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.

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.

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.
