[Histonet] Ventana/ LIS

[Michael Mihalik]

Good afternoon Carol,

I represent an LIS vendor and I can definitely tell you that 'technically',
your LIS can be directly interfaced to the Ultra because we have done that
ourselves.

On the other hand, it's an entirely different issue as to whether Ventana
will allow you to do this.  Now that they have their Vantage offering, I
believe that they are trying to run all their interfaces through this
product.  I'm not 100% certain of that fact though.

I hope it's not true as it turns a pretty straightforward, HL7 based
interface with a fairly standard cost into a significantly larger project
both in terms of cost and implementation.

If you'd like to discuss any of the technical details, please feel free to
contact me directly.

Can the Ventana Ultra system be interfaced to your LIS so that personnel do
not have to re-enter the case # and patient ID in the Ultra?  I know that
Ventana offers the Vantage system that connects everything, but can one
merely interface their LIS directly to the Ultra?
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thank you,
Carol
