MADISON,
Wis., Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ImageMover,
a provider of Workflow Services for pharmacies, is proud to
announce its partnership with QuidelOrtho, a leading provider of
point-of-care diagnostic testing solutions, to bring a
comprehensive solution for pharmacist-administered testing for a
variety of illnesses, including COVID-19, influenza A+B, Lyme
disease, strep throat, and RSV. This revolutionary combination of
diagnostic hardware and customized software offers patients fast
and accurate results and simplifies the test-to-treat process for
pharmacists.
The integrated solution combines QuidelOrtho's Sofia 2 fluorescent immunoassay analyzer, an
automated small benchtop system, with Workflow Services to create a
one-stop solution for pharmacists. With this patient-friendly
system, pharmacies can onboard patients 80% faster than with the
current manual process and are freed up to focus on what really
matters – delivering the best possible patient care.
The process is simple: patients complete a short questionnaire
and self-register, pharmacists review patient information and
perform testing using the Sofia 2
test, and Workflow Services automatically reports the results, and
if allowed, the pharmacist will dispense medication based on the
outcome of the test result.
"This solution addresses major challenges pharmacists face when
offering a test-to-treat program, such as lack of staffing and time
for complex reporting and record keeping. We're excited to partner
with Workflow Services to continue to build comprehensive pharmacy
programs for the new age of clinical service providers and to
expand access to healthcare, especially in underserved
communities," said Cheryl Miller,
Vice President, Retail Sales and Marketing, QuidelOrtho.
The joint system provides speed, accuracy, and security.
Sofia 2 provides dual modes for
walkaway and batch testing, with results available in just 3-15
minutes, depending on the assay. It also offers an expansive test
menu, including COVID-19, influenza A+B, Lyme disease, strep
throat, and RSV. The small instrument size and room-temperature
storage of kits make the test suitable for pharmacies, hospitals,
urgent care centers, and physician offices.
As the healthcare industry seeks innovative solutions to meet
the growing demand for convenient access to medical services, local
pharmacies are stepping up to play a crucial role in serving their
communities.
"Care delivery is changing, and consumers are seeking convenient
clinical services from pharmacists that normally they might have
received from their general practitioner," said Kevin Houlihan, President and CEO, ImageMover.
"With QuidelOrtho tests and Workflow Services, pharmacies can
confidently expand their care delivery methods with reliable tests
and simple workflows."
"The public health benefits of enabling pharmacists to become
go-to community healthcare professionals for consumers in need of
fast and convenient point-of-care testing and treatment are
enormous," Mr. Houlihan noted. "We are proud to offer a
comprehensive Workflow solution together with QuidelOrtho's
easy-to-use Sofia 2 assays for a
wide range of viruses and health conditions," he concluded.
