User Experience

ISBT 128 USER EXPERIENCE

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

"In addition to being beneficial for donors, patients, and safety, ISBT 128 has been very beneficial for the vendors of IT systems. It enables several IT systems to coexist in a country or a region, since all exchanged blood products are uniformly labeled and carry all relevant information. ISBT 128 reduces vendors' cost since we can focus on one standard when implementing the business logic for products and bedside control. We anticipate future standards for interfacing production equipment."
