Microbiology laboratories play a key role in infectious disease management. At the same time, they face a growing list of challenges, including lab consolidation, increased regulations, decreasing reimbursements and a shortage of skilled staff. That task is complicated by inherent obstacles such as manual processes, the lack of integrated workflows, disparate IT systems and difficulties accessing data.

The BD Synapsys™ Informatics Solution enables laboratories to address these challenges and improve laboratory outcomes.

Streamlined. Smart. Scalable.

The BD Synapsys™ Informatics Solution is an efficient, streamlined software solution that helps laboratories to flexibly organize their workflow tasks for efficient and streamlined use of available resources.

Smart software tools help empower data-driven clinical and operational decision making, with flexibility to adapt and scale to changing lab needs, which may help to impact turnaround time, improve productivity and simplify compliance.

BD Synapsys™ Solution enables the benefits of informatics across one or more lab locations in your network, with anywhere, anytime, access to data. The solution helps the lab to easily add instrument capacity and capability to your lab without adding IT and LIS complexity. It is designed to support data security and privacy standards which may help labs comply with their organizational IT policies.

Challenges of bloodstream infection diagnostics

Monitoring, analyzing and communicating microbiology data in a timely manner can directly impact patient care. However, obtaining, organizing and communicating this information can be labor intensive.^2,3 In addition, multiple means to obtain blood culture-related data exist, but it can be difficult to access or synthesize this information to uncover insights.

It is estimated that 23% of clinical errors occur in the post-analytical phase of testing, in part due to improper validation of analytical data, failure in reporting and inappropriate follow up plans.^4,5

Access key insights across the bloodstream infection diagnostic pathway

The BD Informatics Solutions empower you with actionable information and analytics that can be used to drive continuous improvement of blood collection practices and laboratory workflows, as well as the ability to communicate results in a timely manner to key stakeholders.³

The combination of BD informatics with the BD instruments empowers you to:^1,3

Identify bottlenecks and sources of errors across the bloodstream infection diagnostic pathway
Improve confidence in your blood culture results
Automate specimen traceability and data analytics across your network of labs and collection sites
Impact key metrics such as turnaround time

Advanced technology

BD Synapsys™ Solution is an advanced browser-based application that enables access to lab workflow and data anytime, anywhere. BD Synapsys™ solution is designed to meet cyber-security and data privacy standards. The solution architecture allows for seamless integration with different IT environments and remote connectivity to maximize uptime.¹

Secure, seamless access and advanced connectivity

Today, laboratories struggle with multiple middleware solutions and interfaces to support their operations. Timely access to instrument status and microbiology data for the lab is critical in order to improve laboratory productivity and efficiency.

BD Synapsys™ Solution provides secure and scalable connectivity for BD BACTEC™ FX Blood Culture System, BD Kiestra™ Lab Automation Solution, BD™ Bruker MALDI BioTyper^®, BD MAX™ System, BD COR™ System and, in the U.S., BD Veritor™ Plus Point-of-Care Solution.

BD Synapsys™ Solution is scalable, allowing users to access the system from anywhere at any time through an intuitive, personalized user interface.

Streamlined workflow integration and management

BD Synapsys™ Solution enables the connection of blood culturing, lab automation and other diagnostic instruments to the same database, enabling an integrated view onto a patient’s microbiology testing.

Smart tools such as electronic worklists and the customizable workflow rules engine can help to streamline workflows to positively impact turnaround time and reduce manual processing tasks. The consistent workflow management using the solution will help streamline workflow, minimize potential for errors, improve quality of decision-making, and standardize results finalization.

Confident and timely decision making with on-demand actionable insights

Having the right information available when needed empowers your staff to make confident and timely decisions that may help support quality, impact turnaround time, and improve laboratory performance.

BD Synapsys™ Solution provides smart tools such as an integrated lab dashboard for monitoring the status and workload of all connected instruments, as well as on-demand actionable insights to track key lab metrics to empower continuous improvement.¹
