Traditionally the poor cousin of pathology, the digital transformation of transfusion laboratories in Australia is now well underway and transforming the provision of these essential clinical services. Explore the transformation of the Australian blood supply chain and understand how the ongoing developments of new and existing national systems such as BloodNet and BloodSTAR provides both opportunities and significant challenges. Explore how real-time monitoring of the supply chain and transfusions could change your provision of pathology services. And explore perhaps the greatest mystery of all – why is it that Australia has a world-leading solution that enables haemophilia patients in the community to record in real-time their bleeds & infusions and notify their clinicians, but we are still unable to comprehensively implement computer assisted transfusions at the bedside in our hospitals ?
