Please do not laugh. After recently being shot down by finance for my bugeted proposal WYdgate system, my pathologist would like ME to BUILD a blood bank system on an excell or access frame. He is dead serious. After almost laughing in his face, and explaining the vast compexities that have to do with Blood Bank computer systems, he is still relentless. While I am flattered to know he thinks I am that smart, I need to get him some heavy duty CBEr, FDA, regulations, links,......ANYTHING. to explain what these system involve. ANd that this home grown idea is just not a reality. ANy idea would be greatly appreciated Right now we are still usualy manual record, logs, carbon paper, etc. and while this old fashion method is slow and tedious, I am truly afraid of what his imaginary:eek: Blood Bank system may look like.
