HL7 Interface for Nova Biomedical Glucose Meters

Scan patients barcoded labels/bracelets and perform the Glucose testing. Once the testing is completed and the Meter is docked, the test results are automatically uploaded to the patients’ Electronic Health Records (EHR).

The Nova StatStrip™ point-of-care glucose monitor enables bedside glucose testing with analytical performance that approaches the quality of central laboratory testing. StatStrip’s 6-second analysis time, color touch screen operation, and simple operating steps make bedside glucose testing fast and easy. Its small, 1.2 microliter sample size results in easy sample acquisition and minimal pain for the patient.

StatStrip incorporates four well glucose measuring strip technologies. Nova’s exclusive Multi-Well™ system measures and corrects hematocrit interference as well as interferences from acetaminophen (Tylenol), uric acid, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), maltose, galactose, xylose, and lactose. StatStrip eliminates oxygen interference for accurate glucose results regardless of the sample’s oxygen status.

StatStrip requires no calibration coding, avoiding another potential source of error. An incorrect input of a calibration code can change the reported glucose value by up to 40%.

OpimumSeries Document Imaging and Archiving

Document Imaging can be added to your Optimum Graphical Interface. Documents can be scanned for Patients, Accounts Payable, General Ledger or any other OptimumSeries module. Bring the power and convenience of commercial document imaging to your organization as a very attractive price.

To start scanning you will need a document scanner installed to your PC. Once the software module is installed, special document folders are added to the user interface used to store the scanned images. Single or multi-page documents can be scanned and saved to these folders. Documents are stored with date/time stamps and comments.

Scanned documents or faxes can be read directly on your computer screen. Send documents to others as e-mail attachments or faxes.

Examples: Scan the discharge hospital discharge documents and store then in a folder under the patient’s name.

Scan Bills of Lading into a vendor’s account to keep record of the items received.

OptimumSeries Integrates MEDS – Electronic Medicaid Application Submissions

ADL announces a joint project to integrate RES Systems MEDS System to provide for electronic submissions of New York City Medicaid applications.

The agreement with RES Systems is to integrate their MEDS – Medicaid Application Submission software directly with the OptimumSeries Interface. Since MEDS interfaces directly with the New York City Medicaid Program’s EDITS system, facilities will be able to electronically process Nursing Home Applications, Conversions, Status Changes, and Recertifications directly from the OptimumSeries user Interface.

——————————————————————————–

ADL OptimumSeries users will be able to transfer information to/from the MEDS module.

RES Services – MEDS system has been EDITS-certified since 2007.
