title: Implementation of electronic identification system for blood transfusion in the setting of hematopoietic progenitor cell infusion at the bedside.
abstract: Hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) infusion at the bedside is a critical step in HPC transplantation. In this study, we implemented a bar code-based electronic identification system (EIS) for blood transfusion in the setting of HPC infusion at the bedside. Between July 2003 and December 2014, a total of 518 HPC products were infused to 190 patients without a single misinfusion in the hospital. An overall compliance rate with the electronic pre-infusion check for HPC infusion at the bedside was 100%. Our observations suggest that an EIS can be successfully applied to the infusion of HPC products at the bedside.
