Soren aligns with LabCorp for lab orders

Soren Technology has entered a strategic alliance with LabCorp to integrate bidirectional lab orders and results into its cloud-based EHR system.

Soren's Biostation EHR encompasses SOAP notes, e-prescribing e-laboratory reporting, practice management functions and an Apple iPad touch-screen option. The agreement will integrate LabCorp's test ordering and results data in a cloud-based platform, the Planton, Fla., company stated.

The technology will streamline clinical messaging to improve patient safety while helping providers qualify for federal meaningful use incentive payments in an economical way, according to Soren. LabCorp, of Burlington, N.C., provides services ranging from routine testing, such as basic blood counts and cholesterol tests, to methods that assist in diagnosing genetic conditions, cancers and other diseases.
