Tiffany K. Martin, Laboratory Director for West Calcasieu Cameron
Hospital, stated, "After converting our lab from paper processes to
the Orchard Harvest laboratory information system (LIS) four years
ago, our administration recognized the need for a robust
transfusion management system to manage our blood bank. We
discovered that Wyndgate's SafeTrace Tx interfaced well with
Orchard and with McKesson, our hospital information system vendor."
Ms. Martin continued, "Quality is the most important aspect for us
in our lab. We were concerned about the numerous areas in the
process where errors could be life-threatening. With automated
systems such as SafeTrace Tx, built-in safety features and hard
stops are typically available to help us detect and avoid errors.
We were also excited about the ease of use and efficiencies built
into the system, such as the Patient-At-A-Glance Bar(R), which
allows us to view critical patient information in one location
without pulling up charts." SafeTrace Tx is a blood management
software system designed to raise the standard of care for
patients, improve safety, reduce waste and increase efficiency.
SafeTrace Tx provides comprehensive tracking of orders, specimens,
blood products, derivatives, and accessories with a complete
testing and transfusion history in one consolidated record. These
features allow a blood bank to choose appropriate blood products
for therapy and track those blood products from their origin to the
intended patient. Wm. Scott Dustin, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing at Wyndgate Technologies, commented, "We are pleased to
have been chosen to assist West Cal Cam with converting their blood
bank from paper to SafeTrace Tx. The efficiencies that will be
created after implementing the system will help West Cal Cam
realize cost savings in the department, streamline processes and
provide better tracking of blood products. Secure tracking and
safety features in SafeTrace Tx will assist in making it easier for
their technicians to select appropriate blood products for their
patients, with the goal of enhancing the level of patient care."
