About

Lab GPS

Features
Read full description

Lab GPS™ is the first fully cloud-based offering from Data Innovations, built to improve uptime with lab connectivity monitoring, control, and notifications. Offered to all Instrument Manager™ connectivity customers, Lab GPS brings the power of our industry-leading vendor-neutral solution outside the four walls of the lab and enables users to monitor, stop, start, and resolve connection issues even when they are off-site. Connectivity failure and downtime cause inefficiency in the lab and have a significant impact on patient care and turn-around time. Recovery from these downtimes stress the lab further. The longer systems remain disconnected or down, the longer the recovery time will be. Notifications in Lab GPS™ allow users to be notified via visual notification in the web-app when a connection is disrupted or via email if they are off-site. Users can then securely sign into the web-app using single-sign on to stop and start the downed connection, which can resolve connectivity issues and reduce downtime. Lab GPS™ is built to improve business continuity by increasing uptime and reducing recovery time. Our purpose, as always, is to help your lab focus on what matters most - improving patient care.
