Makita123 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Is it possible to use SoftBank with a different LIS? If yes, how does the ordering work?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Saikin Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 You would have to discuss this interface with both vendors. You may have to order manually in you BBIS if they cannot or will not interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmarotto Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 We have Softbank and our Lab has Sunquest. We did not interface Softbank with Sunquest, which in retrospect was a big mistake. Orders come from the HIS, are split with a "dummy" test going to Sunquest so phlebotomy knows to collect a speciment. The "real" test goes to Softbank. We have to result the dummy test as "received" to get it off the pending logs but the result does not get sent back. Only the test results from Softbank are sent back. It adds some extra steps that we would not have if orders and results had been interfaced through Sunquest. Our lab will be going to Epic Beaker and we will remain on Softbank. It remains to be decided how the interface will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbostock Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 We also have SoftBank; have been live for a little over 2 years. Our HIS is Epic, and we have Epic Beaker for our Lab system. Orders are placed in Epic and come by interface into SoftBank. We are only interfaced with EpicCare, not Beaker, but now we are investigating that because it will fix some issues we currently have. Send me a private message if you need answers to specific questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C. Staley Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Generally speaking they can interface anything if you have the money to spend and it can be very expensive. Good luck because a good interface is usually money well spent. Likewine99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We LOVE SoftBank. We looked at a few stand alone systems, and we really liked SoftBank the best. We had many interfacing issues and the Soft people were instrumental in making it happen. Private message me if you have any specific questions about either system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
