Labtest.com Launches Web-Based Service for Distribution of Medical Test
Results
Saves
time and money for labs while providing doctors and patients with secure,
real-time, interactive access to health information��
Midland Park, NJ, June 22, 2000�Labtest.com, a new
e-health connectivity company, announced today the launch of its service that
provides doctors and patients convenient and interactive access to medical
laboratory test results, via the World Wide Web.�
The new service offers a secure system for the dissemination and
retrieval of critical patient information in a timely and convenient manner.
Labtest.com
is a web-based system that does not require the installation of any proprietary
software or hardware.� Through
Labtest.com, a doctor with access to the Internet and a standard web browser
will now be able to order tests and analyze, organize and customize lab test
results from any commercial laboratory, using a password-protected login.� After review, �doctors will be able to share the results with their
patients seamlessly and hassle-free, via the same system.
�The emergence of the Internet offers an important
opportunity to enhance communication between patients, clinical laboratories,
and doctors,� said William Seay, President, Labtest.com.� �Our service is designed to simplify the
delivery of test results from medical laboratories to physicians and their
health-conscious patients.� And, by
providing doctors with the capability to view patient data in a more powerful
and dynamic format, we hope to improve the diagnostic process.�
On
a real time basis, Labtest.com will receive secure lab test result data from
participating commercial and hospital-based clinical laboratories.� The service will make the data available
exclusively to the doctors who ordered the tests, and will give these doctors
the choice and ability to forward the results to patients based on the
physician�s own customizable criteria.�
The system will allow for doctors to forward messages and test related
explanations to the patients as well.
�We developed the system with the interests of
clinical laboratories in mind,� explained Seay.� �Our attention to emerging technology and our awareness of the
public's thirst for knowledge about this critical component of their medical
record led us to create Labtest.com: One service that is equally dedicated to
cost effectiveness for labs; convenience, reliability and time efficiency for
physicians; and education
�We
anticipate that participating labs will realize economic benefits by
outsourcing their web-based reporting to Labtest.com, as opposed to building it
in-house,� said Seay.� �Doctors will be
able to manage lab test results more efficiently, saving valuable time and
improving patient satisfaction.� And, by
having convenient access to their medical lab test results, patients will be
more involved in their healthcare decisions.�
Dynamic Reporting
Capabilities
Unique reporting analysis capabilities are built
into Labtest.com to help doctors better diagnose and treat their patients.� Result data is dynamically displayed, as
opposed to a scanned image of a paper lab report. The display of results can be
customized in real time.� Additionally,
the doctor can �drill down� into specific parts of the report through
hyperlinks.�
Labtest.com, based in Midland Park, NJ, is an
e-health connectivity company that helps medical laboratories, doctors, and
patients manage lab test results, orders, and data online.� The company, which focuses exclusively on
medical laboratory solutions, has an experienced management team with an
average of 20 years each in the medical testing business.
