Labs around the nation are reaping the benefits of OL_Monitor
click here >>OL_Monitor is a program that interacts with the Sunquest™ Laboratory information system. OL_Monitor integrates seamlessly with Esker™ Smarterm, the client of choice for most laboratories. Like a tireless unblinking eye, it keeps up with the Outstanding log. In addition it adds critical information the Outstanding log lacks, how long tests have been outstanding. This is just the beginning, read on to find out more..
click here >>Only two concerns arise in regards to H.I.P.A.A. regulations, the possible disclosure of patient data when OL logs are submitted for support, and disclosure of patient data through normal use of OL_Monitor.
Any patient information submitted to me for troubleshooting or support of the OL_Monitor will be used solely for that purpose, and will not be disclosed or shared with anyone. All documents containing patient data are secured in files accessible only to me in an electronically and physically secure environment. In addition, said files are shredded immediately after the problem has been resolved.
Individual installations of OL_Monitor are the property of the license holder. OL_Monitor is an extension of Smarterm™ and Sunquest™, and access to it should be restricted just as computer access is restricted within your institution. Patient information retrieval, storage, and display all reside solely on the PC running OL_Monitor, and is not transmitted in any fashion to another location. The responsibility for any patient information disclosure lies with the license holder.
