Purpose

• To convey how we perform management of our
  unique needs within the wartime environment of
  the battlefield-lab-device manufacture process.

Background

• The ASBPO is recognized as the Joint Services
  Functional Representative. We collaborate with
  sponsors of blood product, knowledge based,
  information systems to store, track, analyze,
  monitor and use, blood and products information.
  
• The current system designed to handle blood
  collection, processing and tracking procedures,
  transfusions, and automation of standards and
  safeguards for the Military Health System (MHS)
  blood supply is the Defense Blood Standard System
  (DBSS). Through DBSS, the United States military
  has the ability to automate the exchange of blood
  products with our nation's allies and civilian
  agencies, and to track products from ArmToArm."
  
• Future globalization of Blood Systems will
  afford the Services access to patient and donor
  information across military treatment facilities,
  allowing the MHS to better serve users, donors,
  and blood recipients. We are collecting and
  validating both, requirements of theater
  operations and sustaining operations, in support
  of Blood Systems Transformation.
