Hc1.com and 4medica announce collaboration

Hc1.com, developer of a health care relationship management platform, has partnered with 4medica, a provider of cloud-based data management and clinical data exchange that gives clinicians a unified, real-time view of patient information across disparate care locations.
Under the partnership, 4medica will market and resell Hc1.com’s Lab4 Outreach Analytics solution. The product unlocks siloed lab data to monitor trends in volume, turnaround time, and exceptions, and it allows lab managers to compare business trends across referring physician networks. 4medica will also expedite the integration of LIS data into the Hc1 Healthcare Relationship Cloud, where it is automatically organized into real-time provider profiles powering dashboards that immediately report on issues and opportunities.

Technidata releases new generation of middleware

Technidata has introduced the second generation of its TDBactiLink middleware solution and launched a dedicated website, www.microbiology-middleware.com, to detail the advantages of the middleware for microbiology and bacteriology laboratories.
The product receives electronic test requests from a lab information system, manages receipt of the sample, and resends the results after they have undergone clinical or technical review.

Among the features that have been added to the second generation of ^TDBactiLink are HL7 2.5 LIS communication for orders and results, additional reports for epidemiology, a new worklist with workflow filters, and smart clinical review adapted to bacteriology.
