Mediware Information Systems has announced that the Blood Bank of Alaska is the latest blood center to license LifeTrak, the company’s 510(k) cleared blood donor management software.
Using LifeTrak, the blood center plans to integrate core software systems, launch an additional mobile unit and increase the number of collection machines, to help the center to collect more blood products. Reportedly, the blood center plans to launch additional Mediware technologies, such as RecruitTrak, to help the blood center offer incentive programs to current donors.
Margaret Baker, COO of Blood Bank of Alaska, said: LifeTrak is a part of an expansion strategy that will help our teams, processes and technology operate at top performance to achieve our five year strategic goals. It is a modern technology platform that allows us to expand services in our lab, integrate key systems and bring together complex processes that are critical to our organisation.
A benefit of having Mediware as our core technology is the fact that we can deploy additional software products to increase our capabilities and broaden our donor recruiting and retention programs. These will be critical to expanding our reach and enhancing future growth.
The company said that LifeTrak is a 510(k) cleared donor management system that manages donor eligibility, manufacturing and distribution for many of the blood suppliers, testing facilities, centralized transfusion services (CTS) and large hospital donor programs.
LifeTrak 4.0 delivers flexibility through a web based deployment. LifeTrak 4.x is a newly developed US Biovigilance Network which tracks blood collections and use.
Mediware’s Blood Center Technologies group provides blood centers the first integrated solution offering that spans from donor recruitment to distribution. As web based products, Mediware BCT offerings are flexibly offered individually or as an integrated platform.
