"Based on our experience with Wyndgate Technologies during the implementation of SafeTrace, it was very clear that their implementation team is very knowledgeable not only in the complexities of a donor center, but also in project management. SafeTrace was implemented right on target as planned," said Dave Rowley, Chief Information Officer at Rex Healthcare.
