Many of today’s larger group practices, clinics, and independent laboratories, as well as many hospitals, need to support multiple sites. Some of these “remote sites” run testing that require immediate results for the physicians’ review while consolidating the noncritical testing in a central location. Other deployments utilize multi-sites to both balance the testing load and to maximize efficiency by locating facilities closer to their customers. These sites often run a full menu of testing. FFlex eClinic™ provides solutions for both of these applications and much more.

Security
FFlex eClinic™ provides a complete secure “virtual” LIS extension to your FFlex eSuite™ anywhere you want to locate your remote or satellite laboratories. Encrypted data exchange and SSL certificates, coupled with extensive login checking and passwords, ensure a secure connection regardless of location.

Clinical Instruments
With FFlex eClinic™ you can support multiple instruments in multiple sites anywhere you need. Downloadable bi-directional instruments, Query-based instruments and even Microbiology instruments are supported! All instrument result data is buffered to avoid any loss of data in the event that network or Internet connectivity goes down.

Overall Functionality
Full reporting capabilities are available to the FFlex eClinic™ users just as they are within the main laboratory and include management reporting, patient reporting and custom reporting. In fact, any FFlex eSuite™ functionality including patient registration, order entry, label printing, sample handling and routing, business rules, QC, and workflow can be made available at remote locations using FFlex eClinic™.

The Virtual LIS
As the core software and functionality of FFlex eSuite™ is available with any FFlex eClinic™ deployment, your lab achieves the full LIS functionality available in FFlex eSuite™ for as many “remote Labs” you need at a fraction of the cost of individual LIS systems. In addition, the routine administrative functions like system back-ups are centralized in one location. Essentially FFlex eClinic™ provides you with as many “virtual LIS systems” as you require over a Wide Area Network or Internet using the common data in your FFlex eSuite™ Server.
