TrackCore: A System that 'Makes Sense'

“I had an awesome experience with the training and use of TrackCore. The training given to us was thorough and concise without being overwhelming. Our staff is using the system and I have heard very few complaints about learning another computer system because it is so intuitive. At a glance I can see what has been used and what needs reordering. Since our billing staff also has access to the system, I feel we are incurring fewer lost charges. Thank you for making TrackCore a system that 'makes sense'.”

LPIT Solutions – In the News

Have you ever “Googled" your own name or organization? We recently did just that at LPIT and here are some of the interesting links and newsy tidbits that we discovered.

First is LPIT’s partnership with The Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, which began in September of 2007. Fast forward to 2009 when Rapid Growth Media covered LPIT’s development of TrackCore, and then Censis Technologies announced the strategic alliance LPIT formed with them in early 2009.

The most recent search results concern LPIT winning the GLITR “Reinvented Company of the Year” award in September of 2010, and LPIT‘s latest partnership which was formed last October with Amerinet, a leading healthcare group purchasing organization.

St Joseph's Hospital & Medical Center Recommends TUG

“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.”
