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
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
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
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
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.
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.

Quickly and securely recorded - COVID Order Entry for test stations
Whether it's corona testing stations at airports or train stations, fever outpatient clinics, testing in companies or community facilities. With COVID Order Entry, all orders are entered quickly and easily on site. All orders can also be entered collectively for patient lists. The Forms 10C and Sample OEGD required here for entrants from high-risk countries can be requested directly with COVID Order Entry.
For patients with health insurance, the master data is simply read in via the electronic health card. For travelers from high-risk countries, there is the option of entering their data via a website before the test is performed. This can be made available in several languages. A QR code is then generated from the master data entered. When it is the turn of the person concerned, the QR code is scanned by the staff on site so that all the data is read in automatically.
All orders can be exported as Excel files with all relevant data. The required forms, labels and, if applicable, IGEL contracts are automatically created and printed. In addition, a DIN A4 form with the patient data, the respective QR code and a declaration for the employer can be printed for each person tested.
Our software solution is already used by several test stations. If you are also interested, simply contact us. We would be happy to present COVID Order Entry to you personally.
