The Cardiac Transplant solution is an integrated part of LUMEDX's comprehensive suite of cardiovascular imaging and information management tools. This robust integration produces a comprehensive patient record as heart center staff can seamlessly access, view, and manage all events that have occurred across the cardiovascular service line.

The Cardiac Transplant Module also allows the heart transplant center to track all donation offers and actual donor information for each patient, enabling the center to meet government record-keeping requirements. By automating, structuring and streamlining the process to collect information and record results, heart transplant centers can track, understand, and manage outcomes, as well as document quality of performance to patients, physicians, hospital administration, insurance carriers, and government.

Benefits:

-- Helps automate and streamline workflow to track both recipients and donor information -fully integrated solution decreases data entry and manual search efforts

-- Improves patient safety and decision-making -all recipient information is available in one central location for easy access by physicians and staff

-- Helps satisfy government regulations for tracking and documenting all donation offers

"LUMEDX's Cardiac Transplant Module enhances workflow, promotes data quality, and simplifies processing of UNOS and CTRD Registry information," explains Nancy Long, Director of Cardiac OR and Transplant, for Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute. "Data is entered once in the system and integrates with other data found across the CV service line, helping to eliminate redundant data entry and manual errors, while supporting clinical research and patient care. It also produces downloadable forms for UNOS and CTRD Registry. LUMEDX carefully listened to our needs and performed as a true partner in helping deliver a Cardiac Transplant solution robust enough to meet our demands for today and for the future."

According to LUMEDX Director of Product Management Rhonda Staton, "Our comprehensive CV service line data collection tool for cardiac transplant substantially reduces the burden of meeting documentation requirements. Data is collected, stored, and accessed electronically in one place. Also, data that is entered once in the system can be reused over and over, providing multiple benefits to the cardiac transplant program and heart center."
