Through the power of Sonova software, the Flo-Lab provides complete networking capabilities for clinical environmenst from the small lab to the multi-facility hospital system. The Flo-Lab can be connected into various network configurations, and Sonova supports all major data standards for information exchange.
While Sonova makes sharing data easy, it also supports critical patient privacy requirements by incorporating HIPAA-compliant protocols for accessing patient data.
The Flo-Lab supports workstation access for remote data entry, reporting, or printing. Workstation access means that another computer connected to the Flo-Lab (either directly or through a network) can exchange information with the system. Essentially, the Flo-Lab operates as a server, with access to its data available both at the Flo-Lab console or the workstation.
The growth of information technology in clinical environments has greatly increased the requirements for exchanging data throughout the organization. Diagnostic and treatment systems need to share all types of clinical data with administrative departments, primary care doctors, specialists, and diagnostic technicians.
Using Sonova's optional networking capabilities, single or multiple Flo-Labs can be connected to a server for printing, file storage, and retrieval. Any computer on the Sonova network can be used to enter patient demographic data or access previous patient exam reports. This organization-wide coordination of data streamlines staff workflow and improves the continuum of care.
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the most common standard for hospital scans, and the capability for DICOM data exchange is an important feature for any
diagnostic instrument. As an option, Sonova can export data in the DICOM file format for compatibility with existing patient care databases, meaning that vascular diagnostic data can be integrated into your patient electronic medical records.
HL7, or Health Level Seven, is an international standard for exchanging and managing clinical patient care data. It defines protocols for exchanging clinical data among diverse healthcare information systems, allowing organizations to transfer data between disparate sources and create integrated information management systems.
Sonova is available with optional HL7 and XML export capabilities, allowing the Flo-Lab to provide reports that are readable by any other system that supports these industry standards.
Sonova can also export report data in many other formats, including the following:
- PDF
- JPEG
- Dbase
- DIF
- Microsoft Excel
- Rich Text Format (RTF)
- HTML
- BMP
- Paradox (native)
- CVS
- ASCII (tab delimited)
- Text
- Microsoft Word
