Benefits of technology
Facilitates rapid and effective antimicrobial therapy by automatically generating decision support information, reducing mortality and length of stay, and optimizing antibiotic use, ensuring compliance with antimicrobial stewardship guidelines and regional policies.
Problems solved by technology
Anomalous results that are not auto-released may require a manager signature before manual release.
However, LIS may be hampered by its limited capacity for electronic data exchange.
Indeed, LIS implementations are notorious for being inflexible and hard to adapt to new requirements.
However, middleware may—and often does—become a critical point of failure for some prior art implementations.
Trying to prop up an old or poorly designed hospital LIS systems with middleware is error prone and may result in a fragile communication system.
The solutions provided by middleware tend to extend the usable life, and continue the monthly maintenance fees, for the LIS vendor, thereby making operation of an LIS more expensive.
A bidirectional connection generally costs twice that of a unidirectional link—often cost-restrictive for smaller hospitals with smaller budgets.
Having an integrated diagnostic instrument that avoids middleware helps decrease hospital dependency on a particular LIS provider or middleware provider and may reduce laboratory flexibility to switch instruments (because of non-compatibility with in-house middleware), which is regularly practiced in the diagnostics world.
Typically, the user will have limited access to the decision support generator system.
In this way, the “IF” statement is not fully customizable.
Typically, this user will be a system administrator for a laboratory network, however, any user having sufficient privileges may change the rules.
However, in some cases a Rule is disabled.
However, the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory transmission medium for propagating signals.

A pathogen detection device is provided. The pathogen detection device may include a pathogen detector circuit configured to detect a target analyte in a patient sample, determine the presence of a pathogen from the target analyte, and generate a detection result including the identity of the pathogen and resistance genes (if any); and a decision support generator circuit configured to generate decision support information for the pathogen by application of user configurable rules to the detection result, wherein each of the configurable rules include a logic expression that indicates the corresponding decision support information of the rule to be included in the detection report.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This application relates to medical instruments and, more particularly, to medical instruments for the detection and / or analysis of target analytes from patient samples.BACKGROUND[0002]Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and increased length of stay (LOS). Delayed administration of effective antibiotics increases the risk of mortality, and therefore correct selection of an antibiotic regimen early in the treatment process is paramount. Delayed identification of the causative organism and antimicrobial resistance or susceptibility may often be responsible for delays in optimal antimicrobial therapy. Rapid diagnostic testing (RDT), which includes tests, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and peptide nucleic acid fluorescent in situ hybridization (PNA-FISH), has improved upon conventional microbiological methods, reducin...
