Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center Selects HemaTerra’s Blood Order Management System

The HemaControl blood order management system was selected by and is now supporting Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center and its more than 170 hospitals and healthcare institutions in 26 Texas counties. The Blood Center is one of the many top blood supply organizations that have chosen the HemaControl blood order management system for its intuitive design, streamlined workflow and full integration with inventory management, product QC and recruitment. Integration of key blood center operational areas is essential for complete supply chain management and controlling costs. The Blood Center has branded the system to its users as “Customer Connect,” emphasizing the accessibility of information.

HemaControl’s blood order management system forms a critical link between blood centers and their hospital partners, as well as other healthcare facilities, to ensure comprehensive oversight of all blood orders and real-time status along any point from order entry to delivery confirmation. The outcomes along every point in the process can prompt correlating activity updates and adjustments to inventory, product QC and recruitment, when integrated with other HemaTerra products. Similarly, an influx in hospital demand or a rare specialty order will be paired against inventory and/or initiate an appropriate response in recruitment.

Todd Collins, president and CEO of HemaTerra Technologies said, “To have a recognized industry leader like Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center adopt the HemaControl system, and especially the blood order management module above all others, is a great compliment to both HemaTerra and the industry partners who collaborated in its direction. The fullness of HemaControl and its integration with our other operational systems reinforce collaborated workflow, complete supply chain management and lower operational costs.”

The HemaControl blood order management system works in conjunction with the larger blood center ecosystem. HemaControl assembles important information – hospital needs, operations planning, inventory, recruitment, product manufacturing and quality control – to close “gaps” that can form in operations. Like other HemaTerra products, HemaControl’s blood order management system is easy to implement, extremely reliable and very affordable.
