Corona Pool Tests for Schools

Corona Pool Tests for Schools

Since the end of the summer vacations, several German states have switched to corona pool testing at daycare centers and schools, in which all children in a group or class are tested together with just one PCR test. We support laboratories in implementing these group tests safely and quickly.

As a rule, the pool tests run as follows: Schools are provided with barcode and QR code label sheets and the test material by the laboratory. After sampling in the respective group or class, all swabs are collected in a pool tube. This is provided with a barcode so that a clear allocation is ensured. The responsible teacher or educator scans the corresponding QR code with his or her cell phone and is automatically redirected to a web form. This form is already filled out and only needs to be completed with the name of the school and the respective class. In this way, the lab order is activated.

After evaluation of the test pools in the laboratory, the results will be reported to the:school's Corona Officer. If the test results are negative, no further action is required. In the case of a positive pool test, retesting of the children from this group is arranged - but this is done individually and in the child's home environment. For this purpose, parents receive labels with a barcode and a QR code in addition to the swab material. After the test has been performed, this code is stuck onto the test tube and scanned in order to be automatically forwarded to the website for data entry. Here, the child's data as well as an email address and, if applicable, a cell phone number are entered to activate the lab order. Once the test result is available, parents and teachers are conveniently informed by e-mail or, if desired, by text message.

Pool tests are a good method for reliably and cost-effectively detecting corona infections. In addition, they are usually well accepted by children, as the tests are usually performed as so-called lollipop tests. With our solution, such pool tests can be implemented easily and safely, even on a large scale. If you are interested in our software solution, please contact us.

Käpsele 2021

Käpsele 2021

Being called a "Käpsele" is probably one of the nicest compliments you can get in Swabian. In Swabia, being a Käpsele means having a lot on your mind. Reason enough, therefore, to reward special achievements with a prize bearing precisely this name.

At Bertha-von-Suttner-Gymnasium, with which we have been partners for many years, there are many bright minds. Some of them were able to complete their school careers last week and receive their school-leaving certificates. The best among them received special awards for their achievements.

The donors of these awards include private individuals as well as companies from the region. Since mathematics plays a major role in a software company like ours, it was clear to us that we would take on the award for the best exam results in this subject. And since we also have a great soft spot for Swabian, the name of the prize was almost obvious.

The Käpsele Prize for the best high school graduates in mathematics went to Juri Langer and Jonas Herrmann. This was the first time that two winners were honored with this prize for their outstanding achievements. We are happy about so much brains and wish the graduates all the best for the future.

QuickPAT - Patient communication made easy

QuickPAT - Patient communication made easy

The pandemic has shown how important digital communication solutions are for patients. Optimal communication creates satisfaction, saves time, and is thus an important building block for everyday medical work. With QuickPAT, we have now developed a tool for your patient communication. It consists of two modules: Via the appointment booking, patients can make their appointments online and via the document portal they can retrieve documents digitally.

You can use the appointment booking module for any type of appointment and configure it according to your own wishes - whether it is a regular consultation appointment, Covid test or vaccination appointment. Online appointment booking saves a lot of time and ensures trouble-free practice processes - this is particularly important in the current situation, where Corona vaccinations are increasingly being made the responsibility of GPs*. But the module can also be optimally used for other scenarios.

The administration of the module is very simple. You can configure the appointment booking form individually and define which appointments and times should be available for selection, add exceptions or adapt the design to your corporate design. You can also define which fields are mandatory and be flexible in the selection of bookable times. Thus, it is possible to store special and blocked times as well as to assign time slots more than once. Different appointment types can also be defined and the duration required for each can be specified. The duration of the bookable time slot is displayed to the patient in the booking screen. If there are multiple locations, such as MVZs or practice branches, this can also be taken into account when booking appointments and set accordingly.

In addition to booking appointments, QuickPAT offers the possibility via the document portal, to make all types of documents available online. Whether findings, medication plans or special certificates - offer your patients the convenient option of simply viewing, downloading and printing personal documents in digital form without having to visit the practice. This saves time and money and offers your patients attractive added value.

By the way: Both functions are available to your patients web-based, so they can access them at any time - whether via PC or smartphone.

If you'd like to learn more, just contact us and we'll show you how to optimize your patient communications with QuickPAT.

QuickTEST - New functions for positive test results

QuickTEST - New functions for positive test results

If a Corona rapid test is positive at the test center, it must in any case be verified by a PCR test in the laboratory. In addition, the test center is obliged to report the positive test result to the relevant health authority. QuickTEST supports testing facilities in fulfilling this obligation - quickly and easily.

With QuickTEST, a follow-up order for further PCR testing can be created for each positive rapid test result and sent to the laboratory. The sample required for this is already stored in the system, certified by the KV and can be printed directly. This means that pharmacies and other institutions can also order PCR tests.

QuickTEST can also be used to conveniently process the obligatory report to the public health department. If a positive test result is recorded, the program automatically generates a notification form and stores all the necessary data. The responsible health office is also automatically determined and stored. As soon as the positive result is saved, the report form is printed. All positive cases can also be exported with a single click and sent to the health authority as a list.

If you want to know more about the features of QuickTEST, just contact us.

QuickTEST - Implement mass testing with Corona quick tests easily and quickly

QuickTEST - Implement mass testing with Corona quick tests easily and quickly

Rapid antigen tests for SARS-Cov2 viruses are a good way to detect infections directly - and not only in the private sector. The use of rapid tests is also becoming increasingly important for companies, nursing homes, schools or testing stations. To be able to perform rapid tests efficiently for such mass testing, we have developed QuickTEST.

With QuickTEST, order data can be entered individually or imported collectively for mass testing. All that is required is a list of the persons to be tested and their cell phone numbers. This is already stored in the system as a template and can be filled out in advance by companies, e.g. by the HR department.

For clear assignment, the rapid tests are provided with a barcode label before they are performed. Once the result is available, it can be assigned to the respective person with just a few clicks. This is even faster with the barcode control: the barcode affixed to the rapid test is scanned to open the corresponding order. Depending on the result, a barcode for "positive" or "negative" is then scanned. After a short confirmation, the result is finally sent to the respective person via SMS. In this way, the findings can be processed in a few seconds without having to operate the keyboard or mouse even once in between.

The person tested conveniently receives their test result directly via SMS on their smartphone. This also ensures that no one has to wait on site and that there are no crowds.

QuickTEST can be used as a stand-alone solution for test stations or similar. For QuickCON users there is also the possibility to integrate QuickTEST into LabMessenger and make it available to submitters. You can find more information here or simply contact us. We would be happy to show you in a short presentation how easy mass testing with Corona rapid tests can be implemented thanks to QuickTEST.

QuickCON: Digital signature now integrated in LabMessenger

QuickCON: Digital signature now integrated in LabMessenger

With the Digital Signature module, bills requiring a signature can be signed digitally in the doctor's office - paperless and fast. The module is now available in LabMessenger.

What can the Digital Signature module do?

At the sender's site, a digital certificate is generated from the patient data and the laboratory request, which can also be viewed in a preview. For the signature, communication is established with the eHBA using a card reader and the certificate is given the Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). Batch signing of all bills is also possible - saving a lot of time. It is clearly visible which documents still need to be signed. In the laboratory, the signed slips are exported directly to the LIS. The module can be used under both Windows and macOS.

Thanks to the Digital Signature, there is no need to print bills anymore and the signature is done in no time.

 

What is new?
From now on, the module is integrated directly in LabMessenger. This simplifies installation and operation as well as support. In addition, the direct integration means that there is no need to use third-party components on the client side - which increases the speed of the tool. All order data is now stored directly on the QC server, so that only the electronic signature needs to be transferred from the sender to the QC server. This reduces data traffic and makes the transfer significantly faster.

You would like to learn more about it? Then simply contact us. We would be happy to present the module to you in a personal meeting.

Dual leadership for BS software development

Dual leadership for BS software development

Our management is getting reinforcement: From 01.01.2021 Jürgen Bucher will share the management of the company together with Jens Böttinger. As head of development for many years, Jens was significantly involved in the creation of all software solutions and knows the company like no other.

"Jens has been with us since 2009 and since then has been significantly involved in the establishment and development of our products and components. Therefore, it was only logical that he would take over this task at some point and I am very happy about the support," says Jürgen Bucher about the new top management.

While Jürgen will devote himself even more to commercial activities in the future, Jens will be primarily responsible for the development area. With so much concentrated experience and know-how, we definitely couldn't ask for a better management team.

Jens is looking forward to his new office with a lot of motivation and anticipation: "I am looking forward to the future task and would like to thank Jürgen for the trust he has placed in me." We congratulate Jens on his new task and wish him every success. In any case, the future of BS software development is secured.

2020 - A look back at an eventful year

2020 - A look back at an eventful year

The year 2020 will remain a lasting memory for all of us. The Corona pandemic threw a lot of things into disarray and pushed most other issues into the background. It was no different for us - priorities were reset, training days were postponed, trade shows were cancelled and meetings were held from the home office. Despite all the circumstances, we accomplished a lot this year and learned a lot about ourselves in the process. 

Through our industry, we are very close to the corona action. We know first-hand the work that medical practices and laboratories are doing on a daily basis right now and the challenges they are facing. Accordingly, many of the projects we completed this year were related to the corona virus in some way. This included connecting labs to the Corona Warn app as well as adapting our order entry to mass testing at Corona test stations, airports, companies, etc. We often had to respond to ever-changing requirements in order to implement the appropriate solution quickly and reliably.

With a lot of commitment, the odd night shift and special working conditions in the home office, our team mastered the daily challenges and did a great job. In this way, we were also able to make a contribution in the fight against the pandemic.

Many companies and their employees are currently struggling with the economic consequences of the pandemic. We are aware that we work in an industry that is less affected by this and we do not take it for granted. Every Christmas, we donate an amount to humanitarian organizations to give something back to those in a less privileged situation. This year, such support is perhaps more important than ever. 10,000 euros will therefore go to various regional and national organizations. Among them are "Aktion 100 000 und Ulmer helft" and "Ulms kleine Spatzen e.V.", which we would like to support with 3,000 euros each. The remaining 4,000 euros will be divided between the "Sterntaler für Afrika e.V." association , the "Straßenkinderhilfe e.V." and the "Plan-for-the-planet Foundation". We are convinced that every contribution makes a difference and can help - especially in this crisis.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers and partners for the trust they have placed in us over the past year. We are looking forward to further cooperation and look forward to the new year with confidence. Until then, we wish you peaceful and relaxing holidays.

Successful Covid mass testing for companies with QuickCON Order Entry.

Successful Covid mass testing for companies with QuickCON Order Entry.

To break corona infection chains within the workforce, many companies have responded by offering their employees the opportunity for free on-site testing. Such mass testing can be a challenge for the laboratory, especially for larger companies. For this very reason, we have added the module "Series Testing" to QuickCON Order Entry. This is already being used successfully by several laboratories, including the MVZ for Laboratory Medicine and Microbiology Koblenz-Mittelrhein.

"We repeatedly receive requests from large companies that want to have their employees tested. However, corporate testing requires a different procedure than testing stations visited by individual patients. With QuickCON Order Entry, we can implement such projects optimally," says Christian Schaab, IT manager at Labor Koblenz.

The big advantage is the list function of the Order Entry. Thanks to this, COVID 19 orders can be read in collectively. All that is needed is a list of all employees to be tested, which is provided by the company. An individual QR code is then generated for each employee from the data entered. When it's the person's turn, the QR code is scanned by the laboratory staff on site and assigned to the smear. All orders can thus be entered directly with just a few clicks. The labels are printed automatically.

In this way, testing can be carried out on a larger scale in a short time. This gives all those involved a measure of security and can ultimately have a positive effect on the further course of infection.

We are pleased that we can support our customers, such as the Koblenz laboratory, a little bit in their so important work.

QuickLIS Zyto - the information system for cytology

QuickLIS Zyto - the information system for cytology

The time is coming soon. With QuickLIS Zyto, our latest development, which was developed specifically for cytology, will be released at the beginning of 2021. QuickLIS Zyto covers the entire examination spectrum of gynecological cytology. This includes cytological findings, HPV findings, IHC findings and other examinations.

The individual functions enable simple and clear management of cytology findings. All work steps can be carried out with just a few clicks - from digital order entry and reporting to the billing of panel doctors and private invoices and quality management. Open questions are quickly clarified with the chat function.

QuickLIS Zyto offers numerous user-specific setting options. For example, you can create your own lists or perform statistical queries according to specific criteria. Access and modification rights can also be configured individually. In addition, almost any laboratory device can be connected to the system.

Thanks to its intuitive user guidance and clear, concise design, QuickLIS Zyto is child's play to operate, ensuring a stress-free and smooth workflow in the laboratory.

You want to know more? Then simply contact us. We would be happy to present our new development to you in person.

Reliable transmission of findings in cytology

Reliable transmission of findings in cytology

The digital transmission of findings often does not yet run smoothly in cytology; the reason for this is often an unreliable EDI system. The laboratories then lose a lot of time resending lost findings to their sending practices. In addition, many software systems only work on Windows PCs and not on macOS.

QuickLIS solves these problems and transfers cytology findings in real time as encrypted LDT files from the laboratory system to the doctors' offices. The practice staff can then manage the findings clearly and download them again if necessary. All files are stored on the server in the laboratory and can no longer be lost! Through the connection to the physician information system of the sender, the findings data are also stored directly here. If questions arise, they can be quickly clarified via chat - saving a lot of time. QuickLIS report transmission can be easily connected to the existing laboratory system without having to completely change your software environment.

With QuickLIS, security comes first: encrypted LDT files meet the highest security standards - comparable to a letter with a seal and certificate. This is far more than an encrypted e-mail or even an FTP client, which in this metaphor would be comparable to a postcard.

Are you interested in a reliable solution for the transmission of your findings? Then try out QuickLIS digital report transmission easily and without obligation! During a trial period of 6 months, you can test our solution with up to ten of your sending practices free of charge and without obligation. There are no costs for you during this time - even if you decide against our solution afterwards. If you are convinced by QuickLIS, you will only pay after the trial period.

You want details? You can find more information on QuickLIS report transmission here. We would also be happy to present our solution to you in a personal meeting. Just contact us. We are looking forward to meeting you.

Done!

Done!

One office management assistant, two application developers, three system integrators and two university graduates - this year's graduating class brought us no less than eight freshly graduated specialists, and we wouldn't want to give any of them up again.

Our trainees Esra, Philipp H., Simon, Philipp S., Jan and Ronald have been enriching our team since 2019 and 2020. All trainees have been right in the thick of things right from the start, so they were able to take on responsibility early on and put their knowledge to the test in their first projects of their own. The same applies to Florian and Johannes, who successfully completed their studies in computer science and data science in medicine this year. Both came to us as internship students and wrote their bachelor theses here.

With their concentrated expertise, the now fully trained employees enrich our team. In addition, they are, above all, valuable colleagues whom we would not want to miss in our team. We are all the more pleased that each and every one of them will stay with us to continue actively shaping the future of our company.

At this point, congratulations to all graduates. After the long time of preparation, cramming and writing, you can be justifiably proud of yourselves. We certainly are.

We are also keeping our fingers crossed for our two dual students Kai and Caspar, who are currently in the final stages of their bachelor thesis.

By the way: We are looking for new talent again. So if you are interested in IT in the medical industry and one or the other adventure with our team: there are still training positions available for this year.

Programming blind? We see no problem there

Programming blind? We see no problem there

At first glance, Martin's workplace doesn't look very different from those of other colleagues. A desk, an office chair, a laptop - that's about it. But a closer look reveals that there are no additional screens or a mouse. And if you watch Martin at work for a while, it quickly becomes clear that he works differently than the other colleagues. Because Martin is blind.

When the sighted colleagues program applications, they use an integrated development environment. They constantly switch back and forth between several open windows on their screens, compare or click buttons to compile. For Martin, this very visual way of working doesn't work. His headphones are his screen. For this, he uses so-called screen reader programs that recognize text within images and read the information to him. "Basically, my first programming skills were based on rewriting screen reader programs for my purposes. I was forced to customize them to my needs, so that they read aloud only what was interesting to me, for example." Martin, on the other hand, does not usually use a Braille display, an output device that translates digitized text into Braille and functions like a tactile keyboard. This is partly because he was not born blind and only had to painstakingly learn Braille as an adult. When Martin develops, he moves around on the command line and writes scripts that are composed of individual command line commands. But this requires a certain mental model, because he simply has to know certain contexts. Thus it needs at the beginning possibly somewhat longer, in order to learn the code. Once the code is internalized, however, he is often even faster with commands than his sighted colleagues.

Martin has been with us for over two years now as an application developer. He works in the web area and takes care of deployment or automation processes and the containerization of applications, among other things. At that time, the contact was established through a personnel consulting firm specializing in IT professionals. Because of his disability, the job search initially proved to be not so easy for the trained developer. And this despite the fact that he had been programming himself since 1997 and could look back on many years of professional experience even before his training. Even for managing director Jürgen Bucher, the agency's request came as a surprise at first: "A code can consist of complex structures and many programs are graphically structured. Martin, on the other hand, has to have it all read out to him and keep it in his memory. At first, I actually had a hard time imagining that. But we just tried it out!" With success, because Martin has long since joined the team and performs his tasks just like any other developer, but in a different way.

Martin sees himself as a mediator between the worlds and hopes that more companies will dare to employ employees with disabilities: "Often, the hurdles are not as high as many fear. My screen readers, for example, are all open source programs; I don't need any other aids." At many companies, however, he says, internal policies are so strict that often only certain programs may be used and no exceptions are granted. For Martin, it is therefore important to talk much more about accessibility, rather than participation. Companies should ask themselves the question, "How do I make it possible for someone to use their skills?" Martin is a trained professional with the same skills as a sighted application developer, but he is blind.

Documentation obligation made easy

Documentation obligation made easy

Cytology laboratories and gynecology practices are required to document cancer screening examinations as part of the oKFE guideline. For this purpose, the forms specified by IQTIG must be completed electronically and submitted to the responsible KV on a quarterly basis. This requires a great deal of effort on the part of the employees, as the individual forms usually have to be filled out by hand or extensively completed.

With QuickLIS, the documentation obligation is now child's play. With the new KV documentation module in combination with our Order Entry, the oKFE documentation forms can be almost completely pre-filled in the sending practice. The corresponding patient data as well as findings and any previous findings are transferred from the system. If necessary, the forms can be supplemented. After checking the documentation sheets, an export file is created, which is transmitted to the KV by the laboratory or the gynecological practice.

For all users, this approach saves an enormous amount of time - valuable time that is freed up for other things.

As a laboratory, you can offer your senders added value by giving them valuable time and making their daily work a little easier. Would you like to learn more about the latest QuickLIS module? Then simply contact us.

After-work excursion with NABU

After-work excursion with NABU

Half a year has passed in the meantime and our Advent campaign is still providing nice moments and encounters. Recently, we were able to see for ourselves that our donation to the NaturschutzbundDeutschland Gruppe Ulm/Neu-Ulm (NABU) literally fell on fertile ground.

During an excursion led by NABU Ulm in early summer temperatures, we got a comprehensive impression of the Arnegger Ried, a nature reserve near Ulm. The aim of this project is to restore the original pre-industrial lowland moor in order to create a habitat for the rare species found there. To this end, the area is grazed by cattle in the summer months to push back the overgrowth.

During our guided tour through the Arnegger Ried, we were able to convince ourselves of the impressive wealth of knowledge of our two excursion leaders. No matter what plant or animal it was, Diana May and Michael Rau from Ulmer NABU were able to answer almost any of our questions. And so this excursion not only showed us how well our donation is in the hands of Ulmer NABU, it also gave us a wonderful evening out and closed one or two gaps in our education.

Service specifications - available everywhere and always up to date

Service specifications - available everywhere and always up to date

The service specifications provide your senders with basic information on the laboratory analyses you offer. However, this requires regular maintenance, for which programming skills are sometimes needed. In addition, the directory often needs to be maintained on multiple channels, making ongoing maintenance tedious.

With the QuickCON service specifications, maintaining your examination program is child's play. It can be maintained centrally in DocConnect and published automatically via all channels. Thus, the directory can be presented directly via QuickCON, displayed on your homepage, and exported as a PDF for printing at the push of a button. All changes can be made in no time at all and are automatically synchronized. The data required for this is taken directly from the laboratory information system.

In addition to integration on your website, the service directory can be presented as a separate landing page and is also available as a mobile view. In the case of multiple lab locations, different directories can also be displayed.

In addition, the QuickCON service specifications can be individually adapted to your corporate design by using your own logo and house colors, which has an even more positive effect on your customer loyalty.

You are not a QuickCON customer? Our service specifications can also be used as a stand-alone solution without any problems. Just get in touch with us.

The wait was worth it: The little clown in Neu-Ulm

The wait was worth it: The little clown in Neu-Ulm

Take two clowns and let them bring one of the most widely read books in the world to the stage - and there you have it, a recipe for success that will captivate audiences of all ages. With "The Little Clown", the two clown performers Katrin Jantz and Hanna Münch from Ulm have succeeded in lovingly adapting the philosophical fairy tale "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The result is a poetic and mischievous play that takes its audience on a journey into another world and makes a plea for humanity.

The students and teachers of the Ludwigsfeld/Neu-Ulm elementary school recently had the opportunity to accompany the curious little clown on his journey to find a friend together with him. In a total of three performances, the two actresses took the children into a magical world and brought the most diverse adventures to life with a great deal of emotion and wit. Thanks to the lovingly designed stage set and the elaborate costumes, diving into this fantasy world was literally child's play, so that all spectators, whether young or old, were able to gather many beautiful impressions at the end and thus enjoyed a wonderful little break from everyday school life.

The play, which we produced in the course of our Advent fundraising campaign was supposed to be performed in December, but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. We think the wait for the little clown was more than worth it.

New function in Order Entry: Interactive PDF forms for additional information

New function in Order Entry: Interactive PDF forms for additional information

Certain examinations often require additional information for the laboratory request, which must be filled out manually in the doctor's office and usually also supplemented with the patient data.

To facilitate this process, it is now possible in Order Entry to add interactive PDF forms to the individual examinations. If a new order is created in the doctor's office and the corresponding examination is selected, the PDF form linked to it opens automatically. This can then be filled out digitally, printed or filed directly. The patient data is already stored automatically and no longer needs to be added manually.

You can define yourself in the laboratory for which examinations the interactive PDF forms are to be stored and when these are to be considered mandatory fields. This function can be easily linked to your existing set of rules.

The new Order Entry function simplifies the lab request for your senders and ensures error-free processes in the lab.
