Vanderbilt Moves Towards A Paperless Cell Therapy Process

By Amber Hoskins

Paper-based cell therapy systems have been around for years. So, why deviate from the norm?

Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) knew they had inefficiencies in key areas, including time and space. When a flood hit their facility, they realized a paperless solution could close that gap and streamline the quality process. Going paperless seems like a fast process, but VUMC learned a gradual approach is the key to success.

This article features four steps in the paperless process: covering barrier evaluations, new automation software adoption, SOP implementation, and testing validation. The future of cell-therapy systems is here, so learn the importance of patience when implementing a paperless system today.
