James,

You need to do org.openmrs.api.ObsService I think.

                Because of the criticality of blood tracking, it's important
that there be a check digit on your blood bag ID.  So maybe you should use
the algorithm from ID generation rather than just a sequence number.  ****

                Also I don't know if you are tracking the blood after it's
processed into different products and then into the patient, but that's the
standard of care for blood.  Certainly it would be good at least to check
the blood against your testing records before use, that's where
discrepancies would appear.  You'd be better off printing barcodes and avoid
rewriting.  There are also standards for that.****

                I know that we here at CDC are doing blood bank system
strengthening in Haiti and that hospital-based collection and processing is
not the international norm, especially when presence of transmissible
disease is high.  Rather, collection efforts are based around community
drives, particularly where young as-yet-uninfected people can be found, with
processing at high-volume centers which warehouse the products and
distribute them to hospitals, with only a few days supply stored at the
hospital.  ****

                In short, there are lots of international standards around
bloodbanking that are important and which I can send if you're interested.
There are also commercial solutions which might do the job cheaper, faster
and with better compliance with international standards than you can. ****

Saludos, Roger****
