The MediPATH Pathology Management system was created and installed in 1988.
It was specifically designed to suit Australian laboratory, administration and billing conditions. Once installed, no MediPATH site has changed to a different system (unless taken over by a larger corporation).

MediPATH is currently installed in more than twenty five sites throughout Australia and the United Kingdom.


SITE ANALYSIS

Prior to installation, each site is analysed to ensure maximum efficiency and productivity within the laboratory. The review covers areas such as :

• Cost containment
• Resource utilisation
• Instrument selection
• Workflow procedures
• Staff allocation and rostering
• Accreditation requirements

USER FRIENDLY FEATURES

The program set is totally flexible and many functions are user defined. The system can be set up with individual preferences while maintaining integrity within the whole laboratory. Menu items are user defined. Jump keys and on-screen prompts provide ease of operation for the user.

During installation, MediPATH staff liaise with laboratory and office staff at all levels to ensure they are well trained, understand the system and that it meets their requirements.

As well as those automatically generated by the system, simple programs provide step-by-step instructions which enable users to perform individual analyses and statistical evaluations.
