PHOENIX, Feb. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BloodHub, the nation's dominant supply chain ecosystem, today announced that Miller-Keystone Blood Center (MKBC) has chosen BloodRelay® v1.1.0 (BloodRelay) to help automate its Immunohematology Reference Lab (IRL).
Miller-Keystone Blood Center's desire to automate the workflows within the reference lab made BloodRelay the perfect addition to their already expansive BloodHub suite of products. MKBC has adopted BloodHub technology to increase efficiency, improve hospital satisfaction and reduce costs. Adding BloodRelay for its IRL is a natural choice to allow for a reduction in errors while increasing staff productivity.
"Our top priority has always been safety," says Rami Nemeh, COO at Miller-Keystone Blood Center. "BloodRelay's highly configurable system allows us to create and manage our documentation to increase safety while fostering staff productivity."
BloodRelay helps automate IRL workflows including patient and sample management, testing and reporting. BloodRelay's flexible setup allows users to configure patient records to capture the information the IRL requires. Tracking sample data with flexible, user-defined fields and enabling tests that mirror existing workflows allows for optimal efficiency. Two-way integration when you import the lab service order from BloodHub and export preliminary and final reports creates a paperless process with traceability and trackability to aid in efficiency and cost containment.
Michael Pandelakis, BloodHub CEO added, "Miller-Keystone's commitment to safety makes BloodRelay a logical next step in workflow automation. Our continued partnership with MKBC is a true testament to their goal of improving their service to both their hospital customers and their patients."
