Relaymed
Overview
Relaymed is a cloud-based middleware solution designed to automate the transfer of point-of-care (POC) test results directly into Electronic Health Records (EHRs). This tool is primarily for ambulatory care settings, including physician practices and urgent care centers, that perform in-house lab testing.
- What it does: Relaymed connects various POC testing devices to an EHR system, automatically matching test results to existing patient orders in real-time. This eliminates the need for manual data entry of lab results.
- Who it is for: It serves a range of specialties that utilize in-house POC testing, such as those performing urinalysis, infectious disease testing (e.g., COVID, flu, strep), diabetes, hematology, and STI testing.
- How it fits a clinical or practice workflow: In a clinical workflow, staff run a test on a connected POC device, and Relaymed automatically sends the results to the patient’s chart in the EHR. This process aims to reduce manual transcription errors and streamline data availability for clinicians.
- Notable capabilities: Key features include automated result transfer, quality control (QC) management from connected devices, state reporting for notifiable diseases, and manual test entry for lateral flow tests. It also offers user permissions, reference range management, single sign-on (SSO), and security measures for patient data. Relaymed is compatible with numerous POC devices and integrates with many leading EHR systems, including Epic, athenahealth, and eClinicalWorks.
