The health center, which has been named four times as one of the nation's Most Wired small and rural hospitals, is currently working on a project to become an all digital hospital. Included in this project is updating the center's blood bank tracking system with the SafeTrace Tx system. Additionally, with the other departments of Skaggs switching to a digital platform, the blood bank will be able to share information within the center much more easily -- enhancing patient care. "Wyndgate has a strong presence in the blood bank automation industry and a long history of providing systems with favorable functionalities including ease of integration with other application systems. This kind of reputation, coupled with a willingness to work with us in meeting our objectives, were important factors in the decision to select Wyndgate as our new vendor on this project," commented Randall Matney, Project Manager, Information Technology at Skaggs Community Health Center. He continued, "We look forward to having Wyndgate's SafeTrace Tx system assist us in sharing information, improving safety, boosting accountability, increasing efficiency and creating a better overall work environment and care environment at Skaggs Community Health Center."
