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**** ** ** *From:* [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *James Arbaugh *Sent:* Thursday, September 15, 2011 11:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OPENMRS-IMPLEMENTERS] Auto-Incrementing Nu...
