[{"type":"text","content":"TxAccess Supports and Accelerates Patients onto the Transplant Waitlist\nSOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareDx, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNA), a leading precision medicine company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of clinically differentiated, high-value healthcare solutions for transplant patients and caregivers, announced today that the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Comprehensive Transplant Institute is integrated with TxAccess (formerly TX Connect) to now reach over 500 dialysis centers and nephrology practices. TxAccess, a cloud-based service from CareDx, helps support more patients onto the transplant waitlist. The intake process can be an onerous process, requiring documentation from various medical professionals who are often not in an integrated network. TxAccess allows transplant centers to have a streamlined communication to nephrologists and dialysis organizations. This can make the referral process faster and allows center staff to spend less time on administrative tasks. “TxAccess has simplified the referral intake process, but the biggest benefit has been the automated communication with dialysis social workers throughout the region. Our nephrology and dialysis partners have also benefitted by having a consolidated dashboard that shows the status of all their patients. They can have the most up to date information when they are chairside,” said Brian Berthiaume, Director of Administrative Operations of UAB’s transplant program. The service, which integrates with all major transplant EMRs for a seamless workflow, is already being used by major dialysis centers throughout the United States. To date, over 38,000 referrals have been managed with TxAccess as a growing number of transplant centers adopt the service. “I congratulate Brian and his team at UAB for this milestone achievement,” said Kashif Rathore, Senior Vice President, Digital Business at CareDx. “Forward-thinking transplant centers like UAB recognize the value of streamlining their transplant referral processes, sharing access to the latest patient information, and improving communication with their referring partners. We are thrilled that CareDx digital solutions are helping facilitate coordinated care for transplant patients.” About CareDxCareDx, Inc., headquartered in South San Francisco, Cali...
