CALVERTON, N.Y., March 31, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- To help
support the nation's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, SSE
Technologies has developed Golden Test, a patient tracking and data
validation application for remote testing facilities using
TracerPlus, a mobile application development software created by
Long Island-based Portable
Technology Solutions (PTS).
Golden Test is a HIPAA-compliant application that's designed to
assist medical professionals with patient data entry, check-in, and
completion of a screening questionnaire based on CDC guidelines. It
allows healthcare providers to scan a patient's drivers license
through the car window, minimizing patient-to-caregiver contact and
increasing throughput speed.
"My daughter recently spent some time with a friend that tested
positive for COVID-19," said Adam
Egert, partner of SSE Technologies. "When she developed a
low-grade fever and chills, we decided to visit a drive-up testing
facility that had just opened up that day. What we experienced was
not up to hospital standards. While they did their best to limit
patient-to-caregiver contact, patient registration was still
paper-based, delaying the input process and increasing the chance
of exposure. It was pretty obvious that we could improve the
process with barcode readers. Golden Test was developed to help
those healthcare professionals out there protecting and taking care
of us with a safer and more efficient patient registration process
and test sample tracking."
In addition to patient registration, the Golden Test application
has the ability to track the COVID-19 testing process from
administration and collection to transportation and result, while
providing printable test tube labels and scannable barcodes that
can be used for patient retrieval and data entry by laboratory
information management systems (LIMS). The app also allows
healthcare professionals to print QR mobile labels for patients
that allow them to scan and retrieve their results, what to do in
the case of positive or negative results and any other pertinent
information from the screening facility.
Golden Test is based on TracerPlus and can be run on iOS,
Android and Windows mobile phones, laptops and data collection
terminals. It's scalable to any number of needed devices and
available with limited to no network connectivity.
"No one is immune to the effects COVID-19 has on our communities,"
said Brad Horn, CEO and Co-Founder
of PTS. "We're all adapting to this constantly evolving situation
and PTS is committed to supporting our customers and partners,
especially those directly involved with bringing this unprecedented
crisis to an end."
