SMARTrak™

Varian Inc.'s SMARTrak is a comprehensive data management solution specifically created for corporate, medical and criminal justice DAT (drug and alcohol testing) programs. SMARTrak tracks donors, specimens, results and schedules, generates regulatory and analytical reports, automatically alerts responsible parties when critical events occur, records iron-clad chain-of-custody evidence and is available in a network version allowing you to seamlessly share information throughout your organization.

By empowering employees with the right information at the right time, SMARTrak improves outcomes and increases employee accountability. Its automation of manual processes saves time and money, reduces error and increases program efficiency and reputation. SMARTrak also enhances compliance, increases legal defensibility and reduces the potentially catastrophic risk of a positive result “slipping through the cracks”. Plus its sophisticated analysis of results, donors and programs can prove all these benefits and demonstrate to budget setters the positive return you attain on their drug testing investment.

Extensive Features

• Enhanced Drug Testing Chain-of-Custody: DAT Information Manager automates all common chain-of-custody procedures and now supports test confirmation and MRO review. Medical Review Officers can, for example, be instantly alerted to review requests, view digital specimens, accept or reject results, order retests and communicate their decisions to all parties. Bar codes are used throughout to effortlessly and accurately track donors and specimens and all chain-of-custody data is recorded in an auditable database.
• Results: SMARTrak has an automatic result recognition component specifically designed for Varian's newer cup devices. This feature speeds up the data entry process by automatically reading the test result for you. To reduce manual data entry errors, SMARTrak's input screen always mirrors the specific Varian device ("WYSIWYG"). Up to two million results can be stored.
• Alerts: Whenever a critical event occurs—a positive result, an adulterated specimen, a refusal to test—an Alert is automatically sent to one or more Recipients who can handle their Alerts immediately or set themselves reminders for later. The criteria that trigger Alerts and the recipients who are to receive them are controllable by the user. Alerts can play a critical role in bridging the information void that often exists between organizations as they can be simultaneously sent to DAT Information Manager users and nonusers. And since Alerts always create audit trails, the accountability of recipients, inside and outside the organization, is enhanced.
• Reports: Though many operational reports are standard , users can easily customize or add their own reports using Crystal Report templates. Reports can even be automatically run based on time of day or chain-of-custody events (e.g., “After a donor submits their e-signature, automatically print their consent form on a printer across town.”)
• Permissions and HIPAA regulated content: Traditional group and user permissions control access to all data and program functionality. A parallel, HIPAA-oriented permission scheme offers finer level of control of Medical, Drug Testing and Mental Health content. These dual permission mechanisms allow IT, for example, complete control over the program while denying them access to regulated content.
• Network Version: SMARTrak can be easily networked such that regardless of location - either across the office or across the state - information can be seamlessly shared amongst approved individuals.
• Improved Enterprise Support: Centralized administration, auto updating, and roving user settings make administration of large, complex installations easier than ever.
