InterSystems is the latest laboratory information system (LIS) vendor to sign on to integrate with the National Blood Authority's (NBA) award-winning BloodNet ordering and inventory management system, which will allow the ordering and distribution of blood products to be automated for TrakCare Lab users.

BloodNet is a web-based system through which approved healthcare providers can order blood and blood products from suppliers such as the Australian Red Cross Blood Service via a LIS interfaced to BloodNet.

LIS interfaces enable real-time exchange of critical blood stock information, promoting efficiencies in Australia'’s $1.1 billion annual blood products supply chain and improving emergency response capabilities.
