Holidays, travel, winter weather, and seasonal illness - they all “contribute” to a shortage in blood supply this time of year. They all reduce donor turnout, while hospitals and labs are still expected to move fast, stay accurate, and make every unit count.
Which is why we wanted to take this opportunity in January, National Blood Donor Month, and remind you that some of the most critical parts of healthcare happen quietly, behind the scenes:
Behind every successful blood donation is a complex lab operation working under pressure. Samples must be tracked without error, results delivered on time, inventory managed precisely, and full traceability maintained from donor to patient.
We support the labs that make blood donation safe, usable, and trusted with our powerful LIS, clean data, and reliable workflows that ensure generosity doesn’t get lost in operational friction.
So this month, if you can, donate or pledge to donate. And if you run a lab, make sure your systems are ready for the moments that truly matter. After all, saving lives is also about operational excellence.
