Integrated Software Solutions are pleased to announce that OMNILAB has been successfully implemented Live At Birmingham Children’s Hospital (BCH) Neonatal Laboratory in the United Kingdom.

OMNILAB interfaces to 22 Child Health Authorities for the region taking in patient demographic updates and delivering results. Data Take-on incorporated Demographics and Results, going back 23 years to 1985. Results were transformed from several old coding systems into the current National Screening Result Codes and comments and are held in the database providing immediate access for statistical analysis. All data analysis supports standard ODBC and SQL access, enabling BCH to utilise other statistical tools as well as the in-built Q-Writer ad-hoc reporting tool.

Interfacing to analytical instruments including Blood Spot Multipunch, Autodelfia, Tandem and Variant analysers, is achieved using ISS-AIH, Integrated Software Solution’s Analytical Instrument Hub.

OMNILAB incorporates a powerful Rules module which is used for automatically determining and adding in-lab repeat tests based upon criteria provided by BCH. The rules also incorporate a fully integrated version of “Rodney’s Rules” for evaluation of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) results. This feature is available to other Screening laboratories which can support web services provided by Integrated Software Solutions. The Rules module also provides automatic generation of Recall and follow-up letters, where samples and/or data is insufficient,damaged or unsuitable or where Results are equivocal and require a repeat card collection.

OMNILAB also supports manual entry of requests for tests and printed/electronic report output, enabling BCH to easily provide services to laboratories and organisations outside their area.
