2 1 The Strategic Laboratory Portal. Product Overview The overall efficiency of a laboratory operation is determined increasingly by the consistency of the process chain, from the service request to the communication of results and findings. Here the integration of the submitters, whether it is the hospital or a general practitioner, plays a key role in the processes being designed. As a strategic laboratory portal, molis vt channel integrates sophisticated laboratory companies and their submitters into the overall control of the service provision of laboratory diagnostics based on the respective individual process rules. The molis vt channel web portal can be combined with practically any laboratory information system. The communication required for this is transparently controlled with the molis vt communicator and all data is safely transmitted. Integrated into the molis vt laboratory management system and connected to the billing module molis vt billing and the analysis and statistics platform molis vt insight, the laboratory portal molis vt channel is a comprehensive laboratory management solution everything comes from a single source, thus avoiding the need to create interfaces and the risk of system disruptions.

It supports all laboratory specific specialist disciplines, from standard analytics to microbiology. This enables its use in total care facilities as well as in specialised medical institutes. With its variable, configurable billing rules, molis vt channel caters for all business aspects the correct form of billing is determined already during the order creation. Medical Practices In contrast to many other systems, the system is webbased and users work directly on the current laboratory database. The submitters are connected online with their laboratory partners via secure communication channels all status displays and results are up-to-date at all times. When used for the networking of laboratories, submitters and patients, molis vt channel takes on an important strategic role and optimises customer relationships. Diagnostic Wide Area Network (DWAN) Multi-site laboratory networks are becoming increasingly prevalent as a result of the merger of hospital laboratories or specialist medical laboratories with satellite locations. The aim with such mergers is to counteract the centralisation trend in the market through collaborative work, quality optimisation and thus cost-efficiency. molis vt channel can combine the range of services offered by different laboratories and this leads to a united, transparent laboratory process for the end-user in a hospital or practice. The system really demonstrates its advantages when used in laboratory networks. The laboratory tests selected by the user are distributed to the specific laboratories, the generation of the required orders and the accompanying labelling of material automatically takes place directly using the logic of the target laboratory.

6 5 Medically Designed Interdisciplinary Telemedicine Standard Analytics molis vt channel is a newly developed interdisciplinary portal solution designed from scratch. The interests of different laboratory diagnostic fields were key considerations in the design of functions. For employees working with the system, the creation of mixed orders is noticeably more convenient. The overarching display of results, direct access to the version-controlled findings documents and the integrated image displays allow a high-level of transparency and an overview of all the laboratory diagnostic matters in the ward or medical practice. For the doctor all the diagnostic data relating to the patient is always up-to-date. This increases the quality of treatment and decreases the time required for making medically relevant decisions. For clinical chemistry tests, haematology tests and many other fields involving routine processes, specific customer profiles are available along with sets of requests that can be compiled by the user, document requests and full text searches. The sophisticated request logic ensures optimal sample and material selection at all times. Used together with the molis vt and molis laboratory management systems, the contextrelated calculated amount of material is suggested to the submitter. Following order creation, the largely automated activation of samples occurs in the respective laboratory workflow. The laboratory results can be presented individually or cumulatively and the access to graphic curves, on request, facilitates the evaluation of findings. molis vt channel provides laboratories and submitters with a common platform for all medical laboratory issues.
