Psyche Systems Partners With Labtest Systems For Laboratory Outreach Platform
Strategic Alliance Delivers A Powerful, Affordable Solution For Web-based Results Reporting And Order Entry
Milford, Mass., November 7, 2005 – Psyche Systems Corporation, a leader in hosted laboratory information systems, announced today that it has formed a strategic alliance with Midland Park, N.J.-based Labtest Systems. Labtest specializes in providing remote order entry and results reporting solutions for clinical and anatomic pathology laboratories across the United States and Canada. Psyche offers the outreach suite as a value-added module for its LabWeb® laboratory information system (LIS) and WindoPath® anatomic pathology system, or as an enhancement to the laboratory’s existing LIS via e.lixa®. With e.orders and e.reports for clinical and anatomic pathology, laboratories of all sizes and types can cost-effectively implement a hosted outreach system that specifically meets their business needs.
“I chose Psyche Systems’ hosted outreach package because I wanted a complete, seamless solution for our hosted WindoPath system, without high front-end costs,” said Ward Newcomb, M.D., president of Kansas Pathology Consultants, P.A. “I know pathology. Psyche knows software. I trust Psyche to do what they do best so I can do what I do best.”
e.reports gives the clinician instant access to critical patient care information, while helping the laboratory streamline its report distribution to improve efficiency and turnaround time. Physicians can also access historic patient results, view cumulative graphs and use data mining tools for in-depth analysis. e.orders enables physicians to quickly and easily place test orders online through a secure laboratory-branded Web page from any PC. It also features ABN generation with NCD/LMRP checking, an intuitive online test catalog, automatic courier packing lists, and “just-in-time” automatic accessioning. The laboratories receive great benefit from receiving clean orders thereby reducing clinical and billing errors.
“For nearly 30 years, Psyche Systems has focused on delivering high quality laboratory information systems. I believe that to really do something well, you need focus on that one thing,” said Bob Sage, president of Psyche Systems Corporation. “Our partnership with Labtest allows us to combine their expertise in Web-based outreach with our own deep experience in the laboratory. That is a powerful combination that will serve our customers well.”
“The combined suite of products will enable our clients to grow their business, reduce processing inefficiencies and enhance patient care. Having a strong IT solution from the inception of the order to the final report, will enable our clients to flourish in today’s competitive market,” said Jack Redding, vice president of Labtest Systems.
Laboratories have the option of choosing the full Laboratory Outreach suite, or may select only the result reporting or order entry module for either the clinical laboratory or the anatomic pathology laboratory. Psyche Systems’ Outreach package extends its LabWeb LIS and WindoPath anatomic pathology system, which together with the company’s SBB blood bank software offer an end-to-end laboratory suite.
e.orders and e.reports are also featured components of Psyche’s e.lixa, a suite of hosted applications designed to give new life to hospitals’ and clinics’ current laboratory information systems (LIS). e.lixa enables the laboratory to maximize its current information systems investments, including legacy software, by seamlessly adding on advanced functionality. With e.lixa, hospitals and private laboratories are able to realize a high return on investment by enhancing their services and improving reimbursement rates, while maximizing their existing IT resources through Psyche’s eXerva® application hosting services.
