Beethoven II™ Labortory Informatin System

Beethoven II™ is the industry’s most powerful single workstation laboratory information system (LIS). Offering an impressive range of features that are typically found only on complex network LIS packages, Beethoven II™ brings versatility and efficiency to small laboratory operations. The system has been recognized for its incomparable ease-of-use and reliability. With Beethoven II™, you can effectively automate a small lab without incurring unnecessary costs.

The single computer workstation fits nicely in tight spaces in a smaller laboratory and frees up bench/counter space for the analytical tasks performed in the laboratory. The power of Beethoven II allows it to interface with up to six different diagnostic analyzers at one time, but perhaps more importantly, it can interface bi-directional with most any EMR that a practice may have. Additionally, Practice Management/billing Systems that are capable of interfacing, can automatically receive reports of tests that were completed along with identifying billing codes and correlating CPT codes.

Beethoven II can receive orders for laboratory tests directly from an interfaced EMR that has ordering capabilities, or they can be entered manually by a lab technician. Once entered, they will appear on a Work List screen and can be edited as needed. The Work List screen can be customized to display only those tests pertinent to a specific work station/bench. This feature helps technologist focus on just the tests that fall into their immediate area of responsibility, i.e. hematology tests are separate from chemistry test. Out of range and critical and panic value results are immediately highlighted by Beethoven II for urgent action by the technologists. Analytical results can be entered manually or uploaded directly from an interfaced analyzer. Beethoven II has available hundreds of analyzer interfaces that are both uni-directional and bi-direction for host query of bar coded patient samples.

Completed reports can be approved by multiple supervisor and management levels prior to processing and storage in Lab Records. A data base of patient results can by searched by multiple criteria in Lab Records with trending and graphing options available for expert presentation to the clinical staff. A full Quality Control module includes current QC, Levy Jennings curves, and more.

For more demanding requirements, Beethoven II has available several specialized add-on models and products such as the Auto-faxing module for faxing final reports along with the Automated Report Manager for generating management reports on a regular frequency such as "end of month". To support a robust microbiology department, Beethoven II has an add-on Microbiology module for the electronic management and reporting of cultures including; stains, smears, antimicrobial sensitivities, preliminary and final results.
