According to the Joint Commission, the clinical laboratory generates as much as 80 percent of the information that physicians rely on for medical decisions and test results account for some 80-90 percent of the data in a patient record. As EMR adoption rises, integrating laboratory data directly into the physician office’s EMR systems has significant advantages in improving patient care creating efficiencies and reducing clerical errors.

All test ordering options have intelligent patient matching capabilities that can dramatically reduce or eliminate the need for manual or duplicate data entry for every provider’s office. Our result delivery options make it fast and easy to get results in a variety of formats. These options improve accuracy and turnaround time and reduces errors.
