A new mobile application has been released that allows point-of-care coordinators (POCCs) and laboratory supervisors to control operations from any location.
Modern-day laboratories face modern-day challenges. It is a constant quest to achieve the balance between quality of results and services, speed of result delivery and cost-effectiveness of operations. A critical aspect in laboratory operations is the proper management of information technology – the flow of patients’ clinical data and information.
To meet the demand for a more streamlined flow of information, Roche (Basel, Switzerland) developed the cobas infinity Point-of-Care mobile application. This app is available for iOS and Android devices and works on smartphones and tablets in conjunction with the Roche cobas IT 1000 program.
The app provides interoperability across the full Roche POC portfolio including Accu-Chek Inform II, CoaguChek XS Plus and Pro, cobas h 232, cobas b 101, Urisys 1100, cobas b 121, cobas b 123, and cobas b 221 for diverse clinical disciplines, such as clinical chemistry, immunology, hematology, coagulation and urinalysis.
“From the outset, the app was designed with the POCC in mind,” said Georgios Spitadakis, lifecycle leader for workflow and IT at Roche. “The cobas infinity POC mobile is not just PC software on a smaller screen or with a different design. It has been designed by POCCs for POCCs to help them carry out their most essential routine tasks efficiently and easily with a mobile device.”
