Beckman Coulter Access/Access 2 – Bidirectional (Millennium)

Device interface for use with Beckman Coulter Access/Access 2 (Bi-dir) and Cerner Millennium.

Vendor: Beckman Coulter
Model: Access/Access 2
Cerner Platform: Millennium
Care Type: General Laboratory
Interface Detail: Bidirectional

Beckman Coulter Access/Access 2 – Bidirectional (Millennium) provides a communication link between a laboratory analyzer (i.e., instrument) and the Cerner System.

This instrument software interface supports automatic transmission of both patient demographics and work orders from Cerner system to analyzer, and allows automatic transfer of results from the analyzer to Cerner Laboratory system.

The bidirectional interface is designed as a time saving device, allowing patient demographics and work order automatically downloaded to the analyzer and allowing results to be automatically recorded/uploaded onto the Cerner system with minimum human intervention.

Client Benefits:

    Automation – automatically transfers patient demographics and work order to the analyzer and automatically records result data onto Laboratory system.
    Accuracy – elimination of data entry which in turn minimizes human error.
    Time saving – improve efficiency in the lab.

Major Features:

    Depending on the analyzer’s capability, transmitted order information could include: accession number, bar code, or other sample identifier; requested collection date and time; drawn date and time; collection priority (routine vs. STAT); ordering doctor name or number; etc.
    Depending on the analyzer’s capability, transmitted patient demographics could include: name; age (years); birthdate; medical record number; financial number; nursing station or location; room and bed; etc.
    Some interfaces can run online for immediate result verification and reporting, depending on the instrument’s capability
    Optionally supports accession number of bar code printing for testing site specimen identification purposes.
    Provides a complete audit trail of communications.
