Abstract

A system and method processes blood donation data for presentation on an operator interface. A handheld computing device has a touch screen display and a processing circuit to provide an icon associated with an executable application on a first display screen, the icon configured to be positioned along with icons for other executable applications on the first display screen. The processing circuit is to retrieve an indication of a need for a particular blood component, wherein the particular blood component is selected from the group comprising whole blood, double red cells and plasma. The processing circuit is to provide the indication of the need for a particular blood component to the display. The processing circuit is to provide to the touch screen display a remaining time or a date the blood donor is next eligible to donate a blood component based on a donation eligibility guideline.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A system for notifying a blood product donor of donor eligibility and administering a donor questionnaire, comprising:

a handheld computing device comprising a handheld housing, a touch screen display coupled to the housing, a memory to store an executable application, a network interface circuit configured to communicate wirelessly, and a processing circuit coupled to the display, the network interface circuit and the memory, the processing circuit configured to:
provide an icon associated with the executable application on a first display screen, the icon configured to be positioned along with icons for other executable applications on the first display screen;
receive an indication from the touch screen display that a user has selected the icon to operate the executable application;
a remote server computer in wireless communication with the handheld computing device, the remote server computer in communication with:
a first computer configured to process data at a first fixed site blood product donation center having blood product donation instruments;
and
a second computer configured to process data at a second fixed site blood product donation center which is different than the first fixed site blood product donation center;
the remote server computer configured to interact with the first and second computers at the different fixed site blood product donation centers;
the remote server comprising a data management system developed by a provider of the blood product donation instruments;
further comprising the blood product donation instruments, wherein one of the blood product donation instruments collects the blood product from the donor into a blood component container;
wherein the handheld computing device is configured to:
receive a donor identifier at a display screen;
notify the blood product donor via the touch screen display of eligibility of the blood product donor to donate based on a donation eligibility guideline;
display a name and street address for a default blood product donation center for the blood product donor;
administer a donor questionnaire to screen the donor;
and
display a confirmation screen for the donation.
