VAMC

Since 1998, TCG has been working with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VAMC) in conjunction with their Barcode Resource Office. TCG was introduced to the VA by Welch Allyn when the medical centers were having trouble with many different scanners and printers not operating correctly. TCG studied the situation and worked with the OEMS and its own in-house healthcare specialist team. Since then, several models have been successfully developed and supplied. All of them meet and exceed the VA’s BCMA specs, and they offer the following features that are desired or required by the VA:

  • Disinfectant-ready plastics
  • IP-41 rated case
  • Comprehensive warranties (Comprehensive in that if anything breaks, it gets fixed; the warranty doesn’t just cover manufacturing defects.)
  • HD imager for scanning high density 1D and 2D barcodes
  • FIPS 140-2 Bluetooth® encryption
  • Defaulted for BCMA from TCG

The Barcode Point of Care (BPOC) world continues to change, requiring more capable products. We’re here to help supply better, cost-effective, easy-to-install, support products.  In addition to BCMA, TCG has also worked with Veteran Affairs personnel on the VistA Blood Establishment Computer System (VBECS), various wristband printer programs, and heavy-volume barcode printers for the Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) program.

These products can be purchased directly or through several of our SEWP contract partners. For more detailed information, see our recent TCG-VAMC case study or our VA historical case study.
