InVita Healthcare Technologies, a leading provider of specialized software for complex medical, forensics, and community care environments, today announced the expansion of its partnership with Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, introducing a new product offering designed to streamline the recruitment and scheduling processes for cell therapy—an essential step in advancing these highly specialized and individualized therapies. This collaboration not only strengthens the partnership with Gulf Coast but also reflects InVita’s commitment toward expanding its role in advanced therapy management.
Leveraging its industry-leading capabilities in Blood & Plasma Management software solutions, InVita continues to advance its footprint in advanced therapy management with this latest offering. Managing recruitment and scheduling is the next logical step, ensuring that strict parameters are met with precision and efficiency in these programs. This offering complements the initial product in development, which focuses on scaling operations through enhanced quality control and production—both tailored for blood centers with cell therapy labs and cryopreservation services.
Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, one of the largest community blood centers in the United States, serves 26 counties across the Texas Gulf Coast, Brazos Valley, and East Texas and provides lifesaving blood components to more than 170 hospitals and health care institutions. “Partnering with InVita allows us to streamline our procedures, reduce paperwork, and move away from manual scheduling and communication,” says Theresa Pina, Vice President of Operations at Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center. “These improvements will enhance our ability to meet the unique demands of our cell therapy programs, ultimately enabling us to better serve patients in need of these life-saving treatments.”
By automating these complex processes, Gulf Coast will be able to efficiently segment and target donors by specific cell therapy program types, ensuring that the right donors are enlisted for the right programs at the right time. Additionally, the system facilitates scheduling pre-screening appointments that adhere to the strict timelines required for successful individualized therapies. This streamlined approach is crucial in advancing the treatment and potential cure of critical diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and spinal cord injuries.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center in this field of highly specialized therapies,” says Todd Collins, President and CEO at InVita. “Our focus remains on providing innovative solutions that help our partners deliver life-saving treatments and make a significant impact in the lives of those affected by critical diseases.”
As InVita continues to progress in cell therapy management, it is strategically positioned to eventually deliver comprehensive solutions that encompasses all critical processes—mirroring the success of its blood and plasma management software solutions, including donor management & scheduling, collections, therapy processing, inventory management, compliance, equipment maintenance and integration, billing, workflow automation, and more.
