Laboratory Data Manager Core Module

LDM core module is the engine that runs basic LIS functions such as:

Patient data management, order entry, front office financials, test necessity check, sample labeling, worklist distribution, results entry, review and release, workflow monitoring, and management reports.

Sample Tracking

LDM allows you to scan all barcoded samples throughout their full lifecycle going through: Sample collection, distribution, preparation, analysis, storage, and disposal. LDM tracks the location and custody of each individual sample, which enables you to track any lost sample, and follow its chain of custody, while providing valuable reports about the average time consumed in processing station or any other location.

Analyzers Interface

The automation of data exchange between LIS system and automated laboratory analyzers dramatically speeds up the analysis process, and eliminates many potential sample programming and results-typing errors.

Analyzers identify barcoded samples’ IDs and receive their work orders from LDM. Results are transmitted from analyzers to LDM as soon as they are available. LDM interfaces to 200+ different clinical analyzer models including core-lab automation systems, pre-analytical instruments, and more.

Quality Control

LDM‘s sophisticated quality control features make QC management quick, efficient, and easy. Configurable Westgard and Levy-Jennings rules and support for qualitative and quantitative QC helps you get the most from your quality control data.

LDM provides clear QC monitoring graphs, immediate access to QC records and a set of comprehensive daily and cumulative reports.

Results Auto Verification

LDM applies user-defined algorithms and automatically applies them to results without the need for human intervention. These sets of actions could be the immediate verification of a result, repeat analysis, reflexive testing, the addition of comments, or suggested manual steps including a manual review of the result. The Auto Verification module ensures that every result consistently receives the same review process.

Integration

LDM integrates with Hospital Information systems “HIS”, Electronic Medical Records “EMR”, financial systems and other laboratories using standard HL7 protocol and implementing ICD10, LOINC and CPT 4 codes.
Custom Integrations can be developed for systems that do not support the HL7 format.

Web-Based Reporting

Laboratory results’ reports can be viewed, saved and printed online. Web-based reporting saves the consumed time and effort during the collection of printed results. It can be securely used by hospitals, other labs, doctors' clinics, and patients.

Business Intelligence

LDM-BI puts analytic tools at the fingertips of laboratory managers to improve decision-making, cut costs and identify new business opportunities. With LDM-BI, laboratory managers can analyze data themselves, rather than wait for IT to run complex reports. This infinite flow of data helps them take solid business decisions that would otherwise be based only on assumptions.

              -   Sales and collection.

Outsourcing

LDM helps the lab to manage, control and track outsourced and “send-out” samples, which includes: Outsourcing lab setup, provided services, receiving results, automated preparation of “send-out” samples, track sending/receiving results, reporting, and KPIs for labs and their services.

Sample Storage

LDM enables the lab staff to store completed samples in fridges, freezers and all other storage locations. It facilitates storing, recalling, & disposing of samples. Recalling samples for adding extra tests or reruns has never been easier.

Outreach

LDM Outreach add-on module helps you receive electronic orders directly in your LIS from physicians, polyclinics, & small to mid-size laboratories with great ease & efficiency, where they can receive their test results over the internet & on mobile phones.

It enables you to run a more efficient, effective, and profitable outreach and lab-to-lab referral business, by helping you:

• Differentiate your services from competitors with a private branding of lab services.
• Improve turnaround time for test results delivery with real-time connectivity.
• Eliminate the need to re-label samples when they arrive at the lab, with instrument-ready sample collection barcode-labels to be produced in the collection facility.

System Management & Event Alerting

LDM system monitors and analyzes all operational and technical events that occur within the system, and then directs important alerts to the designated person.

Operational issues like results delays are directed to lab supervisors, QC violations are directed to QC officer, while server issues are directed to IT staff, all with escalation policies if they are not resolved in a defined period.

Billing

LDM supports multiple pricing policies and price lists. The system monitors credit limits and insurance coverage for all work orders. It captures charges while accounting for credit rules, order merges, order cancelations, and special charging requirements. Client invoices are generated easily and hospital’s patient charges are sent automatically to the financial system.
