“Meaningful
use” rules and generous federal incentives are spurring
many physicians to adopt electronic medical record (EMR) systems.
Widespread use of these systems will trigger some of the biggest
changes to the lab-testing marketplace in the past 25 years.
These developments represent both an unprecedented threat and
a one-time opportunity for the nation’s clinical laboratories
and pathology groups. That’s because, over the next 60 months,
480,000 physicians are expected to purchase and deploy an EMR.
By comparison, only 120,000 physicians use an EMR in their daily
practice today.
Experts predict that clinical labs and pathology groups may soon
be overwhelmed as large numbers of physician clients ask for a
LIS-to-EMR interface. Their goal will be to use their new EMR
to order lab tests and get results that can be downloaded directly
into patient records.
Whether you’re a lab administrator, pathologist, or industry
consultant, you need to stay on top of these significant changes.
You can do that by registering to hear the latest Dark Report
and DarkDaily.com audio conference “How Meaningful
Use and EMR Adoption Will Reshape Your Lab’s Competitive
Future—and Its Profitability” held on Tuesday,
September 28, 2010.
Three
Experts on LIS-to-EMR Interfaces
Listen as three lab informatics experts provide vital information
on three key areas of laboratory information technology: the laboratory
information system (LIS), the web browser-based lab-test ordering/resulting
service, and LIS–EMR interfaces.
First you’ll hear LIS expert Kelly Feist from Sunquest Information
Systems, whose clients include many of the nation’s largest
independent laboratories, academic centers, community hospitals,
and pathology groups.
Feist will offer insight in three areas: First, she’ll explain
how your lab’s LIS vendor can help by providing the resources
necessary to deliver working LIS-to-EMR interfaces. Next, she’ll
share case studies of how “best of class” lab customers
are using LIS to meet physician requests for a direct lab-test
orders/results reporting interface with their EMR. And finally,
Feist will identify the major pitfalls that your lab should avoid
as it strives to connect its LIS to the EMRs of office-based physicians.
Making Browser-Based Ordering Systems
Work with EMRs
Our next speaker, Robert D. Atlas of Atlas Development Corporation,
is an expert in web browser-based services that support lab-test
orders/reporting by physicians, Atlas will show you how labs with
browser-based capabilities can enable direct lab-test ordering
and results reporting with the EMRs of their physician clients.
He’ll explain why you should expect the unexpected—because
technology advances make it possible for labs to use browser-based
capabilities to support an effective LIS-to-EMR interface.
Our final speaker will give you an inside look from the EMR side
of the table, Pat Wolfram from Ignis Systems, Inc. will explain
why many of the best-selling EMR products have significant limitations
in their ability to support a smooth LIS-to-EMR interface. More
important, he will provide you with a road map for crafting both
a strategy and a capability that permits your laboratory to quickly
and efficiently implement an interface between the LIS and the
EMR to deliver clean, complete electronic test orders to your
laboratory.
When physicians start installing EMRs, they’ll turn to their
labs for a working LIS-to-EMR interface. If you can’t deliver
a useful interface, they’ll look for a lab that can. Don’t
lose your physicians to competing labs! Make sure you can deliver
an effective LIS-to-EMR interface right now by ordering
the live recorded audio for this very timely audio conference
today.

of the panelists when we open up the phone lines for live Q&A.
Here's just some of what you’ll learn during this in-depth
90-minute conference:
The
latest on EMR "meaningful use" requirements and how
they impact lab integration.
Which
EMR systems best integrate with lab services.
How
to turn your lab's web browser-based solution into a LIS-to-EMR
interface.
Overlooked
ways your lab could benefit from the federal government's $2
billion investment in regional extension centers (RECs) and
state-sponsored health information exchanges (HIEs) to facilitate
EMR implementation.
Why
information technology is your lab's trump card to becoming
a key player in the emerging connected-care paradigm.
Unique
value-added services your lab can deliver to help physicians
meet "meaningful use" objectives.
Benefits
of clean-order capture: the secrets of synchronizing orders
from EMRs with results from the LIS so your lab captures a clean
order, distributes the right result, files a clean claim, and
gets paid on first submission.
How
to unleash the power of a robust rules engine and embedded web
services order-entry platform in the physician's EMR to enhance
the clinician's workflow while improving lab test utilization.
New
trends and applications in LIS software solutions.
Using
technology to increase service-line profitability.
How
technological solutions can enhance lab capacity and improve
functional capability without adding to staff.
…plus
much more!
