How can MasterControl Blood Bank and Clinical Laboratory Training Systems Help You?

MasterControl's blood bank and clinical laboratory training system is a robust, easy-to-use solution designed to effectively manage the training process and integrate it with other processes critical to FDA regulatory compliance, such as CAPA, change control, audit, and customer complaints.

Here's how MasterControl's blood bank and clinical laboratory training software addresses some of the major challenges that companies face in establishing and maintaining an automated training management software system:

CLIA and GMP Training Management and Tracking Challenges		MasterControl Training Software Solution
Inefficient Training Management System The more employees a company has, the harder it is to track, follow-up, and verify their training, especially if they're in different locations working different shifts. A paper-based system is likely to result in voluminous paperwork, delays, or incomplete training tasks.		Efficient Training Management and Tracking Software MasterControl's blood bank and clinical laboratory training software automates the routing and delivery of training tasks and even automatic grading of online exams. Provides a secure, centralized, and Web-based repository for all training-related documents.
Disconnected Training Processes Changes made to SOP and other key documentation almost always require new training. If the blood bank and clinical laboratory training system is not connected to change control and other quality processes, training tasks are likely to fall through the cracks.		Connected Training Software System MasterControl's blood bank and clinical laboratory training software integrates the training process with the rest of the quality system for a holistic approach. For example, the resolution of a corrective action will trigger an engineering change, an SOP change, and training of employees on the new SOP.
Poor Communication Tracking calls for two-way communication. The training coordinator needs to inform all trainees about their tasks and trainees need to communicate back upon completion of training. In between, there's a need to remind people or escalate tasks. Paper-based and hybrid systems create unnecessary work with uncoordinated e-mail messages, phone calls, and face-to-face communication that are difficult to track. This problem is carefully catered by MasterControl by providing blood bank and clinical laboratory training systems		Efficient Communication Automates tracking and follow-up. Users are automatically notified about new training tasks. Upon completion of the task, the verifier is also automatically notified by the blood bank and clinical laboratory training software. Trainees have access to their training records with a personalized folder that shows past training, course due dates, and future training.
Lack of Oversight With a paper-based or hybrid system, it's hard to find out who needs what training when, or how many employees passed or failed the training. Without a blood bank and clinical laboratory training system, it's almost impossible to get the status of the training program in a timely manner.		Increased Oversight MasterControl's blood bank and clinical laboratory training software consists of an advanced analytics and reporting capability includes customizable reports and online charting. The training coordinator can run a report according to required training by trainee, completed training by job code, or pending training by course, and find out how many people have completed their tasks.

Features of Blood Bank and Clinical Laboratory Training Software

Here's a summary of MasterControl Training's powerful features that can help clinical and medical labs:

Online Exams - Regulatory bodies are increasingly seeking proof of personnel competency through the use of testing. MasterControl's blood bank and clinical laboratory training software automates the assignment and follow-up of training tasks and even grading of online exams.

Training Curriculum - MasterControl allows development of a progressive training program through sequencing of training courses. As soon as a trainee completes a prerequisite, the next course is automatically launched in the blood bank and clinical laboratory training software.

Group Sign Off - For companies with hundreds of employees being trained at once, verifying and signing off for each trainee can be time-consuming. With the group sign-off feature, the course instructor or verifier can sign off once for large groups of trainees.

Revision Control - With MasterControl's automatic revision control in the blood bank and clinical laboratory training software, only one authorized user at a time can revise a particular training material. Trainers and course managers can rest assured that there are not multiple versions of a course being acted upon.

Connected Quality Processes - MasterControl blood bank and clinical laboratory training software connects training with other quality processes, so any course or linked document that has been changed and re-approved will automatically trigger training tasks for all affected trainees.

Advanced Analytics and Reporting - MasterControl blood bank and clinical laboratory training software automatically performs gap analysis for all training tasks, all the time. It tracks and shows any training deficiencies that might jeopardize compliance. Training coordinators can monitor the entire quality management lifecycle, from input to closure. Managers will get the big "picture" with the help of the following reporting capabilities:

• A blood bank and clinical laboratory training system have an ability to dynamically capture, trend, and link data needed to solve problems, improve processes, and implement preventive measures. A variety of reports come standard, but companies can customize reports based on their needs.
• Data can be grouped together by a date interval and then charted over a date range.
