Orchard Trellis bridges the gap between point-of-care testing and your EMR. With today’s healthcare challenges surrounding efficiency and accountability, and the economic pressures to do more with less, Trellis provides the optimal means for electronic connectivity to more effectively manage your POC testing (POCT). Orders & Results Management Software for POC Analyzers How are your point-of-care results getting into your EMR? Are they getting there accurately and in a timely manner? Point-of-care (POC) analyzers perform laboratory testing outside of the laboratory, and these results contribute to the overall diagnostic information a provider needs access to in the EMR. Unfortunately, POC testing poses some challenges. Because of low volume, remote locations, and limited connectivity capabilities inherent to many POC devices, most POC test results are not being captured in the EMR. If they are making it to the EMR, it involves manual entry—a time-consuming process subject to clerical errors. Orchard Trellis Orchard® Trellis™ is an orders and results management software program that serves as a simple “review, click, and go” cost-effective bridge for electronically passing orders and results between remote, low-volume POC analyzers and your EMR. Whether your POC testing is in a Protime clinic, a pediatrician’s office, a Lipid clinic, or any other POC testing facility, Trellis is the solution designed to eliminate these problems and electronically integrate POC results into your EMR. Implementing Orchard Trellis’ simple, cost-effective POC connectivity solution will help improve patient care and enhance the value of your POC testing by providing real-time results to your EMR. Additionally, Trellis will enable you to automate and electronically document your POCT QC, ensure accurate POC billing, and include your POC lab results in your data analytics, saving time and money and improving the utility of your POCT results. Physician Access Electronic Medical Record RESULTS ORDERS Simple & Efficient Connectivity to Your EMR Orchard Trellis orders and results software uses web services as the connectivity method to enable electronic integration between remote locations and your EMR. Orchard supports standard HL7 messaging to allow for ease in establishing EMR connectivity. POC orders placed in the EMR transmit into Trellis, which is interfaced with the POC analyzer. The analyzer transmits completed results to Trellis, where they can be reviewed and released directly into the EMR. In addition, you can implement auto verification rules to further improve the turnaround time of specified POC test results. Orchard Trellis in a Small Practice A Flexible Solution Offering Many Deployment Options Trellis is very flexible and can be deployed in a variety of ways. The most basic installation is in a small practice where a single Trellis is utilized as a simple bridge between the EMR and a few low-volume instruments. Trellis can also be deployed to connect the EMR with multiple POCT locations. For facilities where a centralized lab exists among a network of POCT locations, there are several deployment options. Multiple Physician Access Multiple Physician Access EMR EMR RESULTS Multiple Physician Access EMR Reference Lab ORDERS Reference Lab RESULTS RESULTS ORDERS ORDERS ORDERS ORDERS RESULTS RESULTS Existing Laboratory Information System (LIS) includes Trellis Manager module CENTRAL LAB CENTRAL LAB Web Services Web Services POCT LOCATION POCT LOCATION POCT LOCATION Multiple POC Testing Locations POCT LOCATION Web Services POCT LOCATION POCT LOCATION Centralized Lab with Legacy LIS POCT LOCATION POCT LOCATION POCT LOCATION Centralized Lab with Harvest LIS Easy to Use Orchard Trellis is designed for easy use by non-laboratory medical personnel. Training is straightforward because it is a simple software package for viewing orders, viewing results, and releasing results back to your EMR. The Trellis user interface is designed to be completely contained in a single window, eliminating the confusion of multiple overlapping windows. The Trellis application window is divided into three views—the Home view, the Pending Review view, and the Released Orders view. Orders & Results, Review & Release You may place orders into your EMR, your Harvest LIS, or directly into Trellis. All pending orders appear in the Pending Review view of the software and can be selected in order to generate bar code labels as needed. As results come from the analyzer, the microscope icon appears, notifying you that results are available and ready for review. Reviewing results is as easy as selecting a patient and clicking on the results icon or by double-clicking a patient. Once you have reviewed the results, simply click Release to transmit them into the EMR or Harvest LIS. Simple Rules Can Enhance Performance Trellis functionality includes the ability to configure order entry rules, such as test routing or alerts for duplicate tests, as well as result evaluation rules to hold results that do not meet your prespecified criteria. Released Orders Orchard Trellis provides a Released Orders view, enabling you to review a previously released order with results. Similar to the Pending Review view, you review a patient’s results by selecting the patient and either double-clicking on the patient’s name or clicking the Results button. Document & Manage POCT Quality Control QC for POCT has historically been paper-based and sporadically documented; instead, Orchard Trellis allows you to ensure compliance to all POCT QC requirements. QC can be ordered in Trellis by the user or set up to auto-order at the desired frequency. In addition, you can establish rules that will not allow results to be released without acceptable QC results. Orchard Trellis, when used in conjunction with Orchard Harvest LIS, complements Harvest LIS functionality to make patient results from POC analyzers easily accessible for analytics or inspection purposes and simplifies POC QC management. The QC features of Harvest LIS and the integration with Orchard Trellis enables you to easily manage QC at your POC testing sites. Simple Installation & Minimal Training We provide you with the ability to easily load the Trellis software on your POC PC workstation(s). There are minimal hardware requirements. Installation involves connecting Orchard Trellis to the POC device via a supplied serial port connector. Orchard Trellis is designed for easy use, with an intuitive user interface, limited screens, and straightforward, easy-to-grasp training. Cost Savings & Benefits With Orchard Trellis, efficiency and cost savings are derived from the reduction of time spent manually entering patient results. Because results are transmitted electronically into the EMR in real time, faster turnaround time is accomplished as testing is completed. In addition, eliminating the chance of clerical errors ensures greater accuracy. Providers will also have prompt access to the POC testing results for speedier diagnosis and treatment of the patient. All of this means organizations will see increased staff productivity and have more confidence in billing capture and test results because they are handled electronically. Patient care will be improved with faster TATs, benefiting not only the patient, but your entire organization. By integrating POCT results into your EMR and achieving control of POCT QC, Orchard Trellis enhances the effectiveness of your laboratory to give you an added advantage, enriching the superior service you deliver to your providers and patients. So, if you are looking for a cost-effective way to electronically bridge the gap between your remote POC testing and your EMR, call us today for a demonstration to see how Orchard Trellis could be an appropriate solution for your facility.
