INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONNECTIVITY

Laboratory Alliance provides computerized patient results at the fingertips of those directly responsible for patient care. We provide a strong communications link between all our partners through the use of multiple commercial laboratory connectivity products.

Laboratory Alliance will automatically fax clinical reports to a designated in-office fax location at a specified time determined by our customer. Hard copy originals can be mailed, or hand delivered via the courier at a later time.

 

Laboratory Alliance can provide a dedicated remote printer at the customer location. The printer provides an efficient means of delivering secure reports anywhere that they are needed.

Physicians using MedentÔ applications (by Community Computer Service, Inc. of Auburn, NY) to help manage their practices have the capability as a client of Laboratory Alliance of Central New York to electronically order laboratory tests on the MedentÔ software.
