REDUCE the waiting times
• ALFA21® POSSESSES AN OPEN ARCHITECTURE THAT ADAPTS PERMANENTLY TO TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
• The Management System ALFA21® for Clinical Analysis Laboratories is a comprehensive software solution that allows you to fully manage the laboratory and is totally compatible with its environment.
• It has been developed using Microsoft Visual Studio. Its modular structure allows you to evolve according to your needs and budget. It can be installed on a single computer running Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 to a complex network running Windows 2003 / 2008 / 2012 Server. The application has been programmed to work with the relational databases MS Access and SQL Server. Additionally, the system is optimized to work in Terminal Server, Citrix, etc. environments allowing you to make connections between laboratories, independent of their physical location.
EASY to use and configure
• ALFA21® has been designed with the aim of being easy to use and to logically follow the analysis process, from the receipt of the request to the issuing of the report.
Strenght, flexibility and SECURITY
• The security of the information is guaranteed given that, apart from the standard identification of users, the program gives you the option of logging in through the LDAP server. Customise and limit the actions of each user registered in the application and select the modules of the program that they have access to. A complete auditor registers the activity and the traceability of the data during the use of the program. The program also provides you with tools to perform periodic and unattended backups.
• ALFA21® is a multilingual and multilaboratory system: it allows various collaborative laboratories or different centres of extraction to work under the same licence of the program, sharing common resources and reducing costs. Differentiate the information that can be accessed by each one, configure the medical report as well as the devices available in the laboratories.
• ALFA21® offers you a complete daily process that allows you to register requests, generate work lists, communicate with automatic analysers and other devices, fill in and validate the results, print medical reports and supervise pending tasks. It also has specific modules for appointments, stat requests, reference laboratories, management of documents and images, sample management and serum bank.
• Generate bar codes in order to identify your samples. Our system provides you with different models of codification that allow you to adapt to any situation.
Flexible, compact and CUSTOMIZABLE
• The application allows you to connect with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) to obtain the demographic details of the patients from their medical record.
• The communications with analysers are integrated in the program and are managed from a control panel. ALFA21® is set-up for the simultaneous communication with multiple analysers. Furthermore connect with whatever external device that allows you to(optical mark reader, dataphone, etc.) in order to automate the entry of data.
A PILLAR fundamentalfor the growth of your laboratory
• Enter results manually by patient, by test or by work list and easily control the previous results of the patients, which includes the 4 previous results while you enter the current ones. It also allows you to perform a Delta Check comparing the variation between the previous results and the last result.
• Validate or revise the results of complete requests, of individual tests or automatically. Apply, if you wish, the double validation of the results, performing a primary test revision and later a final validation. Customise and define selection formula to facilitate the work of the professionals. Using action formulas you can also add, delete or modify results according to the conditions that you decide.
• The application allows you to fully customise the medical report, modifying any aspect of the appearance and layout. You can incorporate different headers, formats, logos, digital signatures, fonts, colours, images, trend charts, functional test representations (e.g. the glucose curve), comments, etc.
• Automatically distribute your medical reports, invoices and orders by assigning report destinations (fax, printer or email). You can also apply digital signatures to your PDF documents to guarantee their integrity and authenticity.
