SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Champion’s tissue management software will assist Natividad in meeting The Joint Commission’s regulatory requirements on tissue management. This software will help improve patient safety related to implanted tissue management procedures in Natividad’s operating room. Currently, the operating room staff use a paper trail system that is not a best practice for hospital operating rooms. This software will help track tissues from the point of entry into Natividad until it is implanted into a patient. This software will also help Natividad track reactions patients may experience after having received the transplanted tissue.
