Order Linking-look across stays
• This feature enables users to use a valid type and
screen result on one stay with a product order on
another stay for the same (MRN) patient
• Parameter driven
hos_TSLink when set to “Y” order link functionality
is enabled

Dividing products - open vs. closed
system
• This feature allows for differentiation of open vs.
closed system when products are divided.
• The product outdate is adjusted accordingly.
• The appropriate ISBT label is generated
• New fields in SETUP>Blood Product:
1. After dividing in open system
2. ISBT-128 Bar code for product divided in open
system
Dividing products-open vs. closed
system
Dividing products-open vs. closed
system
• New hosparam: hos_DivOpenSys – This parameter
controls the default value in the Open System
checkbox in Inventory>Edit>Create Product>Divide
and Inventory>Product Orders Service>Create
Product>Divide.
• Y- Units will be divided using an open system.
• N- Units will be divided using a closed system.
Dividing products-open vs. closed
system
Dividing products - open vs. closed
system
• Related hosparam: hos_DivExpDT - This parameter
controls whether expiration date/time is copied from
original product or entered manually, when a product
is divided.
• Y - The system defaults the original expiration
date/time when a product is divided.
• N - The system requires the user to manually enter
expiration date/time when a product is divided.
Octaplas products
• Octaplas products can be delivered into SoftBank
• Parameter hos_isbt_DIN_pfx- to specify the
characters that the system will recognize as the first
character of an ISBT donation identification number
"X" for Octaplas products
"P" for CAP proficiency
• ISBT labels can be generated
Octaplas products
• Available products: O, A, B, AB
• ABO is encoded in the ISBT product code barcode,
and can be specified in blood product setup.
• When product with ABO in the product code is
delivered in Inventory>In/Out>Delivery/Batch
Delivery, SoftBank compares the ABO encoded in the
product code barcode with the ABO encoded in the
blood type barcode.

Exception Priorities
• Hierarchy of exceptions are possible by assigning
priority. Exceptions will display in a specified color
based upon the priority assigned.
Exception Priorities
Complex retype test
• The system allows a retype test to be defined as a
complex test.
• Setup driven
• Allows for flexibility in retype testing.
Complex retype test
First test defined as basic with “Category” defined and logic
table completed
Complex retype test
Second test defined as basic test with “Category” defined as “Q”.
Test with POS Interpretation will automatically be quarantined
Complex retype test
Complex retype test
Automatic clearing of worksheets
• In Worksheet setup the Auto-clear should be checked to
enable completed results to be cleared automatically from the
worksheet.
Additional Patient Identifiers
• System will support additional patient identifiers
• Field names of the additional identifiers is parameter
driven.
• The display of the additional identifiers in all patient
header windows and print on patient reports is
parameter driven
Additional Patient Identifiers
Example: Shriner MRN, TraumaStroke#
Supervisor security levels
• Supervisor security levels with “S” represents the
highest supervisor level and 9 is the lowest supervisor
level providing flexibility for supervisor overrides.
• Different security roles should be built in Security
Management assigning different supervisor levels.
• Parameters will contain the appropriate security level
