Canberra-based Citadel Health, which markets the Auslab laboratory information system used by several state-based public pathology services, has signed an agreement with radio frequency identification company HealthRFID to build a bi-directional interface between Auslab and HealthRFID's solution for blood tracking.
Called ControlPoint, the blood product tracking and transfusion solution ensures that blood products are properly tracked and recorded at every step of the process, from donation of the blood product from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service (ARCBS) to the transfusion of the products to a patient.
