3 INTRODUCTION This document contains information pertinent to the understanding, definition, format, and interchange of data within the DonorHART TM application BACKGROUND The focus of the application is to capture and analyze reaction information from the nation s blood centers. Though the components of a comprehensive Hemovigilance system include adverse transfusion events, infectious diseases monitoring, emerging infectious diseases, and hazards of donation, this research effort focuses on the donor aspect of Hemovigilance. Hemovigilance includes monitoring, analyzing, and researching the risks involved for a donor at the time of blood donation, or after the donation activity. Innovative approaches of the application include: 1. Gathering the information related to donor reactions that have occurred during blood donation using Web-based data capture methods; 2. Monitoring the key metrics related to the occurrence of reactions, and track them across facilities and regions, nationally; 3. Use the collected information for data mining and GIS-based visualization to analyze changes in trend differences in patterns and identify the underlying causalities; DATA ELEMENTS AND THEIR FORMAT The application will have the ability to accept data from Blood Establishments and Organizations in the form of CSV files on a frequent basis. The system currently supports importing CSV files for the following: 1. Donor Data 2. Donation Data 3. Reaction Data 4. Denominator Data 5. Delete Reaction Data 6. Collection Center Data Page 1
