Several Atlas clients drive more than 60% (and in some casesmore than 90%) of their outreach order volume electronically intotheir LIS using Lab OuterWare. They take advantage of LabOuterWare’s capability to augment gaps in other outreach enter-prise systems, including: system flexibility and configurability,multistaged ordering, and the integration capabilities of AtlasLabEMR.
Atlas is flexible in developing pricing models that meet the needsof prospective clients. The most common models for LabOuterWare include the capital license model, with an upfrontlicense cost and ongoing annual maintenance fees, and a monthlyutilization-based model that is linked to the volume of orders andresults handled by the system.
Intensive training for system administrators, lab support staff, andthe lab’s sales force is provided as part of the initial implementa-tion. This is supported by extensive online help with quick refer-ence guides and other support tools available to users as well.
Atlas maintains an extensive online searchable issue tracking data-base that allows users to research similar issues and resolutions.
Lab OuterWare can demonstrate a track record of driving 90%+ ofthe orders in high-volume labs electronically. Its powerful integra-tion capabilities are supported by a unique customer service dash-board that allows proactive workflow management with issues andexceptions reporting. Lab OuterWare’s next generation architectureis capable of supporting integrated disease management, decisionsupport, automated public health reporting, and other initiativescritical to the future of health care today.

�� - The core engine transforms between disparate message for-
mats, including HL7, X12, EDI, XML, and binary, and providestransport mediation.
The Meddius Integration Router is a rack-mountable, highly scala-ble integration appliance built specifically to enable hospitals andhealth care vendors to quickly add real-time, intelligent system-to-system message routing capabilities to their networks. For moreinformation, go to www.clpmag.com.
The Meddius’ Integration Router is priced as a monthly subscrip-tion per appliance. Because pricing is not based on number ofusers, connections, or message transactions, it reduces costs by80% over traditional software alternatives, and requires no softwareto purchase, install, or maintain.
Because Meddius customizes, deploys and manages the IntegrationRouter; little to no training is needed. The device is preconfiguredfor each unique environment, which usually takes only 1 to 3 weeks;multiple Integration Routers can be configured within a cluster.
On top of our 365x24x7 technical support, Meddius providesremote monitoring and management for all appliances. Our uniqueoffering doesn’t put any burden on our customers’ existing IT staffor infrastructure. The combination of our hardware-based approachto integration and our technical support services makes theIntegration Router a zero administration device.
Unlike software solutions currently in the marketplace, theIntegration Router provides common HL7 message transformation,seamless integration, and high-performance routing functions in asingle network device. All appliances are remotely managed andmonitored under an affordable subscription-based pricing model.
