Integrating i-STAT Into Your Electronic Systems

i-STAT Integration Into Point-of-Care Data Management and Electronic Medical Records

The i-STAT^® System can integrate test results with your Lab Information System (LIS) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR). This is achieved through flexible connectivity and interfacing solutions, which serve to ensure your facility gets real-time results in the patient electronic chart.

i-STAT System integration with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS)/Electronic Medical Records (EMR)

The i-STAT System connects to the Point-of-Care Data Management System of your choice and then interfaces to the EMR via your LIS. Integration options include:

• The Central Data Station System from Abbott Point of Care
• Abbott Diabetes Care PrecisionWeb^®
• Medical Automation Systems RALS+^™ RALS^® Plus
• Telcor Quick-Linc^®

Addressing Documentation Challenges with STATNotes^™

STATNotes is a highly customizable documentation solution for the i-STAT 1 handheld. This unique feature facilitates timely documentation of complex and critical data by prompting the user to enter information into the i-STAT 1 during the testing process. The information is then automatically uploaded to the patient chart with the test results. Customizing your i-STAT System to prompt data entry:

• streamlines workflow
• helps reduce errors
• allows for increased efficiency
• facilitates compliance

STATNotes can help guide users to be compliant with The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals and hospital policies. For example, many of our customers use STATNotes to capture comprehensive ventilator setting information, documentation of critical test notification, and “read back” acknowledgment of critical tests and critical values.

Data Management and Laboratory Regulatory Compliance

The i-STAT System gives you control over who can use the device and access test results. It also offers many features designed to help laboratories maintain regulatory compliance, such as:

• managing operator certification and device lockout
• reporting on operator performance
• reporting on both liquid and equivalent quality control
• reporting on reagent usage
• laboratory Information System interfacing

Abbott Point of Care will work with your team to ensure seamless integration with your data management system.
