Middleware/Data Management Solution to significantly streamline laboratory workflow

 

Client

This software company develops value-added solutions in data management for clinical laboratories. The company is experienced in the most advanced Microsoft and Internet technologies.

Problem

For manufacturers and clinical laboratories, software is the premier cause of postponements of instrument launches. The software that causes most delays is the one that mediates interactions between laboratory instruments and the laboratory information system (LIS) middleware. To reduce go-to-market times, the company had to improve its middleware solution. And the solution had to comply with strict regulations, including 21 CFR Part 11, FDA approval and CE marking.

Solution 

The OSF team built middleware based on open standards and a service-oriented architecture (SOA) framework. Running off a desktop system, the middleware views, tracks and manages all laboratory instruments from one location. This enables automatic validation and reporting of normal results according to rules programmed into the software. Heavy quality control documentation, testing and process maturity procedures were implemented throughout the development of the project to ensure compliance with all quality standards.

Results

The data management system helps streamline laboratory information processes for maximum efficiency. It helps the company deliver accurate and reliable clinical test results, eliminating LIS bottlenecks and enabling cost-effective lab operations.
