Orchard Showcases Trellis at an Information-packed AACC

The 70th AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo—a global conference and exhibit for laboratory professionals—was held July 29–August 2 in Chicago. There were more than 200 sessions that covered a range of topics, from using molecular diagnostics for targeted cancer therapies to identifying genetic defects for liver disease to the use of CRISPR to detect nucleic acid sequences.

Orchard Software joined more than 800 exhibitors displaying the newest innovative technologies in every clinical lab discipline. New products for mobile health, molecular diagnostics, mass spectrometry, point-of-care testing (POCT), automation, and more were available for attendees to peruse.

Population Health Management

One hot topic at AACC was the laboratory’s role in population health management (PHM), and more specifically, how laboratories can leverage patient results to help develop targeted PHM tools that lead to improved patient outcomes and reductions in overall healthcare costs. The laboratory is the “gatekeeper” for a large portion of the data necessary for PHM, so there are specific opportunities for labs to support shifting reimbursement models and PHM initiatives, poising themselves for success in value-based care. Read Orchard’s white paper to learn more about how the laboratory can support PHM to promote the full value of the laboratory and its data.

Orchard Showcases Our POCT Management Software—Trellis
Many attendees came by the Orchard booth for a demonstration of Orchard® Trellis™, our POCT management and integration solution. Orchard has been working hard to enhance its POCT software products to serve the large, integrated healthcare networks where a variety of near-patient and remote testing is performed. We are proud to offer Trellis as a much-needed tool to support those who are tasked with the challenges of POCT oversight.
