SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DOCUMENTING A BLOOD DONATION COLLECTION PROCESS
First Claim
1. A Blood Establishment Computer System (BECS) automated data entry emulator comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions capable of being executed by a computer, that when executed by the computer causes the computer to:
- receive one or more sets of data from one or more medical devices comprising blood collection information and/or donor information;
format the data sets by formatting data within each set of data into data entry fields corresponding to data entry fields of a BECS system;
automatically write the formatted data sets into data entry fields of the BECS system;
generate a list of exceptions referencing any of the data sets for which the BECS system indicates an error or did not accept data from the data set; and
present the list of exceptions to a user to manually correct the data within the data sets referenced by the list of exceptions.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus collecting blood from patients and managing blood donations are provided, which may include any number of features. One feature is a blood collection device configured to collect blood and collection information from a patient. Another feature is a system and method for acquiring and receiving the blood and collection information, and entering the information into a blood records management system. Computing methods and systems are described which can acquire the desired data with screen scraping and enter the data into the blood records management system with terminal emulation.

8. A Blood Establishment Computer System (BECS) automated data entry emulator comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions capable of being executed by a computer, that when executed by the computer causes the computer to:
-
receive one or more sets of data from one or more medical devices comprising blood collection information and/or donor information; format the data within each set of data into data entry fields corresponding to data entry fields of a BECS system; generate a first list of exceptions referencing any of the sets of data which cannot be formatted to correspond to the data entry fields of the BECS system; apply a first set of exceptions rules to the data within each data set to determine if additional data is missing from one or more of the sets of data and include a reference to any data set missing the additional data on the first list of exceptions; automatically write the formatted data sets not referenced on the first list of exceptions into data entry fields of the BECS system; generate a second list of exceptions referencing any of the data sets for which the BECS system indicates an error; and present the first and second list of exceptions to a user to manually correct the data within the data sets referenced by the first and second list of exceptions.

9. A method of managing blood collections, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, with a computing system, blood collection information from a blood collection device; inputting, with a terminal emulation software program of the computing system, the blood collection information into a blood records management system; and identifying, with a screen scraping process of the terminal emulation software program, errors in the blood collection information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of managing blood collections, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, with a computing system, blood collection information or donor information from a blood donor screening system or a blood collection device; emulating, with the computing system, the blood collection information or donor information into a blood records management system; and identifying, with the computing system, errors in the blood collection information, errors in the donor information, or errors produced by the blood records management system. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A blood collection and tracking system, comprising:
-
a blood collection device configured to collect blood from a patient and to collect information relating to the collected blood; a donor screening system configured to provide information relating to the patient'"'"'s eligibility to donate blood; a blood records management system comprising a database of information relating to blood donation and distribution; and a batch data entry logic module configured to receive information relating to the collected blood from the blood collection device, configured to receive information relating to the patient'"'"'s eligibility to donate blood from the donor screening system, and further configured to enter the information relating to the collected blood and the patient'"'"'s eligibility to donate blood into the blood records management system with a terminal emulation algorithm.
