The article talks mostly about efficiency — improved identification in less time — but I imagine there at least some safety gain, as well.
Oklahoma Blood Institute has found an easier way to keep track of blood donors using advanced technology. OBI now uses Bio-key technology which provides a donor biometric fingerprint identification. In order to give blood, soon all donors will need is their finger to check in.
Tuesday OBI hosted a blood drive at WinStar Casino in Thackerville and employees were the first to enroll in the new Bio-key system.
"The efficiency of it all is worth any of the initial trouble of going through the biometric screening process it's all really easy, and as forgetful as am I need all the help I can get in keeping track of that stuff so it helps immensely" said WinStar poker room manager, Jay Wiles.
