The rapid advancement of information technology and the imperative for comprehensive digital transformation within the healthcare sector highlight the critical need for efficient and accurate processes, especially in specialized fields like blood banking. This paper presents the successful implementation of an online blood product registration platform at the Blood Bank – Blood Transfusion Hematology Hospital (BTH) since April 2020. This initiative addresses the inherent limitations of traditional registration methods, such as phone calls and paper forms, which are prone to errors and delays. The project underscores the pivotal role of information technology in enhancing healthcare service delivery.

This study details the development and implementation of an online blood product registration platform (dangkymau.bth.org.vn) at the Blood Bank – Blood Transfusion Hematology Hospital (BTH), marking a significant step towards digital transformation in healthcare. Historically, blood product requests relied on inefficient phone and paper-based methods, leading to delays and potential errors. The newly adopted online system has streamlined the entire registration process, substantially reducing order intake time from 10 minutes to merely 5-6 minutes per request. Furthermore, it has minimized human errors, fostered improved data management, and enabled accurate, transparent, and timely reporting and statistics crucial for effective blood inventory control. This approach represents a model for digital healthcare by creating a more robust and responsive system for critical medical supplies. Looking ahead, BTH plans to further develop this software to integrate with existing blood inventory management systems across all blood-using facilities, aspiring to establish a comprehensive city-wide monitoring tool for blood usage and stock levels, aligning with broader strategic goals for a smart healthcare system. This demonstrates the profound impact of information technology on optimizing operational efficiency and patient safety within a blood bank context.
