title: Enhancing a Blood Transfusion Platform with Clinic Decision Support Component to Better Assure Patient Safety.
abstract: Blood transfusion is an important but complex and high-risky clinical procedure. Any error could cause serious injuries to patients. To better assure the procedure safety, we enhancing our home-made blood transfusion platform with new clinic decision support components to assure patient's identity and to inform clinicians of any event in time. So far, our transfusion incidence case has been reduced to 0 from 9 before the system implemented.
