Case Study: Sanford Hospital maintains a safe, reliable blood supply with WellSky Blood Centers

Sanford Hospital maintains a safe, reliable blood supply for its community with WellSky® Blood Centers

Sanford Hospital, the largest hospital in South Dakota, coordinates a large donor program and regional blood supply partnership while managing more than 15,000 blood units across its facility and partner organizations. Its challenge was to streamline donor intake, deferrals, product data, and reporting in a highly regulated environment, which led it to use WellSky Blood Centers.

With WellSky Blood Centers, Sanford Hospital automated donor intake and deferral logic, reduced paperwork, improved error checking, and simplified quality and compliance reporting. The solution also supported paperless collection workflows, labeling, inventory, and antigen testing, helping Sanford lower testing costs, improve safety, and manage a growing program with fewer support needs and greater readiness for future expansion.
