Orchard Software Offers a COVID-19 University Testing Software Solution to Help Universities Bring Students & Faculty Back to Campus Safely
Orchard Software announced the availability of its COVID-19 university testing software solution, designed to help universities bring their students and faculty back to school safely. The laboratory information system (LIS) solution enables universities to automate and streamline their COVID-19 order entry, sample collection, and sample routing processes, and to identify positive patients using Orchard’s powerful data analysis tools. Universities with a molecular testing laboratory can also use Orchard for COVID-19 sample intake, internal testing, and reporting. For those universities without an internal molecular testing lab, Orchard will leverage its comprehensive library of laboratory information system interfaces to quickly route COVID-19 test results back to the university. Overall, this solution will make it possible for universities to develop a comprehensive and streamlined approach to help ensure that they are testing their students and faculty, responding to positive results as quickly as possible to minimize the spread of COVID-19 across campuses.

Orchard is already working with two major universities to help them bring students and faculty back to campus safely this fall. One of Orchard’s university partners will be performing testing on campus, using university COVID-19 testing software to support order entry, sample collection, sample routing, sample intake, internal testing, and reporting.
Orchard’s solutions can improve processes associated with COVID-19 testing for universities that are performing testing on-site or collecting samples to send to a reference laboratory. Orchard offers flexible solutions and options that are beneficial to any student health center that is in the process of addressing the COVID-19 crisis. This offering is another example of how Orchard is assisting our clients with the pandemic. Our advanced workflow process engine facilitates unique laboratory workflows, resulting in improvements in efficiency and patient safety.
