LIS for Blood Banking Reference Laboratory

[E.Hopkins]

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good blood bank software system that would be good for a blood center reference laboratory? We have several different locations of reference labs who often share patients. However, we don't have a good LIS that supports patients so we cannot perform patient history checks effectively. Also, we are a transfusion service providing testing and crossmatching for a couple of facilities and would like to take the current manual process and automate it allowing printed crossmatch tags for the units.

Thanks for your help!

We are also a multi-site Ref Lab and transfusion service. We have used Mediware since 1998 and it very effectively suits our setting. It is very configurable according to your needs. We started with hemocare and the current product if HCLL. If we do a patient search, it displays all pts who meet the search criteria. If that pt is not "admitted" to your location, you click "register" and the information is pre-populated. You are able to see antibodies, instructions, antigen profile at the time of the search.
