Our Services
Our team of clinical, instrument and technical experts partner with your team and vendors to realize the full potential of your instrumentation investment.
Interfacing
By optimizing or building interfaces, labs can eliminate manual entry, enhance workflows, and minimize typographical errors while upholding the highest patient safety standards. Our expertise extends to interfacing a single instrument as well as enterprise-wide deployments, ensuring seamless connectivity and standardized processes, reducing the timeline from installation to go-live.
Testing and User Acceptance
Ensure your lab meets the highest standards with JTG's instrument interface testing services. We develop and execute test plans, create testing scenarios, capture testing evidence, and assist with build and troubleshooting. Our thorough approach ensures a comprehensive, ready-to-approve user acceptance testing package, enhancing your lab's reliability and compliance.
Total Lab Automation (TLA)
TLA minimizes errors, and standardizes workflows, leading to decreased touchpoints, higher provider and patient satisfaction, and improved laboratory performance. JTG can develop or optimize your interfaces for your TLA solution to increase functionality and realize the full potential of your instrumentation investment.
Upgrades
Application and instrumentation upgrades often present opportunities to enrich the data being exchanged. JTG has processes in place to thoroughly validate your end-to-end solution ensuring your data flow remains interoperable. We help your team take full advantage of new functionality, while maintaining the integrity of your lab operations.
Optimization
JTG can assess the gaps in interfaces between systems and instrumentation to improve interoperability, eliminate workarounds, and manual processes in your lab. From initial assessment to full implementation, JTG provides end-to-end support, ensuring an optimal path to realize the full potential of your organization’s investment.
Middleware
JTG helps labs implement and configure middleware solutions to allow for centrally managed instruments and EHR/LIS connectivity. Our services ensure seamless data flow and operational efficiency. JTG can assist you with the creation of specific rules that improve workflows, enable autoverification, monitor QC, and track analyte trends over time. Integration enhances productivity and reduces the risk of errors, allowing your staff to focus on critical tasks.
Point of Care (POC)
Integrating POC instruments with your EHR/LIS/Middleware eliminates manual data entry, allowing your caregivers to focus on patient care. Integrating POC devices enhances positive patient ID, automates the reporting process, and ensures timely and reliable results for better patient outcomes.
Analytics
JTG builds and automates custom dashboards and reports, allowing you to enhance your analytic capabilities, even from multiple sources. Whether it is strategic or tactical data, our reporting and analytics experts provide tailored solutions to give you real-time data insights.
Quality Control (QC)
JTG ensures that your quality control solution(s) are interfaced, and QC data is recorded and stored appropriately, maintaining the reliability of your lab results. Our team can help implement automated processes to enable your team to be in compliance with your accreditation agencies.
Interface Specification Development
Developing tight interoperability for your instrument to middleware, LIS, and EHRs, is paramount to the adoption of your device. JTG builds interface specifications for instruments, whether it be in ASTM™, HL7™, POCT1A™, JSON™, XML™, or a flat file, we have you covered. Leverage our extensive experience with multiple instruments and systems to speed up your go-to-market readiness.
Driver Creation
Our custom and innovative driver creation services bridge the gap between your instruments and middleware, LIS, and EHR. JTG analyzes data from instruments and matches it to the corresponding elements in the LIS/EHR, ensuring seamless data integration and functionality.
Project Management
Reach your project’s full potential with JTG’s project managers keeping lab initiatives on track from inception to go-live. Our project managers strategically allocate resources at the optimal times, ensuring timelines are met and costs are efficiently managed throughout the implementation process. With our expertise, milestones will be achieved, delays and added expenses avoided, and your team will stay focused on their goals.
