Abstract

Introduction: transfusion services along with the processing and analysis of blood components, reception of transfusion requests, blood transfusions, registration of transfusion reactions and the follow-up of transfused patients at Abel Santamaría Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital generate a large volume of information every day. Computerization will allow: optimizing the use of blood units, improved the monitoring of transfused patients speeding-up the decision-making process as well.

Objective: to develop a programming tool and an associated database to contribute to the information management process related to blood transfusions at Abel Santamaría Cuadrado, General Teaching Hospital in Pinar del Río province.

Method: this is a Technological Innovation Research on the transfusion management process in a chosen hospital of Pinar del Río, applying theoretical methods such as historical-logical and analysis of the documents related to this process, Extreme Programming has been used as a development methodology and the specifications of the Unified Modeling Language for web engineering.

Results: the web application allows the management of information associated with blood transfusions in the hospital, enabling the organization and centralization of the corresponding information in a database operated and controlled by the service providers themselves.
Conclusions: the basis for the computerization of blood-transfusion management process in a hospital unit facilitates the procedure and the therapeutic decision making, giving information in real time promptly and effectively
