A Clear View Toward the Future with FileMaker Pro 13 Platform

The Alabama Eye Bank has the unique job of helping those with corneal blindness to see again. . As the only Eye Bank in Alabama, the organization is available 24 hours a day to respond when a healthcare facility, such as a hospital, calls to say a family has decided to provide the “Gift of Sight.” The Alabama Eye Bank dispatches a technician to surgically retrieve the donor’s cornea. This amazing tissue can be used to replace a cornea that has been injured or diseased. Following retrieval, the Eye Bank carefully evaluates the tissue and distributes it to a corneal surgeon who will transplant it.

 

A flexible platform for running a complex organization

To help run the facility 24/7, Cattell has built a solution that uses the full FileMaker Platform. The solution manages referrals, donors, tissues, accounts, contacts, distribution and online surgery scheduling. It creates invoices that QuickBooks distributes. The FileMaker Platform handles employee benefits, including time off, vacation and sick leave. Through FileMaker, Cattell has created multiple reports to assist management to better keep a pulse on the eye bank’s daily operations.

 

When tissue is procured, FileMaker Go for iPad collects all of the specifics of donor information. This information is then synchronized with a back-end database accessible from Alabama Eye Bank regional offices located in Huntsville, Montgomery and Mobile.
