BLISS: BLood Inventory Submission System

The Joint Medical Asset Repository (JMAR) is being successfully used to track medical supplies in near-real-time, saving time, money, and lives. However, assets housed at a temporary emergency-response location, near the battlefield, or any other location without the proper installation, can not be tracked using JMAR. In order for JMAR to meet our national needs as a facility for accessing blood and blood product levels throughout the United States and other locations worldwide, a new mechanism must be provided for quickly entering data. ATC-NY and Architecture Technology Corporation will create BLISS, an easy-to-use web-based utility for entering data into the JMAR database. Using BLISS, authorized personnel at any facility with web-access will be able to provide up-to-date inventory levels for storage in JMAR's database.
