Advice on SafeTrace & Epic & Vision


Recommended Posts

I recently dealt with an upgrade to Epic/Beaker:  I found the validation to be sketchy when it came to integration with the blood bank system (HCLL).  A bigger problem was the time it took BBIS results to populate in EPIC.  I also found that there were inconsistencies in training and actually program development for the Nursing on line transfusion: ordering and infusion, esp w the operating suite.  If I had not left I was tempted to report to the FDA.  Was unable to have access to the intersystem validations.  I was told they were done but from the way the systems interacted I wanted to see the actual data . . .  not forthcoming.  I know folks who love EPIC/Beaker - my situation may have been an anomaly . . .

I agree with you David. When it comes to validation data involving EPIC...there is always this answer which i do not agree and i can see as a blood banker we do not agree with it was done...:show us the document , if you it is not documented it is not done, right!".......BUT some fights are not worth... Let the STATE or FDA or... cite them and then it will change...
