The whole process from signing in, answering the screening questions and the actual blood collection process takes me about 45-50 minutes.
What is interesting to me is how the screening technology has changed in the past few years. It used to be a paper questionnaire. Now up here in the Chicago area, the screening questions are answered on a tablet. |
One Blood has tablets, too. They have 49 questions on them. Some of these are quite personal.
The change to tablets happened a year or two ago.
