How
does APEX integrate with any HIS? |
| |
Apex has been designed as a
plug and play module to help to integrate to any HIS having any
type of backend.
|
|
|
What
is the level of investment for LIS? |
| |
Apex has been designed as plug
and play modules therefore the pricing depends on the modules that
are taken by the institution. Apex has a core system and Optional
Systems.
|
|
|
What
if the Billing has to be updated after the test are conducted in
the lab , does Apex supports such activity? |
| |
Apex Plug and Play module has
been designed to take care of any intricate matters associated with
the working of the hospital, such matters are understood during
the study and Apex is tuned accordingly.
|
|
|
What
are the types of interfacing and does Apex support it? |
| |
There are two types of interfacing
Unidirectional & Bi-directional Interfacing, Unidirectional
Interfacing would help in only transferring the data from the equipment
to the computer.Bi-Directional interfacing would eliminate any involvement
of the manpower for the Operational aspects of the medical equipment
thereby reducing the turn around time for the Tests conducted. APEX
supports both types of interfacing.
|
|
Does
Apex follow health standards such as HL7 & LOINC? |
| |
Yes Apex has been designed
by taking care into the latest health standards.
|
|
|
What
is the time frame to implement an LIS where there is integration to
HIS? |
| |
To implement Apex in a hospital
that has an HIS it would take less than 45 Days.
|
|
Why
should we invest in an LIS even if we have a Lab software in the existing
HIS? |
| |
APEX LIS helps you to streamline
the operation of a important revenue generation unit in a Hospital.
Efficiency is achieved by Apex because it is developed on the Concepts
of Total Quality Management.
|
|
What
are the areas of automation that Apex takes care of? |
| |
Apex takes care of activities
from the Sample enquiry , Patient Preparation, Sample Preparation,
Phlebotomy at various levels, Sample distribution, Bar-coding, Accessation
Methodologies, Work area monitoring, Quality Assurances to take
care of human Errors, Interfacing of medical equipment's, Dispatch
activity at different floors, Electronic data of patients viewed
at all areas, Internet applications, Intranet Applications, Mobile
messaging and many more.
|
|
Does
Apex improve the revenue flow? |
| |
Revenue generation is possible
if the Turn Around Time (TAT) for the entire Working of the lab
is improved. Thereby improving the following
|
| |
|
Schedule
management |
| |
|
Quantification
of quality control |
| |
|
Reduction
in man hours |
| |
|
Reduction
in Duplication of jobs |
| |
|
Reduction
manual errors |
| |
|
Runtime
availability of accurate logistics |
| |
Thereby achieving
TQM in a Lab. |
|
How
would you do service incase there is a downtime for the software? |
| |
VAHS provides a dedicated server
which is connected to net 24Hrs and is monitored by our Customer
service department. All our clients are connected to this server
and thereby achieving reduced downtime for the system located anywhere
in the world . Also our clients are from Middle East and India ,
the regular services are provided from Our H.O in Mumbai (India).
|
|
What
are the hardware requirements for Apex? |
| |
Hardware requirements for Apex
depends upon the exact nature of the implementation to be done and
can be discussed in person . But the minimum configuration for an
Server would be any latest server available and nodes would be PIII,
512 MB RAM.
|
|
What
is the methodology used for remote servicing? |
| |
VAHS follows the windows terminal
services (Microsoft Technology). With this services any computer
could be connected remotely to the VAHS server and would be just
as if any customer service executive is sitting on the server at
the site.
|
|
What
is the security during such remote connectivity? |
| |
Connectivity to the server
is done only after the client provides requisite permission to VAHS
executive and he is able to access only those files which are related
to the software.
