Program Tracking (Data Management). Routine sickle cell genetic screening and counseling is performed. There are four mobile blood drives every day, and the center which operates twenty-four hours per day. This center has a computer system which uses software programs designed by the blood center’s information technology department (Enting, W. Telephonic communication, September 7, 2005). The centrifuges and refrigeration units to cool the blood samples are not backed up by the computers (Grebe, P., personal telephonic communication, September, 28, 2005). The blood center operate three hundred and sixty-three day of the year, and serve as many as fifty participants per unit per day which includes the campus; visitation to businesses, …show more content…
The blood center has implemented a computer database system designed to continue to introduce the Social Security Number (SSN) as the key when putting together a new database or when re-organizing an old one. Some of the qualities that are (often) useful in a key and that people think they are getting from the SSN are uniqueness, universality, security, and identification (Delta, 2004). This computer system has proven to be cost-effective. The economical pros and cons of stem cell research have pointed to improvements in cost of the transplants and increased cost due to the immaturity of the science and ongoing research. Any economist’s observation must include a review of nuclear transfer and stem cell technologies and advances against a backdrop of the politicization of science. Careful consideration of the multidimensional nature of stem cell technology and economic factors will impact demands of dialogue as stem cell policy is framed pertaining to blood transfusions and transplants (Curtis, 2003). The blood center can jointly produce two or more goods more cheaply than under separate production of the goods (Folland, 2004). Two products that the blood center products are red blood cells and platelets (Lifesouth, 2004). The vectors used to transfect stem cells may introduce the signal to all the hematopoietic cells, however the cellular environment may only allow the correct protein signal to magnify. …show more content…
The lab is non-profit. The tools are activity, supply, demand and Capitated price according to the Rochester research committee (RRC, 2001). The survey lab performs surveys for the State of Florida, the United States, and several universities. The lab covers all Medicaid programs (pediatrics, and elderly utilization), and all healthcare conditions (see figure 1.0). Surveys have limited listed sample. The lab must keep up with technology most importantly. Budget constraints require the lab produce average revenue equals average cost while not losing sample (Folland, 2004). The lab will have to purchase sample if sample ends before the lab reaches the quota. The challenges are pediatrics and gerontology as the percent capitation has
