Aspyra and Physicians Laboratory Form Agreement

Aspyra Inc. announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Physicians Laboratory Services Inc. to upgrade the laboratory’s system and implement new modules. Based in Calabasas, Aspyra provides health care information technology products to the health care industry, while Omaha-based Physicians Laboratory Services Inc. in Omaha serves 19 hospitals in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa, with more than 500 doctors’ offices in the same service area. “In addition to the sharing of [Electronic Medical Records] data, PLS customers will benefit by the secure Internet access of the WebGateway Order Entry and Results Inquiry module,” stated Michelle Del Guercio, Aspyra’s director of marketing and product management. WebGateway enables physicians to place orders and access patient results on demand, and it reduces the number of calls placed into the laboratory for result inquiry and order placement, Del Guercio continued. PLS has also purchased the Aspyra CyberPATH Anatomic Pathology module to automate workflow and reporting in the laboratory.
