Three new key features have been added to Radiance, improving data-accessibility and support of connected analysers used in point-of-care testing locations
A new software release for Radiance, Radiometer's Stat analyzer management system, is now available worldwide.
The release, which includes versions 2.3 and 3.0, announces the beginning of Radiance's transition to become browser-compatible software.
Three new features have been added to improve data-accessibility and support of connected analyzers used in point-of-care testing locations.
Radiometer is the first solutions provider on the market to provide these features.
Three new key features have been added to Radiance, improving data-accessibility and support of connected analyzers used in point-of-care testing locations:.
Support for connecting point of care (POC) devices using the Poct1-A protocol; comprehensive access to current and archived data; encryption of data and communication with information systems.
First vendor to support Poct1-A devices.
Collecting patient results from POC devices, such as glucose meters, into the hospital's information and billing systems, has increasingly become a priority as POC testing grows.
Demand for connectivity recently culminated in the development of an industry standard communication protocol, Poct1-A.
Radiometer is the first solutions provider on the market to provide support for Poct1-A devices in its data and analyzer management system, Radiance.
Any new Poct1-A compatible device the hospital purchases can communicate with Radiance, allowing customers to use a single data management system (DMS) rather than one for every Poct device supplier.
Comprehensive access to data 'Access from anywhere' is a core theme in Radiance.
This includes secure access to data and to management of the Stat analyzer system from anywhere with hospital network access, local or wide area, intranet, Internet or wireless network.
With this release, Radiance begins a transition to browser-based, or thin-client access.
Dubbed the Radiance Portal, this marks the beginning of development of version 3 of Radiance, which increases the simplicity and availability of access to information and control of the system where it is needed, when it is needed.
When a single DMS is used to process results from many analyzers, database storage, backup and archiving become pertinent issues.
Radiance now includes the ability to search and display results both from archives made, as well as to data in the current database.
Encryption of data.
Security of data is increasingly a requirement to prevent unauthorized access to patient data.
Three areas of Radiance now use data encryption: the Radiance database; access to data via the Radiance Portal; and support for communication with information systems (such as LIS, HIS and CIS).
