EXPERT MIDDLEWARE TO BETTER MANAGE THE FLOW OF CRITICAL DATA
THROUGHOUT YOUR LABORATORY SYSTEM
WHY MIDDLEWARE?
With increasing demands on productivity and decreasing resources, clinical laboratories are looking for ways to reduce staffing costs, reduce review rates, optimize throughput, and improve accuracy and consistency of reported results.
Many laboratories are choosing to enhance their information systems by using dedicated middleware software alongside their traditional LIS. Middleware – software that optimizes the flow and management of data between analyser and LIS – is an important component in the overall laboratory informatics environment.
Through the use of AlinIQ AMS, you can streamline the management of key laboratory data, such as patient test orders and quality data. And with the open connectivity of AlinIQ AMS, regardless of which analyzers and automation systems you use, you can achieve the following important objectives:
- Standardize and automate decision making
- Reduce errors
- Alleviate impact of staff shortages
- Decrease operational cost
ALINIQ AMS ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY
AlinIQ AMS provides five categories of added functionality that enhance the laboratory’s management of data, to improve productivity and quailty of test results. These capabilities, combined with our expert advisors, empower you to maximize your potential and improve operational productivity and quality. AlinIQ AMS is able to handle any sized laboratory, from single analyzers to large, multi-site networks with:
- Unlimited number of workstations and instrument connections
- Unlimited number of LIS and/or Hospital Information System (HIS) connections
- Support for a multitude of communication protocols
- Unlimited size for historical results archives
- Connection for multiple sites within a laboratory network
BETTER MANAGE THE FLOW OF DATA
Disparate laboratory IT systems often lack functionality to drive efficiency, which can result in fragmented workflow processes. With AlinIQ AMS, the analyzer management system from Abbott, you can standardize IT and workflow functionality across your laboratory’s entire network, enabling you to optimize your efficiency and quality.
AlinIQ AMS is a scalable solution that can connect any analyzer or automation system to the LIS, to better manage the flow of data throughout the entire workflow process.
