At the Pat Tillman Foundation’s Pat’s Run 2014 in Tempe, Arizona, the Donor Network of Arizona put its Swipe to Donate Life mobile app to good use. Staff and volunteers were able to capture information from organ donor’s drivers licenses in just seconds by reading the barcode or magnetic stripe instead of using paper. As a result, they successfully captured information from 1,051 organ donors resulting in 315 new organ donors and 736 confirmations/reaffirmations. All in just 4 days!

Denver Public Health continues to get recognition for its trailblazing work in the area of technology.  This time ModernHealthcare.com has published an article about how Denver Public Health is using HANDI, a mobile app based on Countermind’s MI Clinic technology, to automate data collection and immunization registry updates during mass vaccination campaign.  The article goes on to discuss how Denver Public Health is planning to expand the platform for other types of health campaigns.  Read the full article by clicking here.

For the second year in a row, National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO) has recognized Denver Public Health, this time as Large Local Health Department of the Year citing its “strong vision and commitment to use information technology to improve thenhealth of Denver residents.”  The award specifically cites HANDI (which stands for Hand-held Automated Notification for Drugs and Immunizations), a mobile point of care solution based on Countermind’s MI Clinic, as one of its innovative uses of technology.  The award announcement states, “The HANDI system uses a three-step process to collect data: (1) patient registration; (2) medicalncontraindication; and (3) vaccination information. In the first step, the patient is registered using an“sled” scanner attached to the mobile device. The scanner reads the magnetic stripe or barcode that isnfound on driver’s licenses, employee ID’s, or other forms of identification and stores that information onnthe device. If the identification card is not readable or available, the information may be hand-enteredninto the device. Any additional information can be updated at this point too. An identification barcode isnprinted using a portable printer and the person is sent to the next station. At the next station, thenhealthcare worker scans the barcode, bringing up the patient record, and the app collects medicalninformation. Next, the vaccination is administered and the app scans information identifying the lotnnumber, dosage, and vaccination site. The process is fast, efficient, and effective at capturing all of thennecessary vaccination information.”  

Congratulations to Denver Public Health!

Countermind’s MI Register technology has been used to create an app that instantly registers organ donors with just a swipe of someone’s drivers license.  This brief YouTube video put out by the Donor Network of Arizona promotes the Swipe to Donate Life app and shows it in action.  Click here to see the video.

Using Countermind’s MI Clinic and an iPod touch sled accessary, application brings real-time data collection to the organ donor registration process.

Littleton, Co. – March 5, 2013 – Countermind, LLC, the Mobile Intelligence™ company, and Barcoding, Inc., a leader in enterprise-wide mobility solutions, announce that they have helped launch Donor Network of Arizona’s (DNA) “Swipe to Donate Life” application, bringing real-time data collection capabilities to the organ and tissue donor registration process.

Core News Facts:

• Swipe to Donate Life is a fully customized application created using Countermind’s Mobile Intelligence™ Platform, MI Clinic, running on a mobile device (such as an iPhone or iPod touch) equipped with a sled accessary provided by Barcoding.

• MI Clinic is an award-winning mobile application that automates patient processing and data collection for health campaigns by scanning a driver’s license or other ID badge.

• When registering new organ donors, DNA employees and volunteers scan the registrant’s driver’s license barcode through the sled, which automatically populates the preprogrammed fields with the registrant’s information, including name, address, birthdate, and gender. After registrants verify the information and accept the terms of agreement, they are added to the DonateLifeAZ Registry.

• The donor’s information is added to the DonateLifeAZ Registry in real-time via a Wi-Fi access point, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual data entry and preventing the possibility of human error. If Wi-Fi is not available, users can still collect donor information, which will later be transferred and uploaded on the private and secure registry.

Timothy Brown, CEO, Donor Network of Arizona, said, “Swipe to Donate Life holds great promise for Donor Network of Arizona, and other organ donor organizations, by taking the paperwork and manual data entry out of the registration process. With this application, we can assure accuracy in our donor registry to make sure that no opportunity to save a life is lost. In addition, we hope that it will make it faster and easier to register as a donor, therefore increasing the number of registrants.”

Chuck Krutsinger, CEO, Countermind, said, “Countermind worked closely with the Donor Network of Arizona to create a custom-tailored donor registration application, while Barcoding made sure that the organization received the right hardware to meet its needs. We are looking forward to seeing the positive results that DNA experiences by incorporating this application in its processes.”

Kenneth Currie, vice president of business development, Barcoding, Inc., said, “Automating patient registration is just one example of the benefits that mobile data collection and barcode technology have to offer the healthcare industry. Whether collecting patient information at an immunization clinic or tracking administration of medication at a hospital, today’s most forward-thinking healthcare facilities are realizing the accuracy and efficiency this technology provides.”
