Company Overview:
Orchard Software Corporation is based north of Indianapolis in Carmel, Indiana, and is a rapidly growing, premier developer of Laboratory Information Systems and other healthcare software solutions.

Our award-winning Orchard® Harvest™ LIS utilizes process automation; robust instrument, billing, EMR, and reference lab interfaces; and rules-based technology to address regulatory and integration issues and simplify laboratory workflow. Orchard’s Microbiology and Anatomic Pathology modules eliminate paper and electronically integrate these departments with the rest of the laboratory. The Orchard® Harvest™ Webstation module enables remote order entry and result delivery via the Internet. We also offer Orchard® Copia®, a web-based product designed to unite lab networks together under one lab order management and results delivery system.
