By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 17 Mar 2009
The newest edition of a blood bank software application incorporates enhanced functionality for patient safety and is a key component of an integrated closed-loop blood-administration system.

As part of the end-to-end patient-safety solution for blood administration, Blood Bank is fully integrated with positive patient ID specimen collection and transfusion management components. More...
Users report that collection and administration errors are reduced to zero when using the system and workflow-process improvements expedite the time to diagnosis and treatment by decreasing the sample-collection and result reporting turnaround times.

Sunquest Information Systems, Inc., (Tucson, AZ, USA), a leader in laboratory and diagnostic information systems, announced that it received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Rockville, MD, USA) for the new blood bank software application.

Kelly Feist, vice president of marketing and product management, Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. commented, "Our blood administration system demonstrates how information technology can help healthcare organizations achieve compliance with industry standards while making lab processes more efficient and of highest quality."

Sunquest Information Systems, Inc. is a leader in laboratory and diagnostic information solutions.
