SafeTrace Tx, first introduced in 1999, is an industry leader in
transfusion management software. The system is 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 complex features will assist Schuylkill's
technologists in selecting appropriate blood products for their
patients and will allow their hospitals to access patient data from
any facility in their system. Cheryl Gipe, MLT (ASCP), MT (HEW)
Blood Bank Section Head for Schuylkill Medical Center-East
explained, "Schuylkill wanted a common transfusion management
system to monitor our blood banks and interface with our new CPSI
laboratory information system. CPSI referred us to Wyndgate and one
other vendor. In November 2008, after visiting a Wyndgate client to
see the system live, we knew within 15 minutes that we wanted the
Wyndgate SafeTrace Tx system. It is user friendly and has a great
tracking system." Ms. Gipe continued, "Our administration wanted
the system in our hospital live by July 1, 2009. A typical
implementation takes approximately nine months. With the help and
support of Wyndgate, CPSI and PeopleMed, we were able to accomplish
this in four months. Wyndgate's team worked very hard to make sure
we met the deadline. CPSI and Wyndgate made sure the interfaces
worked properly and PeopleMed validated the system prior to
go-live. I cannot say enough good things about the service we
received." PeopleMed's validation services provided Schuylkill
staff with AVI validation files in addition to their regular
documentation after the go-live. The video files show PeopleMed
staff performing the actual processes used during Schuylkill's
validation. These files will become invaluable training tools later
when their staff needs to understand specific procedures. Wm. Scott
Dustin, Global Med's Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing -
the Americas, commented, "Schuylkill, Wyndgate and PeopleMed staffs
worked together well to accomplish this impressive time line. We
are very pleased that Schuylkill had the confidence in our products
and our ability to deliver their system on time. We look forward to
working with Schuylkill to complete implementations in their other
facilities. We also appreciate our great relationship with CPSI."
Mr. Dustin continued, "Global Med companies offer clients far more
than quality information systems. As a business solutions company,
we provide our clients with solutions and resources to help them
achieve their objectives. Our team of professionals is dedicated to
providing service at the highest level. We believe our business
units continue to grow as a direct result of this commitment to the
customer and delivering outstanding results." About Schuylkill
