Interoperability
Connect and communicate with a diverse range of third party systems
These days, labs and hospitals use a lot of different
applications, from analyzer control software, to hospital
information systems (HIS), to general practitioner systems, to
insurance and accounting systems, electronic patient records (EPR)
and more. GLIMS, the most widely-used laboratory information system
in Europe, has been designed to communicate with many of
these.
GLIMS supports international standards including HL7, HPRIM, LDT,
ASTM and Edifact - to name only a few. It also supports many
connections based on local or national standards and legacy
systems. Hardware-independent, its uniform communication model
makes it simple to incorporate GLIMS into an information network
using third-party applications (data managers for instruments,
hospital information systems, GP systems, insurance systems).
FEATURES
• GLIMS can communicate with several HIS simultaneously:
ideal for laboratories servicing multiple hospitals.
• GLIMS supports direct links with laboratory instruments,
and automation and robotics systems.
BENEFITS
• Hardware-independent, GLIMS can fit into any lab
environment.
• Seamless connection and communication simplify data
sharing, for a smoother, more productive workflow.
• Interfacing with instruments allows instrument monitoring
from any general purpose workstation, the standardisation of
procedures for quality control and direct access to historical
patient data for validation.
DID YOU KNOW?
GLIMS complies with international IHE regulations for the
healthcare sector. At annual IHE Connectathon events, systems are
tested for interoperability with selected IHE profiles. At the
2009, 2010 and 2012 IHE Connectathons, GLIMS successfully passed
all tests.
