e.lixa™ Suite of Hosted Applications Extends and Enhances Existing Laboratory Information Systems

Seamlessly Add On Advanced Functionality to Maximize Current IS Investments

At Psyche, we understand that healthcare providers do not have infinite resources, and often laboratory managers compromise to strike a balance between the things the lab needs – like new instruments and better outreach capabilities and resources it really needs, like trained technologists and continuing education programs. With e.lixa, there is no need for compromise when it comes to the latest LIS technology. e.lixa is a suite of add-on applications that extend and enhance a laboratory's existing LIS with Web-based outreach capabilities, and advanced result management reporting. Because it's delivered as a securely hosted application suite, e.lixa can deliver advanced functionality seamlessly to even legacy LIS software at a fraction of the cost of a new LIS or even a system upgrade.

At its core, Psyche Systems' e.lixa operates a powerful relational database designed to hold all current and historic patient and specimen information. Advanced search and charting capabilities enable the laboratory to quickly and easily produce detailed statistical reports and graphs for more meaningful analysis of any parameter recorded by the laboratory. For example, the lab can create comprehensive quality assurance and other management reports, or identify a potential infection outbreak among a segment of the patient population in minutes.

With e.lixa's rules-based report manager, reports are produced and automatically distributed based on completion status, test groups, priority, and other criteria, such as physician, physician groups, patient type, location or any lab-specific demographic. Flexible distribution options allow the lab to either automatically schedule and distribute reports or manually release reports according to the physician's preferred method – via network printer, fax, email or online with the e.reports module. In addition to online reporting, e.lixa also features Web-based order entry with integrated Medical Necessity checking to enable physicians and their staffs to place orders directly using the Internet for fast, accurate test ordering.
