| == History ==
| | #REDIRECT [[Omnilab Srl]] |
| Since 1998 Omnilab [http://www.omnilab.it web site]supplies LabOnLine middleware to provide universal connectivity from any instrument to any LIS (Laboratory Information System), whether it is part of the pre-analytical, analytical or post-analytical phase.
| |
| Middleware is a highly specialized software residing between the LIS (Laboratory Information System) and devices such as diagnostic instruments, front-end automation systems, work-cells or track automation systems to provide additional features to improve automation and to ensure reliable integration.
| |
| Omnilab is dedicated to identifing and developing features that can improve the value of IT in any clinical Laboratory or blood transfusion laboratory.
| |
| IVD (In-Vitro Diagnostic) vendors as well as LIS vendors are among the principal entities that can benefit from Omnilab’s experience.
| |
| | |
| == Labonline Target ==
| |
| | |
| Through LabOnLine Middleware the user takes full control of the sample life-cycle:
| |
| . control laboratory workflow
| |
| . produce reliable test results
| |
| . control laboratory TAT (Turn-Around-Time)
| |
| . manage TLA (Total Laboratory Automation)
| |
| . support laboratory quality accreditation
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Main Features ==
| |
| | |
| '''1''' Web interface for results browsing and validation
| |
| '''2''' Unlimited number of workstations and instrument connections
| |
| '''3''' Unlimited number of LIS and/or Hospital Information System (HIS) connections
| |
| '''4''' Supports any communication protocol
| |
| '''5''' Supports historical results archives of unlimited size
| |
| '''6''' Connection of different laboratories to enable “virtual labs”
| |
| '''7''' Simple user interface to easily browse data without having to skip to different windows or procedures
| |
| '''8''' Auto-verification: powerful “rules engine” to define ANY rule (from simple to very complex)
| |
| '''9''' Full control of auto-verification process (according to regulatory guidelines, e.g. CAP)
| |
| '''10''' Rules can be written to conditionally download/upload information to/from analyzers, the automation system and the LIS.
| |
| '''11''' “One-click” validation process: immediate access to results, by clicking on real-time counters related to different conditions (e.g. “To be validated”)
| |
| '''12''' Receive and store results in ANY format (numeric, codified, free text, graphic)
| |
| '''13''' Rerun/Dilution/Reflex can be rule driven or entered manually.
| |
| '''14''' Unlimited storage of reruns (this provides for accurate statistics)
| |
| '''15''' Advanced Dashboard: real-time sample status monitoring (dashboard console with real-time alerts). This feature streamlines exception management.
| |
| '''16''' Complete sample tracking with view of the latest sample position.
| |
| '''17''' Filter results by different criteria (e.g. work-list, measurement sequence, rack/position, by requester, by production laboratory, by analyzer flags, etc.) Save filter criteria for re-use.
| |
| '''18''' Incoming sample accessioning (manual or instrument driven).
| |
| '''19''' Rules-based automated sample sorting/routing capability with process line definition, and pre-analytical support of manual sample routing.
| |
| '''20''' Real-time Moving Average-Of-Normals (with the ability to automatically hold results), with graphical comparisons among different analyzers
| |
| '''21''' Unlimited historical results archive (with easy direct access to previous results; graphical display of previous value trends)
| |
| '''22''' Real time delta-check (applicable to qualitative results as well)
| |
| '''23''' Comments management (related to patient, visit, request, sample, assays)
| |
| '''24''' QC material and calibrators handling
| |
| '''25''' Built-in QC Management with graphs (such as Levey-Jennings, Youden-Plot), real time multi-rules (i.e. Westgard) and result export. QC interacts with auto-verification.
| |
| '''26''' Real-Time QC Expert system integration (for rule suggestion); peer QC features; QC monitoring embedded in the LabOnline GUI
| |
| '''27''' Real-time bi-directional integration with Biorad Unity RT
| |
| '''28''' Comprehensive set of built-in reports (work-list, incomplete, compact results, results, etc. ). All report formats can be designed/changed by the user through an embedded tool.
| |
| '''29''' Real-time TAT management with the ability to identify samples and results that need immediate action in order to maintain expected delivery time
| |
| '''30''' Ability to measure TAT for different steps in the process (e.g. from check-in to centrifugation) and generate alarms or complaints when shifts are detected.
| |
| '''31''' Long-term storage of reagent lot information along with the results (including number of measurements and initial/end date of usage)
| |
| '''32''' Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) documents to be accessed by context through LabOnline GUI (for assays, work-lists and analyzers).
| |
| '''33''' Long-term storage of raw data and reagent info received from the analyzers (IVD directive compliant)
| |
