Vedant Automates Blood Bank System Validations
Integrated System Speeds Traditional Manual Process, Delivers Immediate ROI
(firmenpresse) - NEWBURYPORT, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/17/11 -- , the leading provider of integrated testing, risk management, and quality governance solutions for healthcare information systems, today released a requirements-based validation service to ensure healthcare organizations meet stringent blood blank specifications. Vedant has integrated the validation service with ®, its automated testing solution in use by thousands of healthcare providers, to automate and eliminate the limitations of the traditional manual process, and provide documentation linked to the requirements mandated by regulatory organizations such as AABB, CAP, FDA and ISBT.
"While blood bank transfusion and donor systems continue to improve in capability, the ability to monitor and document the safety of these systems has not kept pace, increasing the risk of errors and patient injury. New functionalities, including multiple-facility differentiating logic and flexible order catalogs, are rarely overseen through traditional, manual validation practices using testing scripts," said Scott Almeda, CEO of Vedant. "Our TestStream-based validation technology is a comprehensive approach to these issues, and can deliver substantial ROI on its first deployment and application."
"Vedant's automated approach is long overdue, protecting the best interests of hospitals and patients alike, and is unrivaled in its capability. Not only does this integrated TestStream system automate the manual process that can take months, it can typically complete the task in one month, delivering fast ROI, and freeing IT staff and blood bank validation IT consultants to work on other projects," said Janelle Joseph, MT (ASPC) at Vedant. Joseph has years of experience in blood bank systems, having worked for system vendors, and overseen many instances of implementation.
TestStream Speeds Complete System Validation
TestStream automates the extraction of all system data and settings for patient/unit compatibility and interpretations. With this requirements-based validation, documentation is provided that links the validation steps to specific requirements. In addition, all system functions -- from patient admission, orders, test and results to blood product entry, testing, allocation and issue -- can be tested, using scenarios customized according to clients' specific procedures and workflows. Furthermore, these scenarios can be readily re-used to test future patches and upgrades. Validation results are fully documented with screenshots of all steps and pass/fail reports, and a defect tracking system that helps clients prioritize and manage issues for remediation.
TestStream automation easily integrates across best-of-breed IT environments, giving laboratory, IT and risk management staff critical, continuous assurance of the quality and stability of their healthcare information system, regardless of interfaces and modification scale or frequency. This can drastically cut the time to complete system validation from two to four months to four to six weeks.
