Collaborative Communication Tools for Transplant Care Teams

Eliminating Barriers to Effective Communication

Communication flows forward, backwards and sideways in all organizations, including cell therapy and solid organ transplant centers. The benefits of effective interdisciplinary communication include improved patient outcomes, increased patient satisfaction (poor communication among providers can negatively impact a patient’s perception of care delivery), and increased healthcare savings (less wasted time).

Technology that coordinates workflows and stores transplant-specific data in one central, easily accessible place is key to effective interdisciplinary teamwork. Software tools that support consistent communication enable IDT members to be clear about their own and each other’s roles. Seeing the timing and results of each other’s work guides treatment planning, decision making, and care coordination.

Innovative Tools Simplify Implementation

Innovative, Automated Tools and Processes

EDITLife, the Transplant Management System vendor with the most advanced technologies, knows the challenges that implementation can present and how to mitigate them. Using EDITLife tools and processes, even the most complex implementation can realize success and return on investment in a reasonable amount of time. EDITLife’s innovative implementation software helps ensure that the process stays within the allotted budget and timeframe.

Implementation tools developed by the EDITLife team keep the process organized and efficient. MSA’s automated implementation tools track every task and every sub-task within each phase, displays percentage of tasks completed along with who completed each task and when, and more.

The Power of Integrating Cell Therapy Clinics & Stem Cell Processing Labs

The Benefits of a Unified Single Platform

Data silos often emerge in hospitals because each department has different goals, priorities, and responsibilities – and separate databases. Siloed systems curb efficiency and stifle collaboration, as well as increase the likelihood of miscommunications and critical information not reaching those who need it most.

A fully-integrated system that connects the cell therapy clinic and the stem cell processing lab helps both teams realize the full value of patient and product data. An application that integrates the two helps the center remain in compliance, streamline the reporting process, secure data, improve quality and efficiencies, and reduce IT time and costs.

LABHero justification meeting

Justification for Licensing EDITLife’s LABHero Module

For The Cell Processing Lab

Cell processing labs face an array of new and sometimes contradictory challenges, e.g., finding ways to increase quality while decreasing costs, and ensuring better product/patient outcomes despite increasing patient volume. LABHero, the EDITLife data and clinical workflow management system’s module for cell processing labs, addresses these challenges.

LABHero enables the cell processing lab to reap the many benefits of an automated and integrated software system. A justification that presents solid evidence of the software’s merit – including qualitative benefits such as streamlined operations and improved product safety – increases the likelihood of gaining approval for LABHero.

Justification for Licensing a Data and Clinical Workflow Management System

For Cell Therapy

Determining whether to move forward with licensing a new cell therapy data and clinical workflow management system is a decision that should only be made after knowing all the facts. Decision makers understandably want to see good reasons for implementing new software. Along with costs, tangible and intangible benefits should be presented for consideration.

Hospital Administrators often do not have full visibility into what the Cell Therapy Department has to go through to avoid costly mistakes, document critical key information not in the hospital EHR, and make the best possible decisions. Preparing a well thought-out justification that brings these points to their attention will increase the likelihood of approval.

Keeping Up With CAR-T

CAR-T Adoption is Not Without Challenges

CAR-T (T-cells expressing Chimeric Antigen Receptors) therapy has displayed significant success in treating patients with otherwise incurable B-cell lymphomas. The field is rapidly expanding to include new disease indications and CAR designs. CAR-T adoption, however, is not without challenges. The industry needs to learn as quickly as possible about all aspects of CAR-T.

The Center for Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) has expanded to capture CAR-T data for research purposes. Four new CAR-T forms have been created that can be electronically submitted. Six forms originally created for HCT have been modified to include CAR-T data. CIBMTR supports electronic form submission via its AGNIS interface.

EHRs Can Be A Big Miss

For Transplant/Infusion Centers

Quite often the school of thought has been that an EHR is a one-size fits all, silver bullet that will reduce costs, reduce errors, and increase productivity. It’s supposed to deliver everything to everyone in one system – with no need for ancillary solutions.

In theory, this should be true. However, for specialty departments like cell therapy and solid organ transplant centers, the required specific details are either not available or easily accessible within the encounter-based EHR. It’s becoming more and more apparent that ancillary solutions, such as data and clinical workflow management systems tightly interfaced to the EHR are required in order to fully support clinicians and program staff.
