A standard compliant Blood Bank Management System with enforcing mechanism

Blood is a non-replenishable entity, the only source of which are humans. Timely availability of quality blood is a crucial requirement for sustaining the healthcare services. Therefore, maintaining quality of blood and identification of Professional Donors is a major responsibility of blood banks. NACO (National AIDS Control Organization) and NABH (National Accreditation Board for hospitals and Healthcare Providers) have provided guidelines for ensuring the quality of blood and identifying Professional Donors. Moreover, manually monitoring standards and identifying professional donors is a challenging job. In this work, we develop a standard compliant Blood Bank Management System with a novel rule based enforcing mechanism. The developed system is an end-to-end solution for not only managing but implementing enforcing strategies and providing decision support to the users. The proposed Blood Bank Management System has been implemented across 28 blood banks and a major hospital. It has been found extremely effective in streamlining the workflow of blood banks.
