One of Europe's leading laboratory information systems is available for the first time in the Netherlands following iSoft's acquisition by IBA Health
Proven at more than 270 laboratories across Europe, iSoft LabCentre is being introduced in the Netherlands as part of IBA's drive to benefit from the synergies across the iSoft businesses.
LabCentre is a modern, scalable and full graphic laboratory information system for clinical chemical, bacteriological disciplines and blood bank and is used at laboratories in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Russia.
It is now also available in the UK.
LabCentre serves traditional laboratory needs but also uses leading-edge database design for easier adoption of emerging and evolving standards and technologies.
It supports flexible workflows to improve efficiency and supports ever-changing demands for clinical safety and laboratory accreditation.
It is highly scalable to meet specific laboratory requirements and operates across multiple sites.
LabCentre currently runs some of the largest distributed, integrated laboratory services in Europe.
It improves efficiency while ensuring that organisations adhere to the strictest safety and quality standards.
For example, order management and extensive management information come as standard.
A key feature is the ability to configure the software to support specific organisational processes so improving both workflow efficiency and staff utilisation.
Its powerful rules-based engine allows the user to control the transfer of specimens from requesting through to reporting.
A wide range of processes can be automated including results validation, queue allocation, cascade requesting, report formatting, and electronic results notification.
The configuration can be modified easily to reflect user experience or changes in working practices.
Gary Cohen, executive chairman ad CEO of IBA Health, said: "We see a huge opportunity for LabCentre in the Netherlands.
"This is a global solution to streamline workflows and delivers extensive management information to laboratory processes.
"Both are important for the Dutch market, which requires more process supporting systems.
"At present we rank among the leading suppliers of e-health solutions in the Netherlands, UK, Germany, and Spain."
