CMO at medical center–https://clutch.co/profile/exoft?page=1

Client

Our client is a medical center specializing in sarcoma and other oncology disorders. To receive proper treatment, cancer patients have to do various lab tests on a regular basis. For physicians, it means a lot of time-consuming management work (i.e., placing lab orders, tracking their statuses, monitoring diagnostics results). Our client decided to streamline this process and let clinicians focus more on treatment strategies instead of wasting time on repetitive technical tasks. Its CTO sent us a request, asking to build a user-friendly web system that would allow medical staff to easily order and manage patients’ lab tests. The client also needed a desktop application for administrative purposes.

Challenge

To bring the client’s idea to life, we had to integrate a new custom solution with several third-party systems. Our team also had to create an intuitive user interface that would make the web app easy-to-use even for clinicians who had never worked with such software before. Lastly, our programmers had to ensure the highest level of data protection to meet the regulatory requirements of the health industry.

STARLIMS (a popular laboratory information management system) to enable the processing of lab results
Microsoft Dynamics CRM to simplify management of all interactions with patients, and
LKBridge (a connectivity solution) to eliminate the necessity of retyping patient demographic information that already exists in the electronic format from other management systems to the new solution

In general, the scope of work completed by our team covered the following development services:

Research
User flow mapping

Front-end development
Back-end development

Technologies

WCF

DocuSign

ADO.NET

Microsoft Dynamics

Telerik

WPF

MVVM Light Toolkit

DevExpress

Angular.js

jQuery

Bootstrap

Kendo UI

Results

To meet the client’s demands, our team built two solutions: a comprehensive laboratory ordering web system and a user-friendly desktop application. As a result, they received:

Streamlined processes
With Lab Web Portal, physicians don’t have to spend ages on data entry and other technical tasks.
Elimination of human errors
Automation of lab ordering leaves no space for double-entry, lost orders, and human-caused errors in patient information.
