McAlester Regional Health Center of McAlester, Oklahoma has launched new  transfusion management software.

SafeTrace Tx, developed by Global Med Technologies, Inc., is a transfusion management software designed to raise the standard of care for patients, improve safety, reduce waste and increase efficiency in transfusion services and hospital blood banks. 

Global Med Technology officials said SafeTrace Tx is expected to provide McAlester Regional Health Center with comprehensive tracking of orders, specimens, blood products, derivatives, and accessories, with a complete testing and transfusion history in one consolidated record.  These features will help guide blood bank technicians in selecting appropriate blood products for therapy and track those blood products from their origin to the intended patient.

Wm. Scott Dustin, Global Med's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, the Americas, commented, "Global Med's transfusion software has been used by many of the country's leading hospitals and transfusion services for over ten years.  Our close relationship with our clients allows us to continually improve our products to keep in front of their needs, as evidenced by the many enhancements to the system's performance in our newest release, SafeTrace Tx 3.5.  We look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship with McAlester Regional Health Center."
