Information overload. More data from more studies. And more sources to sift through to find it. And it's only getting worse. MedAptus' Clinical Results module was developed to allow physicians to realize a new world where the right data for the right patient is available easy and instantly to help physicians make the right clinical decisions.
Benefits - Timely access to patient test data is critical to decision making and treatment planning. MedAptus’ Clinical Results application displays incoming and historical test results in a format that makes sense to physicians – reference ranges are included, abnormal values highlighted, and patterns trended over time.
Select Features - Deployed on mobile devices and designed to be intuitive to the physician user, accessing lab values via Clinical Results is fast, with embedded guidelines that support interpretation. A patient’s full history is always available for review, which is especially helpful in clinical settings where patients would tend to have chronic conditions.
How it Works - A group’s various clinical systems are interfaced to the application, which shares a patient pick list with Professional Charge Capture. The patient’s Results record updates as new data is available to the system – it takes only seconds during the patient encounter to access results in the context of patient history and the current problem list.
The Bottom Line
Delays in reviewing and communicating test results have been proven to lead to adverse situations for patients - and physicians. Leveraging mobile technology and existing information systems, MedAptus' Clinical Results provides physicians with immediate access to critical data, in the context of patient demographics, encounter histories, and problem lists.
Benefits
- Access to full patient results and clinical documentation (users aren't limited to a brief window)
- Rapid visualization of abnormal or out of range values via visual cues
- The ability to quickly trend results over time so that treatment can be tailored accordingly
- A seamless interface to existing systems, leveraging and extending current technology investments to include mobile results viewing
MedAptus' Clinical Results module is seamlessly integrated with its Professional Charge Capture solution. It is quickly accessible from the patient encounter screen and utilizes single sign-on technology to authorize access and audit activity. This just-in-time access enables providers to easily view test results or reports at the bedside or on the go, prior to making important clinical decisions.
Also unique to the application is its ability to display results from multiple source systems and settings of care, including off-site and send out labs. Such comprehensiveness permits physicians to respond quickly and manage disparate data efficiently, with a holistic view of the patient.

How it Works
The Clinical Results application utilizes an interface engine that translates and integrates incoming data streams from various clinical systems to a results server. When physicians' request results from their devices, a real-time call is made to the server. The server then returns the requested information back to the handheld, where it is displayed.
All data transfer is encrypted using state of the art security standards and is fully HIPAA compliant.
And while many similar systems are limited by how much data can be displayed in terms of length-of-time - perhaps one week or one month - the MedAptus solution has the power to display a complete record of patient results that is not bound by time parameters.
