Pinnacle Blood Transfusion Module
|
|
The PINNACLE Blood Transfusion module offers a
complete range of functions to meet the needs of a modern
transfusion department.
The PINNACLE application software is highly flexible and
was designed by laboratory staff, specifically for the Blood
Transfusion environment, with many user-defined formats
and parameters.
|
|
Patient Database
|
|
All PINNACLE modules, including Blood Transfusion, are
linked to common patient demographic information using the
power and flexibility of the ORACLE Relational Database
Management System.
Blood Transfusion patients can also be flagged to offer
additional security and local management of the relevant data
items. In addition, facilities are also available to record bone
marrow transplant information including any blood group
changes, donor details and transplant procedure.
|
|
Request Entry
|
|
Request entry screen layouts are customised for each
laboratory and they can also be implemented on a centralised
basis.
They are designed for maximum ease of use and for enhanced
productivity, including the capture of any discipline-specific
data required, such as any available antibody details, and the
processing of autologous and reserved units. The system also
optionally supports the use of the Maximum Surgical Blood
Ordering System (MSBOS).
|
|
Result Entry and Processing
|
|
PINNACLE offers the flexibility of both individual test result
entry and the use of worklists. The intelligent linking of
activities such as blood grouping, antibody screening and
stock allocation offers a logical and efficient route through
the various processing stages.
|
|
Analyser Interfaces
|
|
PINNACLE supports a wide range of automated equipment
including those used for blood grouping and antibody
screening.
|
|
Product Issue
|
|
PINNACLE provides a number of security levels and
validation checks to ensure that only correct products are
issued, using compatibility tables to control the valid
combinations of compatible, suitable and incompatible
products.
|
|
Antenatal Processing
|
|
Antenatal processing is supported as standard through a range
of user-defined tests and worklists. In addition, mother and
baby links are maintained within the system, and for
simplicity and efficiency, all relevant results can be entered or
viewed via a common screen. During antenatal processing,
system rules are also used to check on blood groups and any
previous issue of anti-D immunoglobulin.
|
|
Enquiries
|
|
Accessible within the Blood Transfusion laboratory, across
other disciplines or to authorised external users, the enquiry
facilities provide fast and secure access to patient result data,
with a range of stock enquiries also provided including by
product type, donor, batch number or location.
|
|
|
Comprehensive Reporting and Management Information
|
|
In addition to the standard reports including BTS statistics,
data can be analysed and reported upon using a range of
industry-standard SQL tools including the powerful, data
analysis and reporting tools Business Objects and Oracle
Discoverer.
