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. Since our first installation in 1993, more than 1,000 laboratories across the country have turned to Orchard Software for their Laboratory Information System—including all types and sizes of multi-site and multi-specialty clinics and physician office laboratories, hospitals, regional reference labs, fertility clinics, veterinary labs, university student health services, public health organizations, and research laboratories.
Our award-winning laboratory information systems utilize process automation, robust interface and integration tools, and rules-based technology to address regulatory and integration issues and simplify laboratory workflow. Orchard lab systems improve reimbursements and simplify the time-consuming task of medical necessity validation by automatically screening ICD-9 codes, testing frequency, and experimental procedures during order entry. Besides Orchard® Harvest™ LIS, Orchard also offers Microbiology and Orchard® Pathology systems to eliminate paper and simplify reporting by electronically integrating these departments with the clinical laboratory. For web-based access, laboratory outreach, and EMR connectivity, Orchard offers Orchard® Harvest™ Webstation or Orchard® Copia® for remote order entry and result delivery via the Internet or directly with your client providers’ EMR.
