MAK-System, a worldwide leader in Blood Management systems, is proud to announce an extended and strategic partnership with New York Blood Center Enterprises (NYBCe). Under the agreement, MAK-System will operate the MAK.care platform as a managed service, running the entire digital ecosystem on behalf of NYBCe. The 10-year arrangement will transform how blood is managed and delivered to patients by leveraging the benefits of managed services.

The MAK.care platform brings a new era in the blood and biologics management industry and allows for more efficient and scalable connectivity for all stakeholders, including Blood Centers, donors, healthcare providers, and the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. This will help NYBCe to better serve patients and save lives.

The partnership with MAK-System will enable NYBCe to standardize workflows and best practices in the operating divisions while leveraging the latest healthcare technology innovations.

"We are delighted to be extending our relationship with MAK-System in becoming the first national blood center in the US to benefit from their new      platform. Our combined business approach and a common mission to positively impact the lives of our donors and patients solidified our decision to continue our innovative efforts with MAK-System," said NYBCe President and CEO Christopher D. Hillyer, MD. "We look forward to working closely with MAK-System over the next ten years to achieve our shared goals."  

"We are thrilled to be collaborating with NYBCe to bring our cutting-edge MAK.care platform to the US market," said Frank Jaubert, CEO of MAK-System. "We are extremely proud to have been selected by one of the largest and most prestigious blood centers. We believe this success will resonate in North America, as well as the global markets".

The platform, entirely operated by MAK-System as a managed service, will provide the highest level of service and security for users.

"MAK.care offers an entirely new model and provides the New York Blood Center with a safer digital ecosystem and access to the updates in technology and features in compliance with the regulations. The relationship is orientated around a clear set of Service Levels that guarantee the quality we expect over the next 10 years," said Jonathan Barba, VP of Information Technology at NYBCe.
