“The biggest thing I took from TUG10 was learning ways to streamline our process. We had not started the pre-receiving process before TUG10, and I was very apprehensive about the potential for issues we could encounter. We implemented a couple of weeks after returning and have not had any issues. We pre-receive all tissue through our loading dock now and it has been a smooth transition/addition to our chain of custody.”

Congratulations to TrackCore’s “Most Wired” customers
LPIT Solutions wishes to congratulate several of its TrackCore customers who were named to the 2011 “Most Wired” listing by Hospitals and Health Networks. The survey conducted in early 2011 asked hospitals and health systems to respond on their IT department’s initiatives.

University of Missouri Successfully Goes “Live” with TrackCore
The University of Missouri Health System has successfully launched LPIT’s TrackCore at three facilities with the Orthopaedic Institute being the first site live and now enjoying their first 6 months on TrackCore.
Columbia Regional Hospital, the Orthopaedic Institute and the University Hospital are now on the path to total compliance with the standards set forth by the Joint Commission.
The University’s medical experts have found the transition to tracking implants and tissue via technology easy. There are no more tedious forms to write on or paper copies to file. TrackCore does it all, providing electronic forms and storing data in a system with point and click accessibility.
The University chose to interface their Cerner SurgiNet EHR with LPIT’s TrackCore software by using Lawson’s Cloverleaf Secure Courier to send HL7 messages between the two programs.
