Microbiology

Workflow-based processes for infectious diseases

Our laboratory information system uses workflows to support all laboratory processes associated with infectious diseases and enables the integration of all state-of-the-art analytical equipment.

Our microbiology module is a highly efficient solution for the fast and precise analysis and documentation of examinations in the bacteriological laboratory, all the way through to diagnosis and billing.

The SWISSLAB hygiene module enables the professional management of your hygiene portfolio, from master data to the laboratory workflow, all the way through to the presentation of results – everything from a single source.

Our portfolio for your microbiology

Microbiology

Your software for microbiological examinations in clinics and registered specialist laboratories

Our microbiology module is a highly efficient solution for the fast and precise analysis and documentation of examinations in the bacteriological laboratory, all the way through to diagnosis and billing.

A clearly arranged tree structure, the presentation of previous diagnoses, plausibility checks and the definition of laboratory-specific rules and text modules support you in your day-to-day work. Reportable pathogens pursuant to sections 7, 8, 9 IfSG are automatically listed by the system.

Hygiene

Professional management of your hygiene portfolio

The SWISSLAB hygiene module enables the professional management of your hygiene portfolio, from master data to the laboratory workflow, all the way through to the presentation of results – everything from a single source.

Thanks to active specimen management as well as the structuring of examination subjects, laboratory orders are traceable, clearly arranged and transparent. The possibility of involving internal senders in order entry frees up capacity in the laboratory. The SWISSLAB bacteriology module enables established pathogen differentiation and resistance determination to be drawn on without having to simultaneously maintain master data.

    • Automatic diagnosis of negative blood cultures
    • Individual adaptation of predefined master data for pathogens and pathogen text
    • Antibiogram assignment with result input S (sensitive), I (intermediary) and R (resistant) as well as assignment of MIC values
    • Rules for identifying and listing multi-resistant, infection-relevant and reportable pathogens

  4. Medical validation and diagnosis

    • Multi-stage medical validation with specialism-specific preview of diagnoses
    • Color highlighting of orders with abnormal results
    • Scheduled or manual generation of individual or collective diagnoses
    • Fast diagnosis of negative screening orders
