PHOENIX, Jan.12, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BloodHub, the nation's dominant supply chain ecosystem, today announced that The Blood Connection (TBC) will use BloodRelay® v1.1.0 (BloodRelay) to help automate its Immunohematology Reference Lab (IRL).
The Blood Connection shares BloodHub's passion for paperless automation. TBC has repeatedly implemented technology to lower costs, improve hospital service, drive growth and expand geographic reach. In doing so, TBC successfully leveraged BloodHub's entire ecosystem of applications including Orders, Fulfillment, Logistics, and Billing. Adopting BloodRelay for its IRL is a natural progression of TBC's technology-centric strategy.
"Embracing BloodRelay will help our Reference Lab improve service to our valued hospitals and their patients," says Delisa English, CEO at The Blood Connection. "And TBC proudly supports BloodHub's ongoing commitment to innovation, including going paperless to help drive efficiencies and cost containment."
When fully implemented, BloodRelay will facilitate patient management, sample tracking, testing, crossmatching, and reports. BloodRelay's flexible setup adapts to existing reference lab workflows. Two-way integration with BloodHub ensures that inbound IRL orders seamlessly appear in BloodRelay, while outbound patient reports are securely published to the ordering hospital with a single click. Billing and quality control are also integrated into the process.
Michael Pandelakis, BloodHub CEO added, "The Blood Connection has an adaptable, growth-oriented culture which is fertile ground for innovation. Partnering with TBC will yield the insights needed to deliver on our mutual objective: better patient care."
