Direct, bi-directional interfaces with the country’s largest reference labs and imaging centers, Quest, LabCorp, Natera, SimonMed, and more, built natively into Althea Smart EHR. Place orders without leaving the chart, and watch structured results post to the patient record automatically.
Stop printing requisitions. Stop scanning faxed results. Stop transcribing values into the chart by hand. Althea Smart EHR connects directly to the labs and imaging centers you already use, so the order, the result, and the patient record stay in lockstep.
Mark any order as a favorite for one-tap reordering across your patient panel. Your most-used tests, A1C, CBC, BMP, TSH, are always one tap away, no searching, no retyping.
Group commonly co-ordered tests, like a diabetes follow-up panel or a pre-op workup, into a single Custom Panel. Order eight tests with one click. Personal to you, or shared across the practice.
Review and e-sign results from the inbox in one tap. Send a copy to the patient via secure SMS or push it to the Althea Health Portal, all from the same screen, no separate tools required.
Whether it’s a routine A1C, a complex genetic panel, or a CT scan, the path from order to signed result is the same, and it never leaves Althea Smart EHR.
Pick from Favorites, a Custom Panel, or search the catalog. AOEs, ICD-10, and fasting status all captured in the same screen.
Order transmits electronically to Quest, LabCorp, SimonMed, or the partner of your choice. No fax, no paper requisition.
Discrete result data posts to the chart automatically. Abnormals are flagged H, L, or critical at the top of the inbox.
E-sign in one tap. Send a copy to the patient by secure SMS or post to the portal. Audit trail built in.
A diabetes follow-up panel goes out to the lab. Discrete, flagged, signable results come back. No paper, no scanning, no transcription.
The essentials, partners, workflow, and compliance, answered briefly.
Direct, bi-directional interfaces are live with Quest Diagnostics, Sonora Quest, LabCorp, Exact Sciences, Natera, Primex Clinical Laboratories, United WestLabs, WestPac Labs, Precision Diagnostics, Southwest Labs, HealthQuest Esoterics, and Makomedical for laboratory orders, plus SimonMed Imaging and Arizona Diagnostic Radiology for imaging. New interfaces are added on request, MD Synergy actively expands the partner network as practices need.
Orders are placed electronically from inside the patient chart. Required AOEs (Ask-on-Order Entry questions), ICD-10 diagnosis codes, fasting status, and specimen routing are captured in the same screen, then transmitted directly to the chosen facility, no faxes, no paper requisitions, no separate portal.
Results post automatically to the ordering provider’s inbox and the patient chart as soon as the lab or imaging center releases them. Discrete numerical values are stored as structured data, so trending, flagging abnormals, and graphing across visits all work out of the box. Imaging reports include a one-tap link to the source PACS viewer where supported.
Yes. Mark any order as a Favorite for one-tap reordering across your patient panel, and group commonly co-ordered tests (such as a diabetes follow-up panel: A1C, lipid panel, microalbumin, eGFR) into Custom Panels that fire as a single click. Favorites and panels can be personal to a provider or shared practice-wide.
Results land in a sortable, filterable provider inbox with abnormals flagged at the top. Review and e-sign with one tap, then send a copy to the patient via secure text or push it to the Althea Health Patient Portal. The audit trail records who reviewed, when, and what action was taken.
Yes. The system flags H, L, and critical values per the lab’s reference ranges, surfaces them at the top of the inbox, and supports configurable rules for routing critical results to a specific provider or escalation pathway. Trending across prior visits is one tap away.
MD Synergy works with practices to onboard additional reference labs and imaging centers as needed. If your preferred facility supports HL7 or a comparable standard, an interface is typically achievable. Reach out and the integrations team will scope it for your practice.
