Orbio Solutions sought to automate the transmission of hematology test results from their Siemens Advia instruments into their existing LMS. Manual data entry was time-consuming, prone to errors, and hindered laboratory productivity.
Triophore Technologies designed and developed a custom TCP server using Node.js and MongoDB. The server acts as a robust intermediary between the Siemens Advia machines and Orbio's LMS, facilitating the following key functionalities:
Real-time Data Acquisition: The TCP server establishes a persistent connection with the Siemens Advia analyzers, continuously listening for incoming hematology test results.
Data Parsing and Validation: The server efficiently parses the received data stream, extracting relevant test information and performing data validation checks to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Seamless LMS Integration: The validated data is then seamlessly transmitted to Orbio's LMS using a secure and reliable communication protocol, ensuring the integrity of the information.
Error Handling and Logging: The server incorporates robust error handling mechanisms to gracefully manage any connectivity issues or data transmission errors. Comprehensive logging facilitates troubleshooting and performance monitoring.
Requirement Gathering: In-depth discussions were held to understand Orbio's specific needs, data formats, and LMS integration requirements.
System Design and Development: The custom TCP server was meticulously designed and developed using Node.js and MongoDB, adhering to best practices for security, scalability, and performance.
Testing and Deployment: Rigorous testing was conducted to validate the server's functionality, data accuracy, and integration with Orbio's LMS. The solution was then deployed in a production environment, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
Ongoing Support: Triophore Technologies provides ongoing support to Orbio Solutions, addressing any technical issues or assisting with future enhancements as needed.
The custom TCP server solution has yielded significant benefits for Orbio Solutions:
Enhanced Efficiency: Manual data entry is eliminated, saving valuable time and resources for laboratory personnel.
Improved Accuracy: Automated data transfer minimizes the risk of errors associated with manual data entry.
Streamlined Workflow: Seamless integration between the Siemens Advia analyzers and Orbio's LMS enables a more streamlined workflow, leading to faster turnaround times for test results.
Increased Productivity: Reduced data entry burden and improved workflow allow laboratory staff to focus on higher-value activities.
Data Integrity: Robust data validation and error handling mechanisms ensure the integrity and reliability of laboratory data.
Conclusion:
Triophore Technologies' custom TCP server solution effectively addressed Orbio Solutions' challenge of manual data entry from Siemens Advia Hematology machines. The solution has resulted in significant improvements in efficiency, accuracy, workflow, and overall laboratory operations.
