Data Innovations Instrument Manager (IM) is the industry's most-used lab middleware solution, serving as a truly vendor-neutral connectivity and automation platform that has been in use for over 30 years. It is designed to consolidate control of all testing into a single platform for end-to-end lab enablement, supporting over 6,000 hospitals and labs globally.
Key Capabilities and Features:
- Vendor-Neutral Connectivity: IM ensures interoperability between the Laboratory Information System (LIS) and virtually any analyzer, EMR/EHR, or automation system, regardless of the vendor. The platform supports a library of over 1,200 drivers.
- Autoverification: The platform features a powerful Autoverification capability that can automatically validate up to 95% of test processing across disciplines, significantly reducing Turnaround Time (TAT) and freeing up staff for more critical tasks.
- Centralized Management: It provides Centralized Lab Management through a single workspace for IT oversight, managing connections, drivers, configurations, test status, results, and integrated quality control.
- Comprehensive Rules Engine: The rules engine supports fully customizable workflows, ranging from simple critical value flagging to complex reflex testing, with a built-in testing engine to validate rules before deployment.
- Modernization (IM 2023): The latest editions include the DI Gateway, a new web-based application framework with a modernized user interface, and the Test Properties app, which simplifies the configuration of reference ranges and reduces the need for complex rules writing.
IM is a scalable solution that enables multiple sites and dozens of LISs to operate through a single platform, promoting optimal efficiency and high-quality patient care.
