Abstract

Introduction: Blood banks play a fundamental role in healthcare systems, ensuring the availability of safe blood for transfusions. However, the fragmentation of information systems in Peruvian blood banks limits the traceability and efficiency of donor data management. This study aims to evaluate the perception of healthcare professionals regarding the need for an interoperable information system for blood banks.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in public (MINSA), social security (ESSALUD), and private sector blood banks in Lima, Peru. A structured survey was applied to 65 professionals to assess the current status of their information systems, perceived limitations, and their acceptance of a new interoperable platform. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results: Most participants (85%) reported having an information system, but only 22% confirmed its interconnection with other blood banks. Furthermore, 97% supported the implementation of a new system with a centralized database for donor traceability. The main barriers identified were insufficient network infrastructure (43%) and budget constraints (31%).

Conclusion: The results highlight the urgent need for an interoperable information system in Peruvian blood banks. Its implementation could enhance efficiency, reduce redundant testing, and improve transfusion safety. Future research should focus on feasibility assessments and policy recommendations.

秘鲁血库的互操作性:对综合信息系统实施的认识和挑战。
血库在卫生保健系统中发挥着重要作用,确保提供安全的输血血液。然而,秘鲁血库信息系统的碎片化限制了献血者数据管理的可追溯性和效率。本研究旨在评估医疗保健专业人员对血库互操作信息系统需求的看法。方法:在秘鲁利马的公共(MINSA)、社会保障(ESSALUD)和私营部门血库进行了一项横断面研究。对65名专业人员进行了结构化调查,以评估他们信息系统的现状、感知到的限制以及他们对新的互操作平台的接受程度。采用描述性统计和推理统计对数据进行分析。结果:大多数参与者(85%)报告有一个信息系统,但只有22%的人确认其与其他血库互连。此外,97%的人支持实施一个新的系统,该系统具有集中式数据库,用于供体可追溯性。确定的主要障碍是网络基础设施不足(43%)和预算限制(31%)。结论:研究结果表明秘鲁血库迫切需要一个可互操作的信息系统。它的实施可以提高效率,减少重复检测,并改善输血安全。未来的研究应侧重于可行性评估和政策建议。
