"We have just gone live with LabDE and working with the Extract team to implement the solution has been easy. They have been very reactive to our needs and I feel we have a solution that provides the productivity boost we were looking for. Extract has been a good fit for Aurora Advanced Healthcare."
LabDE Automated Data Capture
for Laboratory Reports
LabDE reduces the cost of time consuming, manual data entry by harnessing advanced data capture technology to chart lab results directly into the LIS or EMR. This automation allows staff to spend less time entering data and more time focusing on higher level analysis, resulting in greater accuracy and enhanced patient care.
LabDE Benefits
- No more data entry backlogs
- Improved doctor efficiency with discrete data at their fingertips
- Strong ROI with payback calculation ranging from eight to twelve month
- Bottom line: better patient care
How does LabDE work?
LabDE uses advanced Optical Character Recognition and Intelligent Character Recognition technology to detect, extract and automate relevant demographic, numeric and descriptive data from lab results. The information is converted to HL7, XML or other formats for seamless integration with LIS/EMR.
LabDE Features Overview
| Features | Benefits |
| Sophisticated logic and rules automatically capture a vast majority of the data within lab results documents. | Advanced data capture technology decodes even complex lab results that include multiple tests and dates. Data automation frees up staff for higher order responsibilities, improving efficiency and enhancing employee satisfaction. |
| LabDE’s Verification User Interface (VUI) is intuitive and interactive. | User-friendly interface decreases training time and increases the ability to cross-train staff. |
| Ability to skip documents and return to them later. | Especially helpful in multiple-user environments, the document “skip” feature allows a user to set aside a document for which they have a question if a supervisor is not available, and continue working on other documents. |
| Database Lookup gives users the ability to auto-complete fields pre-populated with the customer’s database. |
Database Lookup empowers staff to confidently and quickly enter data by typing in the first few characters of a field, such as doctors’ names/codes, and then selecting from pre-populated values. |
| Failure notification prompt alerts user to review data that does not conform to predefined standards. | Failure prompt prevents inaccurate and invalid data from being saved into the LIS/EMR. |
| Swipe feature captures groups of data items in one operation. | Swipe performs an OCR scan and adds multiple data fields from the source document into the VUI instantly saving time and ensuring accuracy. |
LabDE Verification User Interface
LabDE’s helpful split screen shows the source document and the verification form, making it easy for users to visually track each document as it processes.
