Duration: 50 minutes

Associate Professor Roxby describes the components of an end-to-end transfusion laboratory informatics system that can help labs reduce the risks of clinical or laboratory errors, better comply with regulatory requirements, achieve uniformity of practices, and optimize resource management. Clinical informatics provides integration and coordination of multiple interrelated but independent systems and processes to provide algorithm-based decision making, real-time process controls, planning and decision making, and record retention to comply with regulatory needs.
