Abstract

Blood donation is a voluntary act able to save lives. For this reason, it becomes fundamental to elaborate practices to reach for new donors as well as to create some solutions so that these individuals could become regular donors who search for blood centers. In order for it becomes possible, it is required an efficient data management about the source and destiny of the donations and the information about its donors. Being the Dashboard an excellent management tool, this present paper has aimed the elaboration of an interactive panel for Alagoas’ blood network, having as main data source the Hemoal Maceió. The tool used was the ArcGIS Operations Dashboards. Based on the available tools, it was possible to generate graphs and interactive maps with data referring to the Alagoas’ blood network, apart from providing instructions for the donation and the contacts of all the state’s hemotherapy units. The achieved results show that the Dashboard stand out by facilitating the access and reading of the information compiling geospatial data of all state’s blood network units, which contain: address, city and contact number as also the spatialization of HEMOAL donors in Maceió city. Furthermore, the panel enabled the reunion and representation, through the use of many different types of graphs, of the donors’ features like age range and gender as well as the daily situation in the Maceió HEMOAL’s stock and the number of monthly donations. Thereby the Dashboard has presented itself as an efficient tool accomplishing all the proposed needs. Because of that, the interactive panel showed that the application of new management tools in the health area can render the decision making more practical and dynamic.
