Orchard Laboratory Systems – Veterinary Support
![]() ![]() |
Orchard Software is famous for our award-winning laboratory information systems. While the majority of our customers are focused on the human patient, independent veterinary laboratories and university veterinary schools also utilize our laboratory information systems.
To meet the requirements of veterinary laboratories, our software contains features for species, breeds within the species, species/breed-specific reference intervals, and taxonomy fields for the sex of an animal. In addition, you can easily capture and access owner information within the system. The overall flexibility of our software is why Orchard is used by laboratories of all types and sizes. And no matter their size, today’s laboratories need a system that is well-supported and a software vendor who is very responsive, and Orchard is recognized for being just that. The animal information window shows a variety of useful information regarding the animal statistics. From this window, species, breed, gender, and age of the animal are all displayed along with a brief order history and easy access to the patient results explorer, patient alerts, and linked documents or images.
A Proven Track Record and Steady Growth
Today, 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, independent reference labs, student health services, public health organizations, independent veterinary labs, and university veterinary schools.
Unmatched Products, Features, & Flexibility for Any Workflow
Orchard’s systems use process automation, rules-based decision-making, and seamless systems integration to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and simplify laboratory workflow. Configurable rules will reduce errors and aid decision making for auto-approval of results, reflexing additional testing, automatic comments, and clinical follow-up recommendations. With the system’s powerful data-mining browsers, Orchard puts the power of creating ad-hoc reports in the lab, not the IT department. You may perform searches and build reports by sex, species, breed, specimen, diagnosis, test result, or case number, to mention a few.
One System with CP and AP for Integrated Diagnostics
Featuring a single shared database for clinical laboratory, microbiology, cytology, and anatomic pathology, Orchard’s lab system eliminates paper and electronically integrates all your laboratory departments—no need for separate systems. The shared database for all departments provides access to the animal’s entire lab history and enables the addition and consolidation of clinical results to the cytology or pathology report. Image management tools make it easy to link digital images, annotated diagrams, and scanned documents to case worksheets and incorporate them onto patient reports. When completing a pathology report within the Orchard system, any other pathology orders are shown in the box to the right of the current report. Robust data mining tools provide vibrant reports quickly and easily within the application without the need for 3rd party tools.
