POC & Critical Care Connectivity & Information Management...
The Way it Should Be!

Point-of-care and critical care device connectivity continues to be a high priority issue for hospitals, point-of-care coordinators, respiratory care managers and care-givers. In a period where mainstream lab based instrumentation is automatically interfaceable to an LIS or HIS system, it seems unimaginable that nearly 70% of all point-of-care tests never make it to the patients electronic medical record*. Clearly POC testing can only bring the benefit of improved patient care if immediate, high quality testing is consistently available. Many factors such as user certifications, on-time quality control testing and up-to-date reagent control must be managed effectively. Considering the decentralized nature of point-of-care testing, only through open and user-friendly connectivity solutions is improved patient care a possibility.

AegisPOC from Laboratory Data Systems, Inc is the first truely web-based solution on the market that tailors to the specific needs of POC (managed from the lab) and Critical Care (managed from Respiratory Care or Lab). The design of AegisPOC ensures that all groups have the functionality they require to manage their testing programs in the manner best suited to them. Through specific workflow, functionality and reporting AegisPOC provides a system that all testing groups involved can work with.

AegisPOC can provide connectivity with any vendors POC or critical care instrument including glucose, blood gas, cardiac marker, coagulation and others, via a direct interface or through an alternative electronic data interface. All standard communication protocols including ASTM, HL7, POCT-1A (CIC) and proprietary protocols are supported. As well, the system provides a single user interface point of control for all functions related to all instruments. The system offers several unique features and functionalities that set it apart from any other solution on the market. Contact us directly with any questions or comments you might have.
