SANTA CLARA, California, April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the North American point-of-care testing (POCT) connectivity solutions market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Orchard Software Corporation with the 2019 North America Enabling Technology Leadership Award for its Trellis POCT management software. This solution cost-effectively connects remote testing sites with electronic medical records (EMRs), offering exceptional flexibility and functionality to laboratories across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean.

"Orchard Software leverages 25 years of laboratory experience to provide exceptional instrumentation integration, such as bi-directional interfaces with reference labs, as well as ancillary and host systems such as billing, practice management, EMRs, and hospital information systems. As a result, it can readily absorb and transmit data from a range of decentralized POCT analyzers," said Divyaa Ravishankar, Industry Principal at Frost & Sullivan. "Its vendor-agnostic capability further helps connect multiple devices from varied manufacturers, thus, fostering a connective environment."

The platform addresses long-standing concerns over POCT quality and data integrity through features such as tracking how long POCT operators have to renew their certificate, scanning completed competency assessments, and remote quality control (QC) monitoring. Its rules-based logic and use of Levey-Jennings graphs ensure qualitative and quantitative QC by reliably flagging abnormal and critical data. Orchard Software's continuous commitment to product development and enhancement is a key differentiator, and the company averages one major upgrade annually, which allows it to navigate a competitive and rapidly changing marketplace.

The company's Orchard Device Engine (ODE) is key to Trellis' unique approach to POCT consolidation. By leveraging cloud connectivity between lab instruments, combined with connected laboratory information systems, ODE facilitates exceptional integration, as well as secure and rapid development. As a result, Orchard Software allows users to include POCT data in analytics projects and population health management initiatives. Trellis can also manage high-demand capabilities such as onboard calibration, certification management for all users, and tracking the location and status of analyzers through the use of triggered rules, delta flags, and instrument flags.
