RFID & TrackCore – Join the Future of Innovation
On August 10, 2010, LPIT Solutions closed the TUG10 TrackCore User Group Conference by introducing the latest evolution of its market leading Implant and Tissue Tracking Software. TrackCore RFID and Mobile was introduced as a means that will further simplify and streamline the implant tracking process.
TrackCore has partnered with hardware vendor Informs, Inc ( http://www.informsinc.com/ ) and is piloting the new platform at the Cleveland Clinic’s ( http://www.clevelandclinic.org/ ) main campus. The application introduces Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) read/write capabilities, 1D/2D barcoding, touch screens and mobile device capabilities to reduce the keystrokes required to meet Joint Commission implant tracking documentation requirements and to simplify the overall process.
A new desktop based user interface utilizes the best features of kiosk style applications and applies it to the regulatory compliance and supply chain in healthcare environments. The TrackCore add-on works with customers’ existing web application data, enabling users to access TrackCore from either the software as a service (SaaS) web-based interface or from the RFID and Mobile interfaces. Those that had the opportunity to preview the application, at TUG10, found the user interface very user-friendly and viewed it as another significant step in streamlining the implant and tissue tracking process.
LPIT Solutions is currently in the pilot phase with The Cleveland Clinic, and will be looking for additional beta / pilot sites interested in implementing this solution in the very near future. Any existing or future customers interested in investigating this solution should contact LPIT Solutions at http://www.lpitsolutions.com/contact/contactform/sales/trackcore and join the future of innovation.

TrackCore 'Saving Time' at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children
"Our nurses are having no problems and loving TrackCore! The ability to scan barcodes saves time by allowing us to quickly enter long serial numbers in our charting system. We are also utilizing the temperature logging feature. The program is so user friendly because input was given by a person who is actually on the user end! Thank-you!"

TrackCore User Group 2010: 16 Hospitals Help Shape TrackCore
CLEVELAND, OH--The TrackCore User Group 2010 was held at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute in Cleveland, Ohio on August 8-10. TUG10 was designed to spark and facilitate innovation with regards to tissue & implant tracking, compliance and methodologies to make the process easier and more efficient.
The event sparked interest from around the country, including hospitals from Californa all the way to New Jersey. "The input from our customers is invaluable to us" says Brenda Vander Linden, Co-Chair TUG10, "especially from a usability standpoint. In addition to giving our users the opportunity to voice their opinion, it gave them tremendous insight into how other organizations are tracking tissue and ensuring compliance."
In addition to the educational sessions, there was a panel session, comprising of Susan Sable of St. Francis Medical Center, David Border of Penn State Hershey Medical Center, Shelly Bosworth of North Kansas City Hospital, Karen Graves of The Cleveland Clinic, and Terri Stec of Baystate Medical Center.
Participants also had the opportunity to hear from Dr. Thomas Bauer, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Bauer has given more than 150 invited lectures outside of Cleveland Clinic, and has served as a consultant and voting member to U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panels in two different divisions. He has published more than 225 manuscripts and book chapters. He is also Deputy Editor for Research for The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery.
The TrackCore User Group 2011 location and dates will be announced later this year.
