Buffalo Grove, IL, , 2015 – Healthcare-ID, Inc., announces release of Donor-IDTM with capability to input data from the HemoFlow 400XS whole blood monitor and mixer. “We are very pleased at the ease of working with ASI, and think the project is very worthwhile. Several of our current Donor-IDTM customers are eager to use this new feature.” said Steve Sadorf, Vice President of Quality, Human Resource, and Finance.
Healthcare systems strive to become more efficient and effective by connecting data from disparate devices and systems; however, they often fall short due to the inability of device manufacturers to partner on such efforts. Healthcare-ID has always used technological advances to streamline the blood donation process and is now taking the next steps to become an aggregator of data and allowing connected devices to be more effective. “We are excited to include importing of the HemoFlow 400XS collection record as part of our donation record.” said Rick Stone, CEO.
Customers continue to tell us that they want to keep existing devices and systems and have them talk with one another. As we share the news of our partnership with Healthcare-ID, customers are thrilled that we are bringing them a meaningful solution with the HemoFlow 400XS data and Donor-IDTM. We looking forward to an ongoing partnership with Healthcare-ID, Inc.” said James Bancroft, Director of Product Management at ASI.
