Background
Nearly fifteen years after stand-alone Anatomic Pathology Laboratory Information Systems have become commonplace in laboratories across the country, and while those products still employ the same basic technologies, PathSync is proud to introduce THE revolutionary stand-alone AP LIS for the next decade and beyond – Lab Manager.
With an architecture that benefits from agile development to keep it current and a team of industry leaders to guide its development, PathSync’s Lab Manager is set to become the new gold-standard for pathology software. Not only does PathSync go above and beyond the reporting needs of the pathologist, we address the management needs of the practice, on-line requisitioning, inventory management and billing. Our focus is on TWO things – the PATIENT and you, the PATHOLOGIST.
Surgical pathology – features
Simple. Simple. Simple. Easy, user-defined workflow management solutions allow you to focus on treatment of the patient and more easily capture and recall your diagnoses.
Workflow Management? What a concept! With dashboards and user centric workflow solutions, PathSync’s Lab Manager allows you to better manage your cases and Turn Around Times to better service the patient and your customers. Workflow management and monitoring not only increases your productivity, but will help decrease your costs and improve your bottom line.
Tracking? Only if you’re interested in patient safety. Fully functional bar-code tracking is available with PathSync’s Lab Manager product. CORE functionality allows you to track specimens, blocks and slides throughout the process. Why should you pay extra for functionality that protects the patient?
Connectivity? Of course. Connectivity between instruments and other systems will allow you to better manage your data and your costs. Multiple EMRs? No problem. PathSync recognizes the need for your practice to be flexible - and connected.
Power? Maybe too much. There’s open architecture and then there is O P E N architecture. Lab Manager is flexible on the front end and flexible on the back end.
Savings? There’s never enough. Be it money or time, Lab Manager has been developed and priced to help you justify replacing your antiquated system. Just think, you can improve your workflow AND reduce costs.
Cytopathology – features
Too often, Cytopathology is overlooked, pushed aside or just given lip-service. Not in Lab Manager. Working directly with Cytotechnologists and Cytopathologists, PathSync has focused on improving the workflow and data entry methodologies to enhance the end-user’s experience and reduce turnaround times.
Why should Cytology suffer and not benefit from all the power and flexibility histology modules receive?
Dermatopathology – features
With the power and flexibility offered through Lab Manager, the Dermatopathology workflow can finally be finally addressed. Simple/quick accessioning and resulting tools allow the end use to minimize their time working in the system.
Autopsy – features
Ditto for Autopsy.
Electronic signature
Lab Manager is fully capable of providing an electronic signature. What’s unique is that we even offer the option to still physically sign your reports – and yet have the downstream benefits of an electronically signed out report.
Image capture
Simple capture of images and simple placement on the report. It’s that simple. Whether you are capturing gross or micro images or scanning in requisitions or consultation reports, Lab Manager will provide powerful tools to aid your workflow. We understand your marketing and educational needs and have teamed up with resources specifically knowledgeable in the area of image capture.
Patient lookups
Patient lookups. Case lookups. Result lookups. Code lookups. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And more.
Internet reporting
An imperative method of delivering patient report data back to your referring physicians is the though online/internet patient reporting. While most systems consider this an add-on feature, PathSync’s Lab Manager includes this functionality as an essential part of the CORE system. Online/internet reporting will allow you to compete against the larger stand-alone reference laboratories and re-capture market share by offering superior online reporting functionality and enhanced online customer service to your clients.
Billing
With a complete billing service behind you, PathSync will allow you to improve your collections. By choosing either our compete billing service as a send-out solution or our industry leading software as an in-house solution, you will position yourself for improved collections. With more than 10 years experience performing professional component billing for pathologists, we can help you arrive at a solution that is beneficial for your organization.
Voice recognition
PathSync’s Lab Manager fully supports industry leading voice recognition products. A user-specified workflow using pre-defined templates allows voice dictation to be incorporated at the gross, micro/final, non-gyn, etc steps. Users wishing to introduce voice to their workflow should particularly be interested in PathSync’s methodology as it is simple and easy to use/implement.
Maintenance support
With your subscription service to PathSync’s Lab Manager, you never have to worry about maintenance and support. Upgrades and customer-focused support are included and part of your subscription fee.
