| English abstract | The situation of the Brazilian Bone Marrow Donor Program (Redome) faces several difficulties. It is necessary to increase the number of volunteer donors and also optimize the research and the communications between all the institutions involved. Information of the Brazilian bone marrow donors undergoes many steps before its registration in Redome, which demands too much time. Moreover, all the process is susceptible to human error, privacy problems and high costs. The staff of the Immunogenetics and Histocompatibility Laboratory (LIGH) of the Genetics Department of the Federal University of Paraná proposes a solution that is already functioning within the state. The software called Sistema LIGH is an Internet based database that can be easily accessed by any computer with access to the web. The adoption of a unique system that creates a fast interface between the information of the volunteer donors and Redome is crucial to co-ordinate all the effort to change this reality. Using the Sistema LIGH each one of the institutions involved in the donor program may add and consult the information that belongs to an individual institution. The system is based on freeware and makes mobile on-line action (donor drives) possible, as well as standardizes the information format and offers data security. The present communication proposes the official adoption of the Sistema LIGH software in order to optimize the information flow between the Redome and all the other institutions involved, and certainly the patients who are waiting for a transplant will be the greatest beneficiaries |
