Medical informatics offers a number of tools that have the potential to drastically improve our understanding of hemorrhagic shock and effective use of MTP in the clinical setting. This review was conducted to identify and summarize current informatics solutions that could be employed to address knowledge deficits in this field and improve management of patients. Important themes that emerged were bedside-blood management system implementation to improve real-time blood product administration tracking, transfusion registry development to facilitate effectiveness analysis, predictive model generation to identify patient appropriateness and ideal blood component ratios/volumes, and clinical decision support tool integration to aid providers in complex decision
