Lab Information Management System Module for EHR

A Flexible, Scalable LIMS for Single Site and Multi-Site Labs

VersaSuite LIMS is a fully integrated comprehensive laboratory information system that can be scaled to meet the needs of the modern hospital or laboratory. Our LIMS Module is built on a unified code-set with information stored in a single database; data is shared in real-time, enhancing workflow and patient safety.

LIMS Key Features

Supports inpatient and outpatient lab orders in a single unified view
Lab queue – view, manage and complete all outstanding lab orders on a single screen
Print requisition slips, including auto-generated barcodes
Specialty-specific templates
Specimen tracking
Supports LOINC codes
Supports lab panels

Seamlessly Integrated with the Rest of VersaSuite

Automatic code capture that feeds billing and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)
Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) orders feed into the LIS instantly
Clinical Decision Support (CDS), including lab-allergy checks

Supports All Lab-Related HL7 Messages

Send lab order
Receive lab order
Send lab results
Receive lab results

Define Abnormal Ranges and Associated HL7 Abnormal Flags for Every Lab Finding

Define unique ranges for specific patients (i.e. diabetes)

Integrated Quality Control (QC) Mechanisms

Levey-Jenkins graphs
Westgard rules
Scheduled maintenance
Run reports to track maintenance adherence
Warnings if instruments fail one or more quality control checks

Automatically Notify Physicians of Lab Results and Abnormal Ranges Separately

Customize rules to alert nurses when physicians are absent
Perform math operations based on specific instruments and values
Replace default CPT code

Same User Interface in the Ambulatory, ED, and Inpatient Environments

See where all outstanding specimens are
Run reports to see workflow analysis and identify bottlenecks
Follow a detailed history of each specimen
Define, track, and manage storage temperatures for specimens

VersaSuite Supports All HL7 Abnormal Flags:

< below absolute low-off instrument scale
> above absolute high-off instrument scale
A abnormal (applies to non-numeric results)
AA very abnormal (non-numeric, analogous to panic limits for numeric units)
B better — use when direction not relevant
D significant change down
H above high normal
[HH above upper panic limits
I intermediate. Indicates microbiology susceptibilities only
L below low normal
LL below lower panic limits
MS moderately susceptible. Indicates for microbiology susceptibilities only
N normal (applies to non-numeric results)
Null no range defined, or normal ranges don’t apply
R resistant. Indicates for microbiology susceptibilities only
S susceptible. Indicates for microbiology susceptibilities only
U significant change up
VS very susceptible. Indicates for microbiology susceptibilities only
W worse – use when direction not relevant
