Stand-Alone Deployment
In many cases, hospital blood banks and transfusion services do not have a blood bank information system that allows the facility to integrate label printing for blood units. A stand-alone deployment of LabelClinic enables a facility to start labeling or re-labeling of blood units at minimum cost and resources. If the time comes to integrate blood labeling into the blood bank information system, no additional licensing is required. In addition, the LabelClinic Stand-alone deployment can be a backup or downtime alternative to the Integrated deployment. Simply install the LabelClinic Client from the server to as many PCs in a facility as needed, and the Stand-Alone deployment is complete.
Integration Layout
- Required for customers who have a central system they would like to use for printing.
- - Local (Research) codes
- - Research identification
- - Collection information
