Automated\u202fdonor referrals help improve patient care and\u202foptimize\u202fhospital resources\u202f<\/i>\u202f<\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES<\/span>, Nov. 4, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Transplant Connect<\/a><\/u>, a Los Angeles<\/span>-based medical software company that has introduced innovative new technology known as iReferralSM<\/sup>, and Cerner\u202fCorporation<\/a><\/u>, a global healthcare technology company, announce their new collaboration to enable automated donor referrals. This new technology is designed to help increase and expedite potential organ, tissue and eye donor referrals to increase recipient matches, lessen missed opportunities for timely donation and reduce the number of hours caregivers spend on the donor referral process. This automation is especially critical during the COVID-19 pandemic as intensive-care units are overburdened.<\/p>\n

“This integration is a prime example of how health systems can talk to one another, which helps eliminate manual bottlenecks that drain time and resources,” said Sam Lambson<\/span>, Cerner Vice President of Interoperability. “Our goal is to provide resources that not only help doctors and nurses deliver more efficient, better care, but improve the lives of their patients. Simplifying the transplant process helps everyone at every stage.”<\/p>\n
