LabDAQ Laboratory Information System (LIS) is the most placed LIS in the country with more than 2,500 installations nationwide. Completely customizable and scalable, able to meet the needs of any laboratory environment.
Functionality
Requisitions
Creating requisitions becomes an effortless task in LabDAQ, simply select the panels to be ordered or use rapid order codes. Tests performed at a reference lab can be ordered from the same screen.
LabDAQ's Requisition Maintenance screen allows the instant review of a patient's result history, re-print or resend of reports, creation or editing of requisitions, manual entry or editing of results, or editing of patient information
Information Setup
Patient setup allows the end user to determine required/disabled fields on the screen. When there is a demographics import in place between the LabDAQ and the hospital information system (HIS), practice management system, or electronic health record (EHR), the patient demographics, including insurance information, can be automatically populated.
Panel setup allows each laboratory to link specific CPT codes to diagnosis codes, specify sample requirements and enable panel security.
Test setup is totally customizable; parameters can be defined and edited at any time. Reference ranges can be made for any age/sex or special population as needed for each test. Event triggers allow you to define specific situations where actions should be taken. Assuring that additional panels should be ordered or cancelled, specific comments should be attached to a result or tests should be forwarded to the reference lab via the reference lab interface.
Medical Necessity
With Medical Necessity the user is alerted when an inappropriate diagnosis code has been entered. An Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) can then be printed automatically or on demand
Quality Control
Multiple levels of Quality Control can be set up and managed from one screen. From this screen, Westgard rules can be applied, lot numbers, expiration dates and ranges can be updated as needed. All daily controls can then be ordered with the click of a mouse or auto-scheduled as needed.
Control graph studies makes, multiple control levels, trends, and statistics, available for review in a normalized graph. Levey-Jennings graphs can be created to plot your control results for a given of time.
Correlation and Linearity Studies will calculate appropriate statistics (mean, standard deviation, %cv) from data that has been collected from tests performed in the laboratory.
Customizable Rules
A comprehensive rules engine allows users to create rules in order to eliminate errors and assist in decision making throughout the testing process. Rules can be created for ordering, test routing, report dissemination, result review, billing and microbiology, resulting in a LIS solution customized for your laboratory's specific needs.
Analyzer Interfaces
All interfaces are listed on the bottom of LabDAQ screen, the user can review and release results, re-run or reject selected tests, panels or complete runs, and add comments to test results. From one analyzer interface screen, results can be processed, manual tests are entered, requisitions uploaded, and worklists can be printed.
Reference Laboratory Interfaces
Reference laboratory interfaces are also on the bottom of the LabDAQ screen. Results can be reviewed just as the analyzer interfaces are reviewed.
The Reference Lab Reconciler will eliminate unnecessary time spent correcting mismatched patient data as well as unsolicited results. Mismatched patient data will be identified and displayed with possible patient matches. Users can also create new patients based on data imported from the reference lab.
