NHS no longer uses post-it notes for heart transplants The NHS no longer uses post-it notes and whiteboards to arrange life-saving heart transplants for patients, it has emerged.
Instead of relying on the traditional methods, it has adopted new digital technology which can match donors and recipients in just six seconds.
The pioneering system is 300 times faster, experts claim, and has removed around 40 lengthy steps from the matching process.
Experts have hailed the 'groundbreaking' technology used by the NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) and said it will 'ultimately save more lives'.
The world first system has already helped at least one patient get a new heart. It is expected to be rolled out across the board in the coming years. The Daily Mail
