The practices have more control over the quality, the turnaround time, and the relationships with their providers.”įor Conley, DiIorio, and the 17 pathologists that make up the core of ECPC, it’s been quite a year. With this arrangement, the POLs gain an advantage by keeping everything close and in-house. “Our plan is to continue to build out the client base, and using LigoLab will help us accomplish this. “We offer turnkey solutions to practices that see the potential to improve clinical turnaround times and capture additional revenue streams with the addition of an on-site pathology laboratory,” said Conley. The next two clients were Starling Physicians (Rocky Hill, Connecticut) and Connecticut Gastroenterology Associates (Bloomfield, CT), two practices that took advantage of ECPC’s Physician Office Lab Management services (POLs). “We then continued on with planning for the implementation of our next two clients.” “Soon after stabilizing the operation at Harrington Hospital, we switched to supporting them in a remote fashion because of the pandemic,” said Conley. The first live client was Harrington Hospital in Southbridge, Massachusetts.
PATHOLOGY CONSULTANTS PROFESSIONAL
Rebecca was heavily involved in the clinical workflow and the training of our staff, and I was pretty much an IT party of one,” recalled Conley, a seasoned IT professional who is accustomed to being very hands-on, be it by managing providers, configuring and monitoring report distribution, standing up new clients, or building out the platform.Ĭonley, Dilorio, and LigoLab Implementations Director Petros Martirosian next charted a course for ECPC to go live in early March 2020. “It was just she and I against the world. With LigoLab LIS serving as the centerpiece of change, Conley and Rebecca Dilorio, who at the time was a lead PA and is currently ECPC’s newly appointed Executive Director, set out on the path to implementation. “We set out to change that because we knew we had to get comfortable with enhancing our technology to stand apart as our own business entity,” she said. With that movement and the practice size growing, it necessitated the implementation of a unified communication and document sharing platform. We didn’t even have our own electronic office suite and email,” said Conley, referencing the fact that ECPC’s many pathologists were credentialed to work in multiple facilities and hospitals and were accustomed to moving from one facility to the next on any given day. “When I joined ECPC two years ago, we didn’t have our own platforms.
PATHOLOGY CONSULTANTS UPGRADE
It was when operations expanded to Harrington Hospital that the group recognized an upgrade in technology and infrastructure was required in order to continue to support its many partnerships and to pursue new business opportunities. Up to this point, ECPC had not had the need for their own, practice-owned LIS while providing diagnostic and laboratory management services for several community hospitals, endoscopy centers, and physician office laboratories in Connecticut and Massachusetts as those locations had their own solutions in place. Considering the functionality and the cost, it just made sense.” We quickly decided to move forward with LigoLab. When comparing the features and functionality between LigoLab and the two other vendors we were considering, LigoLab blew them out of the water.
“They loved how we had the ability to customize our report templates - incorporating our photomicrographs, adding graphics, textual effects based on clinical diagnosis, and practice/client branding. “Another big selling point for us was that LigoLab could be set up in the cloud and easily integrate with our interface engine.”Įven more important, Conley said the pathologists loved it. There is also a lot of flexibility in the system design,” said Conley. “For me, being an IT person, I thought the platform was intuitive, easy to understand and navigate. “We quickly negotiated and executed our contract in early January, and we were live by March of 2020.”įor Conley and the group, that uneasy feeling had been replaced by excitement knowing that they now had a critical piece in place to move forward with their progressive business plan. We were really impressed with what we saw,” said Conley.
PATHOLOGY CONSULTANTS SOFTWARE
“It was right before the holidays and, surprisingly, Suren immediately responded and he and his team provided us with a couple of software demonstrations. That prompted Conley to reach out and begin discussions with LigoLab’s CEO Suren Avunjian.
