Case Study: Health Central Hospital reduces tissue expiration from 20% to 2% and improves compliance with Veradigm Tissue Manager

Tissue Manager improves compliance and tracking

Health Central Hospital, a not‑for‑profit community hospital in Ocoee, Florida, struggled with fragmented, manual tracking of tissue used across its operating room, surgery center and wound care clinic—about 3,500 implanted items annually. To improve patient safety, regulatory compliance and reduce waste, Health Central implemented Allscripts Tissue Manager (part of the Allscripts portfolio) to replace paper processes and centralize inventory control.

Allscripts deployed an electronic tissue‑management solution with barcode scanning, color‑coded screens and expiration alerts that track materials from receipt to implantation and guide required documentation. As a result, Allscripts helped the hospital cut inventory lost to expiration from an estimated 20% to about 2%, improved charge capture and audit readiness for The Joint Commission and the FDA, and increased staff confidence and accuracy in documentation.
