Integrating Molecular Diagnostics with Clinical Care

In order to take full advantage of genetic testing, molecular diagnostics must become an integral part of clinical care. Translational Software’s PgxPortal integrates existing Electronic Medical Records systems (EMRs) and Practice Management Systems (PMS) with Lab operations. For molecular diagnostics laboratories it provides an additional layer of value-added interpretation that makes tests more useful.

Laboratory Links to Healthcare

Healthcare providers and laboratories have a wide variety of capabilities for communicating with each other. The Portal provides flexible ordering and report delivery capabilties through a web interface, smartphone application, or an integration engine for standards-based communications with Electronic Medical Records systems. Laboratories can also use the web portal or HL7 interface to their Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). The Portal can support customized interfaces to other laboratory automation systems as well.

  

Interpretation of Genetic Data

Genetic test results present a special challenge for clinicians. With the number of analytes that genetic tests can provide it is no longer possible for a physician to understand the result by intuition alone. Translational Software's portal implements a specialized Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that enables the transformation of raw test results into clinically actionable reports in several formats.
