The term "Online Lab Reporting" refers to a method by which clinical laboratories send test results to their physicians. This method utilizes the Internet to communicate results, instead of postal mail, facsimile or voice phone call. Of the later three methods mentioned, online reporting is the most efficient and cost effective.

Laboratories wishing to utilize online lab reporting technology must first register with us to receive a unique Laboratory ID. This ID allows each laboratory to login to our system and create reports, complete with assays, patient values and reference ranges. Once each report is complete, an option to notify the referring physician that the results are ready is displayed. This option emails the physician a unique link on which they can click and see the same report that the laboratory created. Username/password combinations, encryption and SSL technology are all utilized to ensure privacy and the highest level of security.

Benefits

1. Increased Speed
   
   No other method of lab reporting reaches physicians faster than email. Even a voice phone call requires dialing and dialog, while an email is sent instantly and the report link is immediately available to be viewed.
   
   
2. Lower Cost
   
   Our pricing model allows reports to be created and sent for as little as $0.29 USD cents each, regardless of report length or physical distance over which the report must travel. This pricing model is all-inclusive -- the cost of additional users, annual maintenance and upgrades are included. This allows financial managers to predict their cost and prepare the annual budget without any suprises.
   
   
3. Graphs
   
   LabReporting.Com is the first online system to include easy to read colored graphs for every assay reported. Physicians find it tedious to read a report full of numbers and ranges. Give them the results they need at a glance! Patient values and reference ranges are printed immediately following the graph, so no valuable data is lost. Click here to view a sample report.
   
   
4. Eliminates Waste Materials
   
   Physical materials, such as paper and ink, are not needed when reports are sent over the Internet. This reduces the amount of paper and ink wasted on reports that are destroyed or discarded. This also eliminates storage cost. LabReporting.Com keeps your reports in our databases for a minimum of five years.
   
   
5. Increased Sales & Marketing Appeal
   
   Physicians have been asking for online reporting technology for some time now. Laboratories who offer this value-added service to their physicians have increased appeal and gain more clientele.
   
   
6. ASP Model
   
   The acronym "ASP" stands for "Application Service Provider." This is an Internet term referring to a company who offers software which can be used over the Internet. Unlike traditional software, which must be packaged, sold and installed on a customer's computer, ASP software is ready to use immediately (via a web browser) and requires no packaging or installation. Further, software in use over the Internet is always up-to-date because it does not require customer intervention to upgrade. Upgrades are done by the company providing the software, at little or no cost to the user.
   
   LabReporting.Com is the premier ASP for laboratories wishing to report test results over the Internet.
