Hospital Partners of America (HPA) is implementing Wyndgate's

first licensed the SafeTrace Tx system for its Twelve Oaks Medical
Center facility, which is also located in Houston. When St.
Joseph's Medical Center learned that it would need to purchase a
new blood bank system because its existing system was being
discontinued, HPA licensed SafeTrace Tx based on the success and
satisfaction with the system at Twelve Oaks Medical Center.
"SafeTrace Tx has been installed at Hospital Partners of America's
Twelve Oaks Medical Center for over two years now and we have been
very happy with its performance. SafeTrace Tx provides
comprehensive management and tracking of patients and blood
products, including many built-in safety features. Our past
experience has proven that Wyndgate Technologies is a solid,
reliable company and that SafeTrace Tx is a quality system," stated
Cheryl Cook, Corporate Director of Application Services, Hospital
Partners of America. Ms. Cook continued, "We have been particularly
impressed with Wyndgate's willingness to work with us given the
short time-frame we have to replace our old blood bank system at
St. Joseph's Medical Center. We have purchased extra services, and
Wyndgate has been incredibly responsive and supportive. SafeTrace
Tx will enhance the efficiency of the transfusion service at St.
Joseph's Medical Center and help us to provide high quality
services and blood products to our patients. All in all, we are
happy to be working with Wyndgate on another project." Wm. Scott
Dustin, VP of Sales and Marketing at Wyndgate, commented on the St.
Joseph's Medical Center implementation stating, "Hospital Partners
of America and Wyndgate Technologies share a mutual commitment to
providing high-quality, patient focused healthcare to the
communities they serve. It is rewarding to have organizations such
as HPA return to Wyndgate to meet their blood bank management
needs. Their repeat business speaks to the quality of our products
and services, and reinforces our position as a leading supplier of
blood banking software." About HPA Hospital Partners of America
