Information is the laboratory's chief commodity. The laboratory business is an Information Business. However paper work, fragmented records, and error-prone manually key in delivery processes are all too likely to stand in the way of quality care. These problems can rob patients of the careful attention they need. Our objective is to provide better patient care through operating efficiently and automate as much as possible the clinical laboratory processes to produce quality result. Quality in this sense comprises several elements such as,

  • the security factor, right patient--sample--result match,
  • the accuracy of the result, which relates more to analytical process capabilities,
  • the range and detail of the acceptance criteria used to report results,
  • the speed of availability to the requester/patient to facilitate decisions and treatment,
  • the production cost of generating the result with optimal use of resources and personnel.

Our solution focus on giving the patients better care by

  • automating direct data acquisition from clinical analysers,
  • implement workflow according to the testing protocols,
  • manage and report the integrity of the total testing process, including pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical components to reduce errors, and
  • build-in rule and knowledge base solution to focus the quality time on those in need.

EGIS has successfully implemented TDLIMs in public and private hospitals and laboratories in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam.

 

EGIS is the exclusive distributor of eProgesa for Singapore and Malaysia. eProgesa is designed and developed by MAK-SYSTEM, a French company based in Paris, France.

In addition, PROGESA - Donor & Patient Blood Bank and Blood Transfusion Service integrated software have received the FDA 510(k) clearance.

MAK-SYSTEM has already successfully computerized Blood Banks and Transfusion services Worldwide (in 26 countries) including Europe, Australia, South Africa, Israel and such organizations in North America such as Blood System Inc., New York Blood Center, Florida Blood Services, Canadian Blood Services and HemaQuebec. The implementation and support has been successfully manage from a network of MAK-SYSTEM offices and distributors from all over the world. This network is able to work with the different time zones and able to handle projects in many different languages.

The functionalities are continuously updated to meet the needs of eProgesa international users (more than 650 installations worldwide of which 16 are National implementations) with collection volumes ranging from 2,500 to 1,200,000 donations per year on a single configuration.

ePROGESA is a modular software solution with both donor and patient related functionality within the same package. This permits full traceability of blood components to be available within a single system. ePROGESA is a structured software solution that can be configured to the blood bank facility.

It enables the diverse operational requirements of the many blood centers and hospital blood banks to be met through the use of parameter switches to activate or deactivate specific areas of the software.

It is an open application software, which utilizes parameters on four levels:

  • Security Parameters - used to control access to the system
  • Functional parameters - used to activate specific functionality
  • Dictionaries - used to define the different data elements such as test codes, results, manufacturing rules
  • Decision Tables - used to define the relevant rules for the various disciplines such as results correlation tables, distribution correlations, electronic cross match rules. This permits full repeat test management control to be maintained by ePROGESA.

Through the use of these parameters the customer is able to control and update the major functional areas of the software with no requirement to update the program source code. Any modification made to the parameters can be traced and the content of the various parameters versions used in the software can be retrieved at any time.

 

EGIS is the distributor for Axiome brand of optical mark readers and bar code reader for the Asia Pacific Region. Axiome is a Swiss company which specialises in automatic data entry and processing.
