Integration to Enable Rapid Test Results is Imperative in a Pandemic
Orchard understands the dire need for time-sensitive information to flow from public health laboratories to the CDC and to community and reference laboratories. Our state-of-the-art integration and interfacing capabilities that connect laboratories facilitate rapid dissemination of test results and interpretations.
