One-stop software solution launched for clinical labs

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, NOV. 26. The Bangalore-based CifTech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. has launched CIFTlab 1.0 as a one-stop software solution for clinical diagnostic laboratories. It is as relevant to small laboratories as to advanced hi-tech ones, and it is the first such product of its kind in India, CIFTech's CEO, Mr. G.L.Nagendra, has said.

Speaking to presspersons here today, he said the software was built on client server technology, and it was a product that addressed all aspects of laboratory operations such as test registration and reporting, inventory and equipment maintenance. It could also handle various categories of customers including members, corporates, nursing homes, health insurance agents as well as walk-in patients.

It was a multi-user version of CIFTlab 1.0 that provided effective sharing of data across the network for quick flow of information and retrieval. It also had extensive report and query options, and came with a ready-to-use pre-defined clinical test format database, which had been prepared and verified by qualified pathologists, apart from features such as result calculation methods and viewing of colour atlas, he added.

A system with a 400 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM, 4.2 GB hard disk, Windows 95 or higher was recommended, although systems of a lesser order could be booted, Mr. Nagendra said.

The company's earlier products, CIFTClinic and CIFTHealth in the healthcare genre had been received well in the districts and by single doctor clinics all over the State, according to Mr. Nagendra. While CIFTClinic addressed the requirements of practising doctors to automate medical and administrative aspects of operations, and handle routine activities such as scheduling appointments, accounting and maintaining patient records, CIFTHealth was a software that provided for total hospital automation. It was a Windows-based multi-user software that supported data mining and data warehousing technology, and generated over 50 reports, registration cards, customised laboratory reports, patient accounting and billing, and so on, Mr. Nagendra added.
