Today, 350 clinical laboratories and transfusion centers located in 24 different countries rely on Omnilab’s efficient solutions for managing over 4500 diagnostic equipment units.

Ospedale G.B. Grassi di Ostia (ASL ROMA D) - Italia
Hospital G.B. Grassi in Ostia (Rome - Italy) reorganized his Clinical Laboratory with the aim to improve relationships with its users, through the decreasing of response times and costs.
To reach this goal, the Management has chosen to sinergically cooperate in partnership with private companies, Omnilab is one of them, that could help improving the service to users, both from a quality point of view and about response times, beside granting accuracy and effectiveness in the diagnostic process.
Thanks to a high automation (analysers are connected to a track system) driven by expert systems (AMS is one) and optimized processes, the lab is able to dramatically decrease processing times (2 hours), so to satisfy the routine and the stat needs at the same time, with the same analysers.
The high level automation allows also to use less tubes for the blood draw: with one tube only it is now possible to perform the 80 percent of the serum tests: this has a positive impact on the patient but also on the operator who takes the blood and, last but not least, on the environment, because the waste material is reduced.
This results into a decreasing of response times, and give the chance to complete final reports within twelve hours only; another advantage is the standardisation of methodics and reference values for all the served users.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde - United Kingdom
As part of the contract signed between NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and Abbott Diagnostics in 2005, AMS was installed in all of the seven laboratories of the city.
The installation is particularly meaningful and presents several qualifying aspects: it is a multi-laboratory and multi-LIS installation, where AMS manages all of the analysers. The amount of handled test requests is huge and AMS manages also different automation systems.
This particular organizational model is based on the circulation of the same tubes across the various labs, in order to optimize the resources. Through the advanced functionality for automatic validation (rule driven), sample tracking and workflow control which AMS makes available, it has shown to play a key role in process optimization and achievement of the quality goals aimed by the project.
AMS successfully replaced other middleware solutions, making the used software homogeneous and consolidating the performances of the different LIS systems in use.
Users found the transition relatively painless and states that the AMS software proved to be extremely user friendly and flexible.
It was also particularly important for users to have an integrated QC program, that can be tailored to meet the lab’s own needs.
With the program appropriately configured, QC results from all analysers connected to the AMS are fed into a database and used by the system to apply real-time multi rules, supporting technical validation and integrated in automatic rules. From here, users can extract a variety of data, both statistical and graphical, quickly and easily.
Overall, the AMS and QC package makes user's life much easier. Not only does it save them time in collating data and generating reports, but it also helps to quickly identify the source of any problems for rapid resolution.

Unilabs - Switzerland
Unilabs is a private clinical laboratory network, distributed across the whole Switzerland.
Unilabs decided to use AMS as its middleware platform to interface automation systems and analysers.
Being the multi-laboratory structure continuously growing (by acquisitions and/or opening of new labs in the country), Unilabs took a great benefit from AMS advanced functionalities, making it easier the ongoing process of consolidation of the adopted LIS platforms.
AMS has been preferred to other competitor solutions thanks to its flexibility characteristics and to its set of functionalities, that perfectly fit into the project of revision and uniformation of the LIS acquired solutions.

AMS is presently installed in ten laboratories, where it manages 74 analysers with 3 different LIS applications. The AMS database resides on a unique centralized server, located in Lausanne.

Ospedale di Livorno - Italia
The clinical laboratory of Livorno Hospital is an interesting “case study” when considering that it decided to adopt an homogeneous middleware solution to put next to its LIS solution. Starting from the acquisition of new analysers for serum and plasma sectors, the lab decided to adopt the AMS platform in order to strengthen its information system with advanced functionalities able to handle Quality Control and automatic validation of results. About the serum sector, the lab of Livorno can be surely considered a highly automated one: beside a Front-End preanalytical solution it's also installled an automation track system which connects several analsers. AMS demonstrated to be the right software solution to coordinate the work flow, granting requirements of traceability and quality of validated results, that were the goals of the consolidating process.
The lab choose to place side by side to the adopted LIS an advanced middleware application, and to introduce a two-level solution capable to offer the greatest benefits both in the classic management part and in the automation management.
Another added value is the semplification of the hematology area, where AMS implemented functionalities which are typical for applications of that sector (for instance, scattergram acquisition): this reduces information passages and gives uniformity to operating procedures.

Pathwest  – Western Australia
PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA is committed to providing excellence and innovation in pathology testing, teaching and research, positively contributing to the health ad wellbeing of the community.
PathWest has a proud service record and as Western Australia's leading referral pathology laboratory responds to the needs of virtually every medical practitioner in the State. Supporting this is a network of 25 laboratories and the convenience of over 50 specimen collection centres spread across the State from Esperance through to Kununurra making PathWest's services accessible to everyone.
Pathwest has started with Omnilab a path of integration of AMS as a middleware platform to manage the analytic equipments, with a progressive replacement of other solutions offered by LIS vendors and competitors.
The first experiences in labs Royal Perth Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Medical Centre resulted into a high level of customer satisfaction, and in a variety of functional improvements respect previously adopted solutions: this is actually an interesting reference for the Asia Pacific market and leads Pathwest to re-confirm Omnilab as its technologic partner for the functional evolution of its own IT structure, to support its core business.
