Seattle, WA. – August 25, 2008 – Eoscene Corporation, the industry leading provider of eCMS™compliance management service, today announced the availability of its new integrated monitoring solution AssureTemp™, a wireless temperature monitoring and alarm system for health care providers.�AssureTemp™ is a complementary add–on to Eoscene’s eCMS™, which provides up to 50 times more temperature readings a day over manual methods, improving quality control and visibility.�This is especially important when monitoring high value or high risk medications, tissues, vaccines and nutritional products.
Currently many organizations require their staff members to manually collect data from the refrigerators, freezers, and other units used to store medication, blood and chemicals. Not only is this practice fraught with numerous problems, but it relies heavily upon human memory and a staff already working at their capacity.�Common errors in handling temperature sensitive materials include, inaccurate or missed temperature readings, inadvertently leaving the unit door open, not documenting corrective actions taken, and lost or discarded temperature logs.
Inaccurate reporting and the potential neglect of a failing unit can be extremely costly from not only a compliance standpoint but from the financial impact stemming from the loss of product.It is not uncommon for a hospital to experience inventory losses in excess of $100,000 per year. �Improper refrigeration accounts for a significant portion of the $20 million in losses incurred annually by the federal Vaccines for Children program.�
AssureTemp™ provides 24 x7 automated temperature monitoring, ensuring the highest possiblequality information on devices that store medications or vaccinations, tissues or blood, thus improving quality, reducing inventory loss, compliance risk and saving staff time.�Adoption of Eoscene’s AssureTemp™ grew at a monthly rate of over 100% during the second quarter of 2008.
“We listened to the needs of our customers, practitioners and partners, who expressed a pressing need to reduce the workload of the patient care staff, while maintaining high quality standards and level of compliance.�Our temperature monitoring solution had to be cost effective and support both automated and manual data collection.” explains Geof Griebel, Eoscene’s President & COO “We’re delivering a cost effective monitoring solution that can be deployed quickly using the existing wireless infrastructure. AssureTemp™ is a powerful complement to our eCMS™compliance service and supports our corporate mission to provide cost effective solutions that increase compliance, reduce risk and improve patient care.”
Eoscene’s eCMS™ with AssureTemp™ combines regulatory content, process management, real-time reporting and now, automated equipment monitoring, into a single unique software offering designed to reduce the possibility that a critical task goes unperformed, providing immediate visibility to areas of risk and opportunity for improvement.
