Sounds like an ideal candidate for an OOP approach. There 
are lots of objects involved - patients, transfusions, 
units, appointments, tasks, all sorts...

No UML sits above OOP. Although it originated in the OO 
community it can be used for non OO approaches or even 
projects where no software is involved at all.

Absolutely, Usecases do not even have a strong link to UML!
