different circumstances. Therefore, donation of blood is an essential criterion for the human beings
to save the lives of their beings.
The National Blood Transfusion Service of Sri Lanka is the only authorized institute that
responsible for the collection, processing, storage and distribution of whole blood and blood
products in a manner that ensures all blood-related demands are met. In addition to this primary
goal, also concerned with the minimization of wastages through outdates and spoilage and
reduction of shortages as much as possible.
The proposed system intends to computerize the donor management and blood inventory system
in the blood banks in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness of keeping records and meeting
the goals of the National Blood Transfusion.
In this report background to the problem was clearly demonstrated with the aid of literatures and
various researches. Further scope of the project was narrow downed in order to overcome the above
problems by managing the units of blood needed by hospital per day and number of blood units
need to collect per day in order to balance the demand and supply by checking with the available
blood units through the use of effective inventory and donor management module proposed in this
system.
Further project requirements were collected using interviews, industrial survey and observation,
and collected requirements were designed in order to address the stated problems considering
project management and Software development methodologies following by the requirement
modelling diagrams. Prototype was developed and tested according to the test plan, further
evaluated by the IT experts as well as by the user. Feedback received from the evaluators were
recorded and will be incorporated in future enhancements.
