Labtest.com Teams Up With Leading Lab Information Specialist

Midland Park, New Jersey, December 12, 2000—Labtest.com has announced it will partner with Seacoast Laboratory Data Systems to market its new Internet-based system that allows labs to deliver test results in real-time via the world wide web. Seacoast is one of the nation’s most respected laboratory information system (LIS) consultants serving more than 400 clients for nearly 15 years.

“Seacoast is a perfect partner to help us market the Labtest.com service to commercial and outreach laboratories,” said Bill Seay, president of Labtest.com. “Seacoast specializes in setting up and maintaining LIS systems. This partnership allows us access to Seacoast’s talented LIS maintenance capability and their growing client base.”

Labtest.com was built by lab focused information specialists and provides online ordering, data management, correlation capabilities and access to education and interpretation information. The system is browser-based which means no proprietary hardware or software is required.

“We’ve been patiently waiting and watching as this new Internet technology develops,” said John Herring, president of Seacoast. “With their best-of-breed application and superior knowledge of how laboratories and doctors relate day-to-day, we believe that Labtest.com has built a system we can recommend to our clients with confidence.”

Labtest.com enables clinicians to fully utilize the service from anywhere they have access to the Internet and a standard web browser. The test results are dynamically displayed with abnormal results highlighted. Physicians can also access past results to graph patient result histories. Not only does Labtest.com allow physicians to securely and conveniently interface with the lab to order and receive tests, but they also have the option of forwarding results directly on to their patients.
