We, Parham Doctors’ Hospital, a campus of Henrico Doctors’ Hospital, went on line with TTC in September of 2008. The transition to the use of TTC has been a very rewarding experience. TTC has been there all the way in helping us ‘go live’. They have continued to help and are always available when questions come up. During the last three reviews that we have had with TJC or PPR surveyors, we always had an issue that was not up to standards. Because of TTC’s expertise and assistance, we had an outstanding review. The surveyor was very impressed that we had been ‘on line’ since September. She had suggestions that we might consider, such as sending physicians follow-up letters. She was very pleased to see that we were already doing this. Having this template in the TTC database makes this so much easier.

The staff have also adjusted to the documentation so much easier than they thought they would. Alan came down one day to help orient the staff and they said that his explanation of the system helped them so much. As a result, the tracking of tissue has become so much easier and, I feel, more complete.

I now feel that the safety of the patient receiving tissue has been upgraded to another level.

"...we had a 'mock' JCAHO inspection and one of the first things they asked to see was our tissue tracking system. I was able to easily show how our tissues are documented through log in to implantation. The examiner seemed impressed with our system, taking notes, including getting the TrackCore name. I felt very confident with the organized information that I was able to provide. This will be one less anxiety when the actual JCAHO inspection occurs. "

With regards to feedback received at a recent Joint Commission reaccreditation survey, “The physician surveyor remarked that he was ‘extremely impressed with the on-line tissue tracking program’ and particularly liked our ability to quickly display the detail around all of the tissue samples in our program. He mentioned that the functionality provided by Tissue TrackCore was ‘very impressive’ and that it was instrumental in assuring our compliance to the applicable standards.

We are completely satisfied customers of your product.”

"We are totally satisfied with Tissue TrackCore! This application has saved us many hours while managing our human tissues and has removed the stress associated with JCAHO compliance."

"Tissue TrackCore has definitely made tracking our tissue easier, and I really like the idea of scanning the tissue from MTF and all the fields are populated. We love it!"
