Ground Zero Software Announces Lab Tracker 6.0 HIV/Liver
Ground Zero Software, Inc., the leading provider of HIV/Liver-specific clinical Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solutions to the worldwide healthcare industry, today announced Lab Tracker™ 6.0 – the first low-cost PC-based EMR platform to integrate the flow of vital information among pharmacies, laboratories and physicians at the point of care.
Lab Tracker houses the records of more than 100,000 HIV patients and 92 percent of all hemophilia patients in the U.S. through such institutions as Johns Hopkins, the CDC, University of Miami, University of Louisiana, Emory University and the Owen Clinic, among many others. For more than 12 years, Ground Zero Software has focused entirely on the particular needs of HIV practitioners from a patient’s point of view – which makes it unique in a market of general-purpose EMRs that attempt to be all things for all patients, or have been developed by pharmacies or big pharmaceutical companies.
More than 80 percent of healthcare practitioners in the U.S. have not adopted EMR technology, primarily because of its high expense, disruption to workflow and limited usefulness. Lab Tracker 6.0 surmounts these barriers by being the first easy-to-use, low-cost solution to run on existing PCs, laptops and networks, and by putting the practitioner in complete control of a secure intranet among participating pharmacies and laboratories. The key to solving this Triangle of Care is Lab Tracker’s unique ability to immediately analyze, graph and trend lab results that are uploaded directly from the laboratory.
“The EMR market is struggling to understand why physicians aren’t willing to pay for high-priced mainframe applications that don’t tie together with pharmacies and labs,” said Dan Davis, president and founder of Ground Zero Software. “For the past 12 years we’ve been alone in our commitment to develop an engine for analyzing lab results on a PC, and integrating the Triangle of Care from there. The market is finally trending toward what Lab Tracker has offered all along: a full-purpose solution for the PC.”
Lab Tracker is the leading clinical EMR for HIV, hemophilia and liver diseases. Its ability to analyze, trend and graph multi-variable lab results, query large patient populations and automate governmental reporting and outcomes research has made it the cornerstone of infectious and chronic disease management in the largest and most prestigious health sciences universities and institutions in the U.S.
Working extensively with its customers over the last four years, Ground Zero Software has tested and modified the latest version of Lab Tracker to fit seamlessly in the most demanding of practices. It provides integration with all front-end office and back-end mainframe applications. Its new icon-driven graphical user interface speeds up navigation and virtually eliminates the need for training.
e-Prescribing
Lab Tracker 6.0 makes e-prescribing viable. It is the first EMR to transform the typical PC found in most U.S. healthcare practices into a command center for immediate access to all medical records, SOAP notes, radiology data and lab results. It is the only EMR that downloads, analyzes and graphs lab results at the point of care, so that physicians no longer have to endure endless phone calls and faxes and long delays for charts to be pulled and lab results received. Instead, physicians have all the information and analytic tools needed to make the best therapy decisions in minutes.
The optional Lab Tracker e-prescribing solution also provides physicians and patients with the choice of the most advanced personal adherence packaging available and free delivery from the leading HIV mail-order pharmacy service.
