ABSTRACT :
The purpose of this study was to develop a blood management information system following Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and keeping into account the rules of Project Management. The purpose of the system is to assist in the management of blood donor records and ease/or control the distribution of blood in various parts of the country basing on the hospital demands.
The blood management information system offers functionalities to quick access to available donor records. It enables monitoring of the statistics and performance of the blood donation activity such that relevant and quantifiable objectives of the organization can be checked.
It provides to management timely, confidential and secure information about blood donation and consumption that facilitates planning and decision making and hence improved medical service delivery. The reports generated by the system give answers to most of the challenges management may have to face as far as blood donor record is concerned.
