Name your block, like this:
    #+name: my_result
    #+begin_src sh
    echo hello
    #+end_src

When you evaluate it, you'll get this:

    #+name: my_result
    #+begin_src sh
    echo hello
    #+end_src

    #+RESULTS: my_result
    : hello

Then you can use the result like this:

    #+begin_src sh :var value=my_result
    echo $value
    #+end_src

    #+RESULTS:
    : hello
