A Clinical Connection Manager
Gathering, managing, and transmitting data from multiple
sources is not what you were hired for. Dawning’s ResultNet/Plus software allows you to concentrate on running your lab, not your communications network.
ResultNet®/Plus eliminates the complexity associated with transmitting
result data from largescale or multi-site laboratories to host information systems, by providing a central location for
all interface connections. Designed for use with Dawning interfaces, this innovative software solution streamlines data
transmissions from multiple instruments, standardizes and transmits it to your host system or multiple host systems in industry standard formats. (HL7, ASTM, or both)
Connectivity Designed With the User in Mind
Healthcare information technology changes so frequently
that having flexible connectivity solutions is a necessity. The addition of ResultNet/Plus to your lab operations can help
you keep up with the rapid pace of these changes. Through support of a variety of transport protocols including TCP/IP sockets, FTP, Email, and others,
the customer is able to select a combination of communication parameters most compatible with the individual LIS or other information system, minimizing host configuration efforts.
ResultNet’s GUI presentation of device connections and an interactive display of data
activity make monitoring your connections easier than ever. The main screen also contains a window displaying queued, sent, or received records and another
for displaying error or warning messages. The process is further simplified by the addition of an automatic Email feature notifying key personnel of errors or warnings.
Utilizes system resources wisely
ResultNet consumes very little CPU resource (typically <10%), allowing it to run concurrently
with other applications on the workstation. Alternately, ResultNet/Plus can be used as an embedded component of a separate data management
system (without Dawning interfaces) to provide a robust host communication gateway.
Features and Benefits:
- Communicates simultaneously with multiple host systems each using a different format – you decide how your systems talk
- All records processed by ResultNet are archived for later retrieval in the event of a data loss, ensuring data security
- Interactive diagnostic and utility functions – allow you to flash update Dawning interface operating systems and quickly trouble-shoot interface communication errors
- Password security restricts access to designated individuals
- Can be used to manage connections to ancillary systems within and outside the organization – no need for disparate systems
- GUI representation of devices and connections enable users to easily monitor communication activity
- User interface allows you to collate data from individual instrument connections and hold or activate multiple devices at once, giving you complete control over your data collection and transmission
- Modular add-on programs like Broadcast Manager and ancillary system connections offer greater functionality within your current environment
- Database for queued data – guards against data loss in the event of system downtime
- Integration into custom devices – protects your investment and makes monitoring a breeze
Optional Modules:
Broadcast Manager Module - designed to add functionality in environments where multiple instruments,
typically chemistry, share a common workload. This module takes download information (specimen IDs and test orders) received from the host system and broadcasts it to all instruments linked to
the module, enabling instrument operators to load any specimen on any instrument at any time, while assuring the corresponding download information is available at the instrument level.
Broadcast Manager addresses the problems associated with memory cleanup by automatically deleting
pending orders for completed tests and downloads based on the results received from the various analyzers in the array, with no interruption lab workflow.
Bio-Rad® Unity Pro Connection Module - automatically extracts QC material analysis records from the result record stream and
reformats for transmission to the Bio-Rad Unity Pro™ QC Management System. This connection provides all the benefits of the Unity Pro QC system without the hassle of manual QC data entry. This
application includes the ability to map specimen ID's between the analyzer and the Unity Pro system when necessary, to encode the lot and level information for each control.
Ancillary System Connection Modules - are generally specific to the individual application, and can run concurrently with
ResultNet controlling instrument connections on the same workstation. Contact your Dawning sales representative for information on ancillary system connection module pricing and availability for both
ResultNet Plus and JResultNet. The average base price for these modules is $1500.
Network Instrument Connection Modules - In an SNI - ResultNet/Plus interface environment, TCP/IP based instrument connections are handled
via DLL modules added to ResultNet, eliminating the need for an SNI at these instruments. This approach keeps all aspects of the instrument connection network based and provides the host connection
flexibility of ResultNet. Contact your Dawning sales representative for details on TCP/IP instrument modules.
Downtime ID Module - allows you to map temporary specimen ID's used during LIS downtime to
valid ID's that are available once the LIS is back online. By automatically mapping the temporary ID's to valid ID's you save the time associated with the manual entry of complete result data records generated
during system downtime. The Downtime ID Module requires a small amount of customization for each host system and can be available within days of order. Contact your sales representative for additional information.
