After evaluating several systems, CMH made the decision that SafeTrace Tx* offered the specific capabilities needed to support the hospital's current and future growth. "Deciding to move away from our previous vendor was significant, since we had worked with them for many years. However, during our evaluation process, we found that Wyndgate's SafeTrace Tx system offered a number of advantageous features. These features include better compatibility with our existing IT infrastructure, a number of beneficial safety features, fast and easy access to important patient information through Wyndgate's Patient-At-A-Glance Bar(TM), and ISBT 128 blood labeling capabilities," stated Clayton Johnson, Laboratory Director at CMH. "We plan to move to the ISBT 128 standard this coming fall and our transfusion service has grown considerably since expanding the hospital's cancer care with the recent purchase of a linear accelerator." Mr. Johnson continued, "We believe that the SafeTrace Tx system can grow with us. We look forward to implementing the system in the hospital and using it to provide the best advantage to our physicians and patients." "Caldwell Memorial Hospital is committed to meeting the health needs of its community with high-quality care and the best medical technology available. It is an honor to have been selected by such an upstanding hospital. We look forward to working with the hospital's staff and providing them with the best quality products and services we can offer," responded Noah Bentley, Sr., Director of Marketing at Wyndgate Technologies.
