Greenwich Hospital Selects MITEM to Integrate Physician Office Practices
MITEM's Blue Iris eLaborate and Blue Iris Connect to be used to Integrate Lab Outreach Customers with Greenwich Hospital's MEDITECH MAGIC System
MENLO PARK, CA - September 06, 2006 - MITEM Corporation, a provider of integration software solutions and clinical applications for healthcare, today announced that Greenwich Hospital has selected MITEM's Blue Iris eLaborate and Blue Iris Connect products to automate the lab ordering and results posting process for key physician office lab customers. The Blue Iris family of products provides real time, bi-directional integration between MEDITECH MAGIC, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems and physician offices in laboratory outreach programs.
Blue Iris eLaborate provides a flexible, easy-to-use, web-based order entry application that can connect to virtually any hospital information system, laboratory information system and physician practice management system.
“Our goal with Blue Iris eLaborate is to provide connectivity to physicians in our outreach program. This will give us a competitive edge against both local and national labs and will allow us to maintain our commitment to delivering superior patient care in addition to satisfying the need for on-demand lab ordering and results,” said Maria McGuire, LIS technical specialist. “We selected Blue Iris eLaborate because the features inherent in the product meet the needs of our high-volume lab business and help us remain highly competitive,” she added.
The Blue Iris Connect module is being used to provide automated connectivity from Blue Iris eLaborate to MEDITECH MAGIC. This automation eliminates many of the error-prone manual processes that can be a part of ordering lab work. In addition, Blue Iris Connect can automatically admit a new patient through MEDITECH for registration and billing purposes-a process that must take place before a lab test can be ordered.
All Blue Iris applications and solutions run on the Blue Iris Core - a powerful and time-tested integration platform that provides real time, bidirectional integration with MEDITECH MAGIC applications and other hospital systems. The Blue Iris Core technology non-invasively integrates with MAGIC applications - this means that integration occurs via the data terminal stream; therefore, all Blue Iris applications and solutions capture and retain MAGIC's native business rules, logic, prompts and security.
