NovoPath Offers Innovative Cloud Hosting Support: Labs Enjoy a Customized Solution with Reduced Capital Investment and Maintenance

Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) July 22, 2013

NovoPath, Inc., a leader in best-of-breed anatomic pathology (AP) software solutions, announces a remote hosting software option for its flagship NovoPath™ product, providing customers with all the benefits of a cloud environment while maintaining full HIPAA compliance and enabling full ownership and control of their patient data and the NovoPath application. This new offering allows users to purchase NovoPath AP laboratory information system (LIS) software and select the HIPAA-compliant remote hosting provider of their choice. NovoPath will work with the provider to install its software to support VPN or Internet access locally at the user’s lab, depending on the specific needs.

“By hosting a NovoPath™ system with a cloud-based provider, labs enjoy a full range of benefits,” says Wally Soufi, CEO of NovoPath. He explains that this includes the elimination of capital investment in system hardware and management of hardware and software, as well as data backup and recovery – services that the hosting vendor can provide. Additionally, cloud-based solutions are scalable, eliminating the need to plan for long-term data storage needs. Users also benefit from the provider’s economy of scale in hardware purchase and maintenance, making the service a typically affordable alternative to onsite hosting.

According to Soufi, the new software option also enables customers to lease and control their own dedicated offsite server as well as to take advantage of a NovoPath™ solution customized to their own particular needs. This contrasts with a vendor-hosted solution, which is often a standard application running on a server shared by multiple labs.

“Customers enjoy secure, reliable, cost-effective access to NovoPath. This is a terrific offering for smaller labs and users with minimal IT support, as well as almost any lab that expects significant growth but is unable to predict future needs given today’s rapidly evolving medical environment,” he comments. “It’s a unique way to implement a customized solution with turnkey implementation and maintenance.”

Recognized for its broad-based functionality and customizable features, NovoPath’s advanced solutions support AP reporting, image acquisition, electronic sign off, voice dictation, billing, referring physician communications and more. Unlike most competing solutions, the platform offers advanced business intelligence and analytic tools to help labs manage their performance in today’s competitive and ever-changing business environment. NovoPath’s Lean Process Improvement Module, for example, is a fully integrated module that implements sophisticated business processes into day-to-day operations.
