Point of Care Middleware Options

[HMCPOCC 0]

Currently using TelCOR as middleware, and I am aware of RALS (the Alere product)... but what else is out there that folks are using for connecting glucose meters, I-stats and other devices to the patient's electronic medical record.

Pweb is what we currently have for i-STATs and Abbott glucose meters.

I  do remember hearing a lot about Pweb from my previous hospital POCC.

We use RALS for Inform II, i-STATs, CoaguChek XS Pro, HMS+ and BiliChek and love it!

Anyone using Telcor and clinitek?

I know nothing about it but the Roche rep a month ago came in and mentioned a connectivity solution through Roche.

In my POCT career I've used all of the middleware products and your best bets for flexibility of devices is either Telcor or RALS.  We currently have Gluocse, Hemocue, I-STAT, Hepcon, Medtronic ACT Plus, DCA Vantage and the Clinitek connected to Telcor.  It is very helpful as we are a 1000 bed hospital.  The problem with vendor specific systems (such as Pweb) is that they claim they can connect any vendor, but our experience was that it is never completely true.  Best to go with a neutral party.
