Orchard Harvest™ LIS
Harvest LIS, our laboratory information system, provides you with the tools necessary to operate a productive laboratory despite current staffing shortages, tightening reimbursements, and changing healthcare environments.
Utilizing process automation, robust interfaces (instrument, reference laboratory, billing, and EMR/Practice Management), and rules-based technology, Harvest LIS addresses regulatory issues, improves efficiency, reduces errors, and increases reimbursements. The design of Harvest LIS includes many powerful, flexible features and optional modules that makes it easy to use.
Reimbursement Screening
Improve reimbursements and simplify the time-consuming task of medical necessity validation by automatically screening for ICD-9 codes, testing frequency, and experimental procedures during order entry and generating an ABN, when necessary, during order entry.
Test Routing
At order entry, Harvest LIS eases the burden of contract management by automatically routing test orders to specific facilities based on the patient's insurance and your laboratory's business preferences.
Rules-based Technology
Customizable rules reduce errors and aid in decision making for order entry, splitting orders, auto-approval of patient results, reflexing additional testing, automatic comments, clinical follow-up recommendations, result delivery, and billing/CPT codes.
Result Delivery
Use Harvest LIS' rules engine to customize reporting options, such as auto-approval and auto delivery, and to automatically print, fax, email, web-deliver, or send results to a host system based on individual provider's needs.
Patient Records
Harvest LIS files patient results electronically in the patient's record so they are readily available to view, print, fax, email, web-deliver, or send to a host system, eliminating the frustrating and time-consuming task of manually locating and delivering them.
Patient Reports
Orchard Harvest LIS' various patient report formats are easy to read and present historical results in a graphical format, and you can easily format cumulative reports to satisfy individual physician requests.
Data Mining
Harvest LIS browsers, Patient, Order (Case in AP), Order Choice (Specimen in AP), and Result, are data mining tools that make it very easy to create ad hoc reports and to schedule them to run automatically, without the need for complex programming or the help of the IT department.
Administrative Reports
Streamlined administrative queries are a quick and easy source for information, giving you the data you need to monitor workflow and increase productivity.
System Security
In today's HIPAA-conscious environment, security is an important concern for laboratories, and robust security features assist your system administrator in managing security in a variety of ways.
Quality Control
Configurable Westgard rules and extensive support for qualitative and quantitative QC make QC management quick and easy, and QC approval rules prevent patient results from being reported before QC results have been approved.
Installation Process
For every installation, an Orchard Systems Engineer will come on-site to ensure that your system is running smoothly and that the system administrator knows its inner-workings inside and out.
Integration Capabilities
Harvest LIS is the clear choice for "best-of-breed" integrated systems. Using HL7 standards, host system (practice management, HIS, and EMR), billing, blood bank, and reference lab interfaces are routine and the seamless integration of multiple sites is possible.
User Training
To get the most from the robust features in Harvest LIS, we offer four different ASCLS P.A.C.E® accredited training classes throughout the year at our headquarters in Carmel, Indiana.
Tech Support - 24/7/365
Each of three annual support options includes software upgrades and 24/7/365 one-on-one technical support. In addition, our online user groups, newsletters, and website provide answers, ideas, and tips to ensure that you're never on your own.
Web-based Outreach
A variety of outreach and networking options are available to improve the marketability of your lab by providing your customers with a single, simple, and cost-effective solution for remote order entry and results delivery.
Microbiology Module
Orchard's Microbiology module eliminates paper and gives your microbiology department the benefits of rules-based power to manage workflow and provide technical direction. In addition, CLSI/NCCLS-approved antibiograms (automatically eliminating duplicate results) make tracking susceptibility patterns simple.
Anatomic Pathology (AP) System
Available as a module for Orchard® Harvest™ LIS or used as a stand-alone AP system, Orchard® Pathology is a complete information system that eliminates the manual system of audit trails and paper files and utilizes a single database to fully integrate all laboratory departments.
Blood Bank & Billing
As a "best-of-breed" integrated system, Orchard has worked with a variety of blood bank and billing system vendors to develop and install fully-integrated packages to fulfill the requirements of hospitals and reference laboratories.
