Technological advancements dramatically change the way how every industry and institution operates. Almost every sector has transitioned to the use of different technologies in operating business and rendering their service to the public. The usage of technology helps different sectors further improve their operations and transactions.
A Blood bank is a center where supplies of blood used for blood transfusions are stored and preserved. Blood banks manage supplies of blood, blood requests from patients, and records of blood donors and recipients. Blood bank centers need an effective system to help them manage daily operations and transactions in the center.
The capstone project entitled, “Blood Bank Management System” is designed to simplify and automate the process of searching for blood in case of emergency, maintain the records of blood requests, blood donors, recipients, blood donation programs, and blood stocks in the bank.
The development of the system will eliminate the manual methods used in managing blood bank centers. The blood bank centers can utilize the system to digitally transform their operations. The blood bank can manage records of blood stocks, blood requests, blood donations, blood donors, and recipients all in one place. Blood recipients or patients and blood donors can also utilize the system to process blood requests and blood donations, respectively.
Introduction
The capstone project, entitled “Blood Bank Management System” is intended for blood bank centers. The said project will simplify and automate the process of searching for blood in case of emergency, maintain the records of blood requests, blood donors, recipients, blood donation programs, and blood stocks in the bank.
A Blood Bank is a center where supplies of blood used for blood transfusions are stored and preserved. Blood banks deal with the volume of paper works and records every day concerning blood-related transactions. Blood banks record blood stocks, blood requests, blood donations, blood donors, and recipients which is when done manually requires them rigorous work and consumes valuable time. Managing blood bank centers manually can impede the services and response time the center provides to its clients. There is an intensified need to upgrade the system used in managing blood banks and transform the way they operate and render their services to the public.
Proposed Solution
In conjunction with the above-mentioned concerns, the researchers proposed the Blood Bank Management System. The said project is designed to ease up and simplify management processes and operations of blood bank centers. The system will allow blood banks to digitally transform their operations. The blood bank can manage records of blood stocks, blood requests, blood donations, blood donors, and recipients all in one place. Blood recipients or patients can also electronically search for blood and send blood requests to the blood banks. Blood donors also can electronically process their blood donation requirements and papers. The system is an all-in-one platform that will simplify and ease up the overall operations and management processes of the blood bank.
