Goal:
The overall aim of this project is to implement an effective and sustainable eHealth system that facilitates the achievement of improved blood safety and availability in these countries as part of a larger programme strategy to improve quality management in low resource blood services in Africa.
Overview:
The programme is built around the development and enhancement of the Blood Safety Information System (BSIS) software to a production-ready state and the implementation of the BSIS software in national blood services in countries in Africa. The programme looks at the implementation of the BSIS software as more than the simple deployment of the system at site, taking a whole system approach that acknowledges the interconnection between policy, practice and technology and looks at:
- Environment (where will the system be used?)
- Process (how will the system be used?)
- Technology (what hardware/software will be used?)
- Capacity building (who will use the system?)
- Sustainability (how much will it cost and who will pay?)
Programme Funded by: CDC

The software tool developed to support this programme is called BSIS - Blood Safety Information System. This software This system is based on work originally undertaken on the Vein-To-Vein (V2V) software, developed by the Computing For Good (C4G) department at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, U.S.A.
