ABSTRACT

Blood transfusion safety is a relevant and significant public health issue in the Sultanate
of Oman. Sincemost blood banks are still in paper-based system, various disadvantages
are experienced by various stakeholders, which endanger the lives of patients and deter
the healthcare system. As such, the researchers aimed to design, develop, and implement
an online blood bank management system(OBBMS). This web-based application allows
hospitals in Oman to make inventories of their blood bagsonline, subsequently, allowing
each hospital to check the availability of blood bags anytime. The researchers designed
and administered a questionnaire that assess the perceptions of various stakeholders in
both manual-based and OBBMS. Based on the findings and results, it was found out that
these stakeholders perceived online blood bank management system is much better than
the manual system. Therefore, with the use of online blood bank management system,
blood transfusion process is safe and secured. Threats on improper blood donor
documentation, or misplaced records will be totallyeradicated. Also, processes involving
recording about blood donors, blood bag collection, storage, and inventory will be
systematized and organized, hence, improving the healthcare management for blood
banks.

Red Cross Connect 21BEIT54020

1.1-Background of study
Most blood banks are still running manual system in its processes. As such, there
is a lack of efficiency because it is still paper-based in collecting information about donors,
inventories of blood bags, and blood transfusion services. The lack of proper
documentation may endanger patients’ health due to the possibility of having contaminate
blood bags. Contamination happened when there is an incomplete donors’ medical history
record and the blood bags’ shelf life is not monitored properly. Hence, a web-based blood
bank management system might be needed to address these issues and problems
encountered to ensure blood transfusion safety.

1.2-Problem statement

Despite advances in technology, nowadays, most blood bank systems are running in
manual system. As such, there is a prevalent problem in the availability of needed blood
types. For instance, when a person needs a certain type of blood and this type is not
available in the hospital, family members send messages through social media to those
who can donate to them and this process takes longer than the life of the patient to the most
dangerous. In addition, it seems that there is lack of proper documentation about blood
donors and its medical history. This may lead to blood bag contamination and may affect
the blood transfusion safety. Generally, this study aims to determine how the use of online
bank management system enhance blood transfusion safety. Subsequently, this study seeks
to answer the following specific problems:
1. what is the level of perception among blood bank’s stakeholders on manual-based
system?
2. what is the level of perception among blood bank’s stakeholders on online blood bank
management system?
3. Is there no significant difference in the level of perception among stakeholders between
manual-based and online-based blood bank system?

1.3- Objective(s), Scope and Limitations

1.3.1-Objective
This applied research aims to design, develop and implement online blood bank
management system. This web-based application provides:

 To ensure hospital to have good supply or inventories of blood bags.

 To check the availability of blood bags anytime.
 To manage the information of its blood donor.
 Function to check if the person donate blood for the last 3 months.
 To allow good documentation about the donor and its blood donation activities.
 Support fast searching to find match blood bags for the right person.

1.3.2-Scope
This research study covers the three (3) basic operations of blood banks, namely: donor
registration, monitoring of blood bags or products’ inventories, and monitoring of blood
bags or products’ issuance. Also, due to time-constraint, respondents will be from hospitals
from North Batinah Region in the Oman, though the research study talks about blood banks
in the Sultanate of Oman. In addition, the study considers three (3) possible users of the
system, namely: hospital administrator, doctors, and blood receptionists.

1.3.3-Limitation
This research study does not cover the actual blood collection activity, and actual
blood transfusion operation. Blood donors and patients or recipients of blood donation are
not system users, their registration or information will be encoded by the blood bank
receptionists.

Red Cross Connect 21BEIT54020

1.4-Assumptions and hypothesis

The researchers assume the following assumptions:

1. Internet connectivity is needed for the online blood management system. Internet speed
may affect the perception of the systems users with regards to the system effectiveness
and efficiency.

2. Blood transfusion should be performed by medical or professional doctors only. The

over-all safety depends on the success of the medical operation.
The researchers identify the following hypotheses:

1. there is a significant difference in the level of blood transfusion safety between manual-
based and online blood bank systems.

2. There is an increased level of blood transfusion safety in using online blood bank
management systems while there is an increased risk when using manual-based one.

1.5-Significance of the problem

The findings of this study will benefit blood banks in managing blood donation donors,
activities, and blood bags. This will allow the hospital to take decision if a particular type
of blood is needed and currently unavailable in the hospital, however, available in another
nearby hospitals. Furthermore, managing the blood bags in the blood bank will be much
easier because each blood bag has an information about the donor, donation activity
details, and the expiration date. Also, doctor can use this system to serve blood bags to
their patient and monitor the details of the donor.

The main advantages of the system are:

 Blood bank staff can find and manage the donor details on the system easily.
 The expiration date of blood bags can be viewed in the system.
 Hospital can be alerted about issued blood bags and its availability.
 The system is systematized, and organized in managing blood donor records and
blood donation activities.

1.6-definition of terms
 Blood bags: are designed for the collection, processing and storage of whole blood
and blood components They help in providing aseptic conditions for the separation
of blood components. It acts as a closed system reducing the chances of
contamination.
 Blood bank: is a place where blood bag that is collected from blood donation
events is stored in one place. Which refers to a division of a hospital laboratory
where the storage of blood product occurs and where proper testing is performed
to reduce the risk of transfusion related events.
 Donor: is someone who gives a part of their body or some of their blood to be used
by doctors to help a person who is ill.
 Transfusion: transfusion is done as a lifesaving maneuver to replace blood cells
or blood products lost through severe bleeding. Transfusion of one's own blood
(autologous transfusion) is the safest method, but it requires advanced planning,
and not all patients are eligible.

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

11
Red Cross Connect 21BEIT54020

2.1-Introduction
This section discusses findings and observations done by some research works on
webbased blood bank management system. The gathered information on these related
papers strengthens and supports the research study.

2.2- Literature Studies

According to 2Teena, C.A, Sankar, K. and Kannan, S. (2014) in their study entitled
“A Study on Blood Bank Management”, they defined Blood Bank Information System as
an information management system that contributes to the management of donor records
and blood bank. Their system allowed an authorized blood bank administrator to sign in
with a password to manage easily the records of donors and patients who need blood. The
system provided many features including the central database, quick access to the system
content through the login, includes the search code to find donors on a given basis, and the
ease of adding and updating donor data. The main aim of the system was to complete the
process of the blood bank. This system was designed to suit all types of blood banks. Once
successful in the implementation of the application, it can be applied and rolled out in
several blood banks. This application contains User Login Screen, Blood Management,
Menu Form, Blood Stock, Donor Management, Donor Registration, Blood Reservation,
Donor Blood Test, Recipient Management and Blood Reservation. In similar manner, the
researchers planned in their application to have hospital administrator, doctors, and blood
bank receptionists as users. The authors did not mentioned the research method they used,
and failed to provide screenshots of the system prototypes, making difficult for the
researchers to visualize their application. No discussion also for their respondents, samples
and sampling techniques used. Subsequently, the researchers planned to provide figures to
explain the system, screenshots of system prototypes, and other diagrams that can help
other researchers to visualize the development of web-based blood bank management
system. Also, the researchers will explicitly discuss its research methods, sampling
procedures, and statistical treatment to be used for analysing the gathered data.

On the other hand, study entitled “Blood Bank Management System” done by
3Kumar, R., Singh, S. and Ragavi, V.A. (2017), the researchers developed a web-based
blood management which assists the blood donor records management, and provides ease
of control in the distribution of blood products in various parts of the country considering
demands of hospitals. The developed system was scalable and adaptable to meet the

12
Red Cross Connect 21BEIT54020

complex needs usually of a blood bank. Based on this study, since entering the details
about the blood donors and related records were done manually, thus, tracking of blood
donation activities was difficult and complicated, and even led to erroneous information.
Subsequently, the researchers mentioned that manual-based system can be waste of time,
lead to the error-prone results, consumes a lot of manpower, lacks data security, data
retrieval requires a lot of time, reports consumes a long time to produce, and there is less
precise accuracy on the results. As such, by developing and implementing a web-based
blood management information system, there was a quick and timely access to donor
records, and the system provided management timely, confidential and secured medical
reports. There were three (3) users in the system, namely: Administrator, Donor, and
Acceptor. Each user has been given user ID and password to identify their identity. The
said application was developed using ASP.NET, C#.NET, and using Sql Server 2000/2005
for the database. The research paper failed to mention the methods of research used.

In this study, the researchers learnt the importance of implementing a web-based blood
bank management system in handling records for blood donors and blood donation
activities to ensure accurate and readily available information for blood transfusion
services. Indeed, the impact of using Information Technology on hospitals provides better
healthcare services for the public. Likewise, the researchers learnt that there are
programming languages suitable for web-based applications such as ASP.NET, PhP, to
name a few.

In the study entitled “Blood Bank Management System Using Rule-Based Method” -
-undertaken by 4Liyana, F. (2017), it found out that it is important for every hospital to
use an information system to manage data in blood bank. Also, it observed that the manual
system has disadvantages for the user and the hospital. One of the disadvantages identified
was the blood bank staff should enter the donor details in each time he/she donate blood
in which led to duplicate data of the donor and also the data may be lost or missing after
period of time. Thus, the author developed a web-based system to help the blood bank to
record the donor details fast and easy. The system used rule-based decisions to ensure to
have a right decision on right time. Also, system can send messages to donors if any
particular blood type is needed. She developed blood bank system based on incremental
model. She had chosen this model because the system can be developed through cycle of
phase and also because of the advantages of this model such as:

13
Red Cross Connect 21BEIT54020

I. Easy to understand to flow of the phases.

II. Changes possible in the middle of any phases.

III. The system can be developed even if there is an error in the middle and it can be
corrected in testing phase.
In this study, the researchers observed that the developer failed to include in the system
the function to check the availability of blood bags, and to check the shelf life or expiration
of blood bags or products. As such, the researchers will include these in their developed
system to enhance safety for blood transfusion.

2.3-conclusion

The purpose of these literature reviews was to collect information on how an

information system helped the management of blood banks. Based on the reviews, it was
found out that web-based blood bank systems provide convenience, efficiency and security
to the system users and hospitals compared to the manual systems. It was found out that
manual systems have many disadvantages that disappoint and dissatisfy users. Indeed,
online blood bank applications make work easy, and ensures fast retrieval of data when
needed.

3.1-Introduction
This section presents the research methodology used in the study, the
research design, and the data collection process. This section also presents the theoretical
or conceptual framework of the study, the sampling plan, and tools to be used for data
analysis.

3.2-Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

Figure 1.0:Conceptual framework [1]

The conceptual framework served a mental window of the researchers because it depicted
the research design and the relationships of the variables involved. Based on the figure
above, the usage or utilization of the online blood bank management system can lead to
the enhancement or improvement of blood transfusion safety.

3.3-Methods and procedures

The researchers used both descriptive research and experimental research design
methods. The study was descriptive because it describes the nature of situation as it exists
at the time of the study. Also, it was a systematic and scientific approach to research in
which the researchers manipulate one or more variables, and control and measure any
change in other variables. It involves collection of data in order to test hypotheses or to

16
Red Cross Connect 21BEIT54020

answer questions concerning current status of the subject of the study. The study was also
experimental because it has an assumption of a cause-and-effect relationship, and the
researchers introduce online blood bank management system as intervention that caused
the change.

In this study, the researchers used questionnaire to collect information and to

obtain the perception of the various stakeholders on how they perceive the manual-based
system and the online system. The questionnaire was administered to hospital
administrators, doctors, and blood bank receptionists. In sampling, the researchers used
cluster sampling in which respondents were grouped according to their roles and
responsibilities. The questionnaire includes 18 questions. There were many strategies to
analyze data after collected. The researchers counted the frequency of each question, and
computed the mean as a measure of central tendency. Also, standard deviation and variance
were calculated to perform the t-test. From the mean or average of both manual based
system and online system, the researchers compared the computed mean to see if the use
of online system is much better than manual system. Also, from the result of t-test, the
researchers decided if the null hypothesis will be accepted or not.

11.1-Summary

 The researchers conducted this applied research to examine and evaluate on how
online blood bank management system (OBBMS) can enhance blood transfusion
safety. The researchers aimed to design, design, and implement this OBBMS. The
researchers used both descriptive and experimental design methods. The researchers
floated and administered questionnaire through online to hospital administrators,
doctors, and blood bank receptionists from the various hospital in the in INDIA.
Further, based on the gathered data, means, standard deviations, and t-value were
computed. These computed values were analyzed and interpreted. Based on the
findings and results, conclusions and recommendations were made.

11.2-Conclusion

 Based on results, this study concluded that online blood bank management system is
much better than the manual system. The findings showed that respondents prefer to
use online blood bank management system rather than the manual system because it
offers many advantages and benefits that lead to its effectiveness, and efficiency.
Because of the increased confidence on the users on the system, it can be concluded
that the online blood bank management system enhances blood transfusion safety
because it provides better ways of handling the various processes in blood bank.

11.3-Recommendations

 In view of the findings, the researchers recommend that implementation of online

blood bank management system. Further, the researchers recommend that further
studies on how online blood bank management system enhances blood transfusion
safety can be undertaken to strengthen this study’s findings. This requires actual
implementation of the online system and evaluates how the users respond after
implementation. This study recommends that it should be roll out across the Sultanate
of Oman. Likewise, to ensure that there will be better user engagement, user manuals
and proper user training should be given. Lastly, this study recommends that the
system can be expanded by allowing donors to register online and be a system user,
and these donors will be informed about the planned blood donation activities through
the online.
