Short Answer
Blood Requests & Requisitions on BDOI® allow logged-in users to post a request when blood or a specific blood component is needed, so that other logged-in members of the BDOI® community can view the request and potentially respond.
Detailed Explanation
The Blood Requests feature is designed to provide a structured way for members of the BDOI® community to communicate a need for blood or blood components.
A logged-in user can create a blood request by providing the relevant information requested by the BDOI® platform.
Once posted, the request can be viewed by other logged-in BDOI® users.
The feature is intended to improve awareness of blood requirements and help connect people who may be able to assist.
However, a BDOI® blood request should not be understood as a guarantee that blood will be arranged through BDOI®.
Patients and their families should continue coordinating with the relevant hospital, blood bank or medical facility for actual blood availability and transfusion requirements.
Key Points
- Blood Requests are available to logged-in BDOI® users.
- A request communicates a need for blood or blood components.
- Other logged-in users can view requests.
- Creating a request does not guarantee that blood will be arranged.
- Hospitals and blood banks remain important for actual blood availability and transfusion services.
❤️ Motivation
One clearly communicated request can help the right donor discover an opportunity to help.
