The Children’s Hospital of Alabama Selects Mobile Aspects Integrated Tissue Tracking Solution

Innovative Tissue Tracking System “iRISecure” Leverages RFID to Securely Store and Track Implantable Tissue Across Multiple Locations

PITTSBURGH--()--In an effort to insure JCAHO compliance and continue its tradition of providing the highest quality of care to its young patients, the Children’s Hospital of Alabama has purchased the iRISecure tissue tracking system from Mobile Aspects. The hospital is the flagship of the Children’s Health System, a statewide network of pediatric primary care practices, outpatient clinics, outpatient surgery and diagnostic centers.

Located in Birmingham and licensed for 275 beds, Children’s is the only freestanding pediatric hospital in Alabama and the 10th busiest pediatric medical center in the U.S. Children’s is also the primary site for all pediatric medical education programs and patient care activities through an affiliation with UAB and the University Of Alabama School Of Medicine.

Children’s was looking for one solution which could securely store, track and provide accurate logs to meet JCAHO compliance regulations for both frozen and ambient tissues. Additionally, the goal was to track all tissue across both of its hospital sites from one central location.

iRISecure uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) enabled secure storage and locking units combined with powerful software to document and track each implants entire life cycle, from arrival to use in surgery. Planned integrations with ADT scheduling systems will allow real time data regarding joint commission compliance, inventory levels and implant statuses from multiple facilities to be viewed from one central station.
