“VA utilizes the comprehensive Real-Time Location System (RTLS) suite as its Instrument Tracking System (ITS). The Sterile Processing Workflow (SPW) use case is one part of the RTLS suite. VA currently uses brand name Censitrac software, manufactured by Censis Technologies, Inc, for the SPW use case.

The Censitrac to Cerner OR Scheduler interface provides the ability to track instrument trays, and the instruments contained within them, by container names, product names, catalog numbers, suppliers, sterilization method, physician, and additional parameters. This procurement will cover CERNER EHRM (electronic health record management) / Multi Station / Training / Data Validation / Hardware (CensiTrac)…”

No other software will work with the existing hardware due to the proprietary source code that operates in the environment…”
