Strouse MCT(ASCP), Blood Bank Coordinator for Laurens County Health
System, stated, "Our department was looking for an electronic
system to manage our transfusion service. With the ISBT 128
labeling standard, our manual methods to track products were
cumbersome at best. A managed system will be safer for our patients
than hand generating the long ISBT label codes. SafeTrace Tx
supports ISBT and will also allow us to track the products
electronically and generate our reports much easier." Ms. Strouse
continued, "We were impressed by the features we were shown in the
onsite demonstration. SafeTrace Tx looked easy to use and was able
to interface with our laboratory information system. We felt that
the system would allow us to transition easily from a paper
environment to an electronic department." 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 features will assist Laurens County
Health System's blood bank in selecting suitable blood products for
their patients, help to reduce waste, and increase efficiency in
their blood bank. Wm. Scott Dustin, Senior Vice President of Sales
and Marketing for Global Med Technologies, commented, "We are very
pleased to be working with Laurens County to implement our
electronic hospital transfusion system. In today's financial
environment, cost savings are vital to the survival of many
organizations. Global Med companies are adding new products and
continually improving our existing systems to help healthcare
organizations perform more efficiently, reduce waste and improve
their patient care. SafeTrace Tx has many features which assist
organizations in accomplishing these goals." About Laurens County
