CompuGroup Medical Streamlines its Laboratory Software
CompuGroup Medical today announces new features and enhancements to CGM LABDAQ® Laboratory Information System and CGM LABNEXUS® Laboratory Outreach Solution.
CGM LABDAQ is an advanced laboratory information system (LIS) that empowers labs of all sizes to optimize revenue and improve customer retention by increasing efficiency, streamlining workflow, reducing turnaround times, and promoting patient safety.
“The changes we’ve implemented come in response to our clients’ specific needs,” said General Manager Carl Smith, lab division, CompuGroup Medical US. “We developed solutions for these clients, and now we can roll out the improvements so that every laboratory can benefit.”
The upgraded Workflow Management option offers new ways to sort and search patient and test data. The enhanced ability to pinpoint quality controls that have tested out of range allows laboratory specialists to identify specifically which test plates need to be re-tested. This saves employees time and reduces any waste that comes from re-running plates that are not in question.
“Even the smallest change was driven by user feedback. Reference laboratories wanted the location filter in Workflow Management to default to displaying all of a client’s locations, and now that is the standard with version 19.11,” Smith said.
CGM LABDAQ 19.11 is accompanied by the release of CGM LABNEXUS 19.1.
CGM LABNEXUS provides laboratories with a cloud-based web portal that connects them to the providers they serve. Its tools simplify the exchange of information, improve workflow, and allow a lab to increase testing volume and grow its outreach business.
With the latest update, CompuGroup Medical has made the interface even more user friendly. Updates to the HL7 Activity Log make it easier to see what’s going on behind-the-scenes, and improvements to the pending report query, order history, and organization setup proves make the platform more intuitive than before.
“Pending tests and order history can now be sorted by received date, so users have another way to quickly find the information they’re looking for,” said Smith. “By spending less time on the system, providers can spend more time with patients and laboratories can turnaround those test results even faster.”
