Clinical lab integration
Simplify lab and EMR integration to enhance patient diagnosis and treatment
Diagnostic lab and imaging centers are faced with lab integration and interoperability challenges. Rapid, functional and secure connectivity to clinics and their respective electronic medical records (EMRs) is required for efficiency. But, the variations of EMR systems used by clinicians can hamper, if not derail, uniform and optimal electronic order submission and results delivery. A shortage of technical resources, skillsets and budgets further complicate a consistent approach to lab integration and the receipt of clean and complete orders from clinics.
