The computerization of blood transfusion in these 21 hospitals is part of the Assistance Publique – Hopitaux de Paris (AP-HP’s) ‘Clinical Information System’ project, which will install an electronic medical records System (EMR) and ancillary systems in each of the establishments. This multi-million Euro award is led by Agfa Healthcare, which directs the consortium that also includes Cap Gemini, HP, Oracle and Global Med-Inlog.
EdgeTrack will ensure the complete tracking of blood products with real time communication with the computerized Agfa EMR System, Orbis. The application will interface with the French Blood Establishment which is also equipped with the Global Med-Inlog complete blood management solution, EdgeBlood. All 2.2 million units of blood collected in France are processed by the EdgeBlood product, marketed as ‘CTS Serveur’ in France.
Thomas Marcinek, president and COO of Global Med Technologies, said: We are honored to be part of one of the largest healthcare information technology projects in Europe, and to have been chosen to collaborate on this ambitious project by such an elite group of healthcare technology companies as Agfa and Cap Gemini. We look forward to supporting AP-HP facilities with quality products and services as they continue to provide excellent, advanced healthcare to patients and the Paris community.
