Instrument Interfacing
Mukon has extensive experience in developing electronic interfaces to facilitate communication between a computer system (e.g. LIMS or LIS) and instruments (e.g. pathology analysers). Over the past 13 years we have developed interfaces between LIS systems and analysers supplied by a multitude of suppliers, including Siemens, Beckman, Abbott and Roche.

Electronic interfacing of results has multiple advantages, including accuracy (no human typing errors) and productivity. Bi-directional interfacing (where the computer system also sends messages to the analyser) also populates demographic patient info on the analyser and give instructions to the analyser on the tests to perform when the sample barcode is detected in a tray on the instrument. The bigger the test volumes, the higher the benefits are in terms of time saved.

Our interfacing experience includes:
  • Serial (RS 232) as well as network (TCP/IP) protocols
  • Uni- and bi-directional interfacing
  • Layered technology where the lowest level includes electronic handshaking and higher levels the composition and de-composition of messages
  • Rule-based methodology assisting configuration
  • Generic (as far as possible) implementation of standards such as ASTM and HL7
Please feel free to contact us to discuss your interfacing requirements.

Mobile
Our apps, websites and web services give authorised users secure access to applications on their notebooks, tablets and smart-phones - anywhere and any-time an internet connection is available.

Reports can also be delivered via electronic interfaces and cached where after they will be available off-line.

We also offer custom native app development for both Android & iOS (iPad, iPhone & iPod). Feel free to contact us and discuss your development requirements.

EDI
Electronic Data Interchange facilitates electronic transfer and exchange of information. We have developed and implemented several interfaces to the systems of insurance companies, medical aids, managed healthcare providers and clinical decision makers.

Advantages of automating the data exchange include accuracy, speed and productivity gains.

Our developers have experience utilising different technologies, e.g. XML, web services, WCF, FTP and custom data formats to securely push or pull data.

Please contact us to discuss your specific EDI requirements!

Reporting
We are experienced in combining data from different systems and sources to create custom reports. Graphical representation and trend analysis can greatly assist in decision making based on data summarised and presented.

Technologies include MS SQL Server Reporting Services (currently primary), MS Excel, MS Access and Crystal Reporting.

If necessary, we can assist with the configuration or development of a user interface (UI) to enable a user to easily manage and extract your reports.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements!

Networking
We can analyse and recommend the optimal networking solution for your environment.

Our specialised network solutions include :
  • Internet Connectivity Redundancy (e.g., ADSL + 3G Fail-over)
  • VPN, Network routing & Wireless hotspots
  • Mikrotik Cerified staff

Pathway
PathWay was our first generation LIMS, our first taste of a scalable solution to meet the demands of a growing, innovative pathology laboratory. Pathway was developed and implemented from 2000 with the following integrated modules:
  • PathLab - user interface for handling requisitions and processing reports, generate financial info
  • PathComm - interface to instruments & analysers
  • PathEDI - interface for electronic reporting
  • PathSMS - result and client communication via SMS
  • PathResQ - result query tool for result analysis
  • PathBack - database maintenance & administrations
  • PathQC - quality control
  • PathHelp - online help system
All our PathWay installations have since been replaced with Skylims - including the learning curve and valuable lessons learned through PathWay!  PathWay also paved the way for our customers to acquire significant market share in a highly competitive environment.
