Orion Health Technology Helps Build Foundation And Grow Business For LabDx

Laboratory and BioDiagnostics, LLC (LabDx) of Lexington, Kentucky has selected the Rhapsody Integration Engine software from Orion Health to provide a foundation for secure, scalable, and high-quality data exchange for the newly established clinical diagnostic testing laboratory company. LabDx is a highly specialized laboratory, which features state of the art testing equipment designed to meet the needs of non-hospital-based patient care providers, including highly specialized practices. LabDx found Orion Health through the help of partner referrals and industry knowledge, and quickly recognized that Rhapsody’s scalability and flexibility would uniquely meet their current and future needs. LabDx was up and running with Rhapsody installed within 2 weeks.

Rob Mudd, President of LabDx explains, “Finding an integration engine that can address our long-term growth plans and is flexible enough to accommodate the specialized laboratory services we offer was quite a challenge, but with recommendations from key business partners we found that Rhapsody was exactly what we were looking for.”

“Our team has in excess of 400 years combined experience in clinical diagnostic laboratory science experience and we are competing head-to-head with the major players in the laboratory services market. We need to invest in advanced, leading edge technology that can grow with us. The Rhapsody technology meets our criteria and Orion Health was a pleasure to work with, helping to support and expedite the purchasing and training process to only weeks, while offering an attention to detail rarely found in the healthcare industry,” added Mr. Mudd.

Paul Viskovich, Orion Health President of North America and EMEA Operations notes, “Rhapsody helps laboratories like LabDx overcome the challenges inherent in managing huge volumes of data in multiple formats. By focusing on performance and standards, while retaining flexibility, we're able to ensure our solution is an easy choice for this type of implementation.”?

With Rhapsody’s powerful and easy to use integration tools, LabDx will have the ability to provide laboratory data to the patient’s electronic health record with minimal effort.
