Transferring Complex Data Sets - Microbiology

• Definition• Virology, Serology, Bacteriology

• Challenge• Structured report types for components such as antibiotics and

sensitivities

• Ageing LIMS & their configurability

• Standardisation

• Solution approach• Working groups with willing customers & LIMS suppliers



01/01/2019

Transferring Complex Data Sets - Genomics

• Definition• WGS and non-WGS across the recently formed Genomics

Laboratory Hubs (GLHs) in England.

• Challenge• Industrialisation – integrating ordering ability into existing systems

• Request and report definition suitable for end users

• Messaging standards. HL7 v2, FHIR?

EQA for Point of Care Testing

• Definition• Automate the return of EQA reports to EQA providers, removing

the need for transcription and eliminating error.

• Challenge• Not all laboratories use LIMS to return POCT results to clinical

records.

• The transactional relationship differs (order to report).

• Solution approach• Run a POC with a local laboratory and an EQA provider.

Commercial model -Overview and need for chnage

• Easy to understand

• Easy to procure

• Fair

• Transparent

• Lowered the barrier to entry



01/01/2019

Pricing model for 2021

• By April 2021 will are introducing a flexible pay by message model

• Fairer pricing based usage rather than 1 size fits all

• You will have the opportunity earn credits to your account for the more tests your refer

• As new functionality is released – no module charges

• Moving forward offers greater flexibility for your operation

• No large maintenance price increases on functionality – just pay for what you use



01/01/2019

Next Steps• During 2020 there will be series of updates from

us explaining the further detail of these and other projects as they progress

• Sign up for the newsletter [email protected]

• Workshops this afternoon on elements of the ICS project. Alternatively speak to the team today
