Although the authors feel the automation of CTR reporting is desirable, the results of the study show the inadequacy of EMR systems for critical test result management (CTRM). Technology-based CTRM was first introduced by Vocada, Inc., and its Veriphy™ solution remains the industry leader, although other companies now have products in development. (PRWeb Jul 30, 2007)
