Pinnacle Microbiology Module
|
|
The PINNACLE Microbiology suite of modules including
Bacteriology and Virology/Serology, offer a range of
facilities to satisfy the demands of a modern laboratory.
Operating in either stand-alone mode or integrated with other
PINNACLE modules, the system is modern, easy to use and
highly flexible, designed by laboratory staff, specifically for
the Microbiology environment, with many user-defined
formats, procedures and parameters.
|
|
Patient Database
|
|
All PINNACLE modules, including Microbiology, are linked
to common patient demographic information using the power
and flexibility of the ORACLE Relational Database
Management System.
|
|
Request Entry
|
|
Request entry screen layouts are customised for each
laboratory and they can also be implemented on a centralised
basis. They are designed for maximum ease of use and for
enhanced productivity, including the capture of any
discipline-specific data required, such as paired sample
processing and the allocation of default investigations by
sample type.
|
|
Result Entry
|
|
Results can be entered quickly and efficiently through the use
of a range of flexible procedures, including user-defined
microscopy and antibiotic sensitivity batteries. Routines for
batch entry of negative and positive results are also available.
|
|
Worksheets / Worklists
|
|
A range of routines are provided to capture and manage the
technical data associated with the processing of parts, blocks
and slides, with all processes and procedures fully user-defined.
Electron microscopy work can be recorded and slide
label and cassette printing can also be performed.
|
|
Analyser Interfaces
|
|
PINNACLE supports a wide range of automated equipment
through the use of PC-based software, including both uni- and
bi-directional analysers
|
|
Suppression / Security of Results
|
|
PINNACLE provides both user-defined automatic and
manual suppression of results from the final report, such as
internal laboratory data or antibiotic sensitivity information.
Sensitive data such as HIV results are restricted from normal
access, unless users are specifically authorised to view them.
|
|
Authorisation
|
|
On-line, semi-automatic and fully automatic processing is
supported, with easy access to patient history during
authorisation.
|
|
Results Reporting
|
|
Interim and final reports are available, customised to your
individual requirements, and including facilities such as
multiple report destinations and electronic transmission of
results.
|
|
|
Enquiries
|
|
Accessible within the Microbiology laboratory, across other
disciplines or to authorised external users, the enquiry
facilities provide fast and secure access to patient result data.
|
|
Comprehensive Reporting and Management Information
|
|
PINNACLE data can be analysed and reported upon using a
range of industry-standard SQL tools including the powerful,
data analysis and reporting tools BusinessObjects and Oracle
Discoverer.
These tools, in addition to assisting in laboratory
management, can be used to analyse and produce
epidemiological and infection control reports,
complementing the range of standard outputs including
isolate/antibiotic analysis, PHLS and CDSC reporting, and
many others.
