested in the National Blood Transfusion Center NBTC of Khartoum- Sudan, it contributed to solve errors of manual system, time-consuming and retrieve data, as well as met users‟ acceptance.
