Blood360
Maintaining the highest standards of patient safety is a constant issue for all healthcare providers, none more so than the issues relating to any situations that call upon the need for a blood transfusion and the clinical management of blood products.
A key factor for patient safety within blood transfusion is the integrity of the blood stock supply, from entering blood stock refrigerators to patient bedsides, with the duty of care lying with the healthcare provider.
The biggest contributor to errors in Blood Transfusions have been linked to human factors withdrawing the wrong blood from the refrigerators and not maintaining up to date patient observations records, and this is why Blood360 has been developed - in consultation with healthcare professionals for healthcare professionals. The Blood360 system deals with the fundamental requirements of blood tracking and guarantees the integrity and security of clinical Blood products entering a healthcare provider’s premise.
