Overview
The blood transfusion service in the Czech Republic is decentralized, hospital-based, and lacks a unified data-sharing system that would allow all blood banks and blood transfusion services to have an overview of the current availability of blood products (BP). Therefore, a system called the Blood Products Marketplace was designed to create a shared overview of the availability of BPs and at the same time allow them to be bought and sold in real-time thanks to regular updates. The Czech Society for Blood Transfusion created a survey in order to determine the necessary information for the correct setting of the system and its implementation. The results of the survey show that the respondents would welcome the information system of the Blood Products Marketplace and would consider it beneficial. Based on the results, it is possible to optimize individual parts of the system to meet the needs and requirements of both blood transfusion services and blood banks, and the system could be successfully put into practice.
