1. Executive Summary 1.1
Title of the Project Blood Bank Management System
1.2
Project Objective To develop a blood bank management system to facilitate the co-ordination between supply and demand of blood. This system makes conveniently available good quality, safe blood and other blood components, which can be provided in a sound, ethical and acceptable manner, consistent with the long-term wellbeing of the community. It actively encourage voluntary blood donation, motivate and maintain a wellindexed record of blood donors and educate the community on the benefits of blood donation. This will also serve as the site for interaction of best practices in reducing unnecessary utilization of blood and help the state work more efficiently towards self-sufficiency in blood. Blood Bank Management System, this system bridges the gap between the demand and supply of blood. This portal aims to bring blood donors and recipients under a common on-line platform. Donors can register themselves on the site after going through the basic requirements for donating blood. This portal also has useful information regarding blood donation such as scientific information, tips and facts.
2. The Problem 2.1 Problem statement
Every year our nation requires about 4 Crore units of blood, out of which only a meager 5 Lakh units of blood are available. It is not that, people do not want to donate blood. Often they are unaware of the need and also they do not have a proper facility to enquire about
it. As a result, needy people end up going through a lot of pain. India has many blood banks, all-functioning in a decentralized fashion. In the current system, individual hospitals have their own blood banks and there is no interaction between blood banks. The management is ad-hoc with no semblance of organization or standard operating procedures. Donors cannot access blood from blood banks other than the bank where they have donated blood.
2.2
Present System All the blood banks are attached to hospitals and there is no stand-alone blood bank. As each hospital has its own systems and limitations, the co-ordination between the blood banks is practically impossible. Because of low number of donors and more number of blood banks, the efficiency and quality of blood banks are low, resulting in wastage of blood and blood components. The challenges in the present system are: i. ii. iii.
2.3
Some of the hospitals are having individual blood banks Some of the hospitals are not having blood banks Donors do not have any record of their donations or information related to their blood diseases
Proposed System An efficient blood bank management system should be developed, with the aim of ensuring that every patient has access to an adequate quantity of safe blood in a centralized manner. The management system should solve the issue of demand and wastage and lead to self-sufficiency in blood requirement. This should encourage new donors and retain old donors to donate blood.
3. Our Approach to solve the problem Donors in Community
Blood Banks
Community Blood Bank
Hospitals
Donors
The approach to the current problem will have to consider the issues related to blood banks and donors. Management System for all the activities 1. Donors can register and will get a membership card 2. Status of blood available in the community blood bank can be viewed
3. Provides tips and information on blood donation Database for donors, blood banks-health care providers Database for the supply and demand of blood and blood components Security Confidentiality Service based access to blood donors, doctors, lab technicians
4. Project Deliverables i.

iv.
To establish an autonomous community blood banking system with the active participation of non-remunerated voluntary blood donors, registered as a society. To establish a community blood bank (CBB) that will function as blood storage unit, component separation unit and transfusion services co-ordination center according to the national quality standards. To develop a computerized supply chain management and distribution system (DS) to collect and distribute blood from the CBB to the hospitals. To develop a web based blood services portal for awareness generation and facilitate coordination
