1. Historically speaking, what is the scope of the operation at Cape Cod Healthcare (Cape Cod Hospital & Falmouth Hospital)?
The scope is one of a small hospital system of 340 beds. We use Assure-Trak® Batch to manage all non-patient specific Compounded Sterile Preparations (CSPs); we have used it to manage quarantined product waiting for release and also use the DSCSA solution (DSCSA Compliance as a Service), with Verify on Receipt® to be implemented shortly in both the acute care and retail service lines.
2. Please explain the motivating factors leading to the partnership with ConsortiEX, to implement the Assure-Trak® Compounding Management System?
Ernest Anderson introduced us to ConsortiEX about six years ago. We had been using a competing product from another vendor that did not have the scalability, customization, or level of support that ConsortiEX provides.
We brought on DSCSA Compliance as a Service at the same time - which has been fantastic. The products are well thought out, the implementation teams are easy to work with, and the support and follow-up after implementation has been superb. If we make recommendations to improve the software it doesn’t live on a list of things to consider, it gets acted on.
3. How has your facility used the Assure-Trak® Compounding Management System to improve operations at both Cape Cod hospital and Falmouth hospital?
Assure-Trak® really saved us during the Opioid syringe shortages of 2018, and for batched CSPs throughout COVID. Regardless of the product we were able to assure that a scalable and standardized process was consistently used for all CSPs. Read more >
