PRE - Interfacing: Patient Record Extraction
An increased emphasis on physician office opportunities will require laboratories to fully
leverage existing IT products and build additional capabilities. Our physician office
management interfaces are intended to extend and streamline a laboratories interface
capabilities.
Interfacing to the practice management system in a physician office is one of the most
challenging aspects of laboratory order and result automation. This is mostly the legacy
of the large number of vendors providing physician office practice management systems and
the use of non-standard protocols for data exchange. Very few existing practice management
systems have an open interface capability.
Our Practice Management Interface is a combined software and hardware solution that
automatically and non-invasively captures demographic and insurance data from existing
physician office management systems for use by other laboratory order entry systems.
The Practice Management Interface is affordable, immediately available, easy to implement,
use, and support, and does not involve extensive training or downtime for the end-user.
The Practice Management Interface leverages a variety of technologies and techniques that
allows us to reliably connect to systems across several platforms. The Practice Management
Interface has the ability to interface to systems running under Unix, Windows, and DOS.
While formal system interfaces developed with standard electronic data interchange (EDI)
protocols like HL7 are always the good technical solution, the business requirements of the
individual practice can not always be met with these solutions. Many constraints may exist
including implementation time, cost, vendor availability or capability, IS resources, and a
dozen other real world considerations. In these cases, the Halfpenny Technologies PRE
Interface is real world solutions for a critical business connection.
