Samaritan Hospital is upgrading its blood bank from paper records
to an automated transfusion management system in conjunction with
an initiative to automate the entire hospital. SafeTrace Tx will
communicate with Good Samaritan's new Orchard laboratory
information system (LIS) to allow the blood bank and other
departments throughout the hospital to share patient information
quickly and easily. SafeTrace Tx is transfusion management software
which provides comprehensive tracking of orders, specimens, blood
products, derivatives, and accessories with a complete testing and
transfusion history in one consolidated record. These complex
features will assist Good Samaritan's technologists in selecting
appropriate blood products for their patients and help to reduce
waste and increase efficiency. Steven Jones, B.S. MT(ASCP),
Laboratory Director for Good Samaritan Hospital, stated, "Ease of
use and confidence in the product were the top reasons for choosing
SafeTrace Tx. We wanted to streamline our process and SafeTrace Tx
will allow our staff to access critical patient information in one
convenient location without switching to multiple screens. Fewer
screens equal savings in time and money for our department." Mr.
Jones continued, "We were also attracted to Wyndgate's product
because of the Company's reputation in the industry for delivering
good products and service. It was impressive that SafeTrace Tx was
developed by medical technologists who understand our processes and
our challenges. We will be using PeopleMed's validation services to
go live sooner and achieve a higher level of quality control and
risk management." Wm. Scott Dustin, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing for Global Med Technologies, commented, "We are happy to
be working with Good Samaritan Hospital to automate their blood
bank. The inventory features in SafeTrace Tx will allow Good
Samaritan to utilize computer systems to help reduce errors in the
lab as well as accurately track blood distribution throughout their
facility. Good Samaritan decided on SafeTrace Tx early in their
process because of Wyndgate's experience in converting paper
records to an automated system, as well as our prior success
interfacing with Orchard systems." About Good Samaritan Hospital
