In-office test results, into MEDENT.

Quick answer

Yes. Catenix collects each result from your in-office analyzers, checks it against quality control and the right patient, and sends it into MEDENT through MEDENT's lab results interface. MEDENT says it already runs two-way lab interfaces with more than 260 hospitals, lab companies and laboratory systems. A connection from Catenix is a new interface: your practice requests it on MEDENT's interface request form, and MEDENT's interoperability department reviews it, quotes it and builds it with you.

Most practices on MEDENT already get send-out results electronically from their reference lab or hospital. The tests run in the office are the gap: glucose, HbA1c, lipids, urine dipsticks, CBCs, rapid strep and flu. Those values are usually read off the analyzer and typed into the chart by whoever ran the test.

Catenix closes that gap. It talks to the analyzers on the bench, keeps the quality-control record an inspector asks for, and hands MEDENT a finished, checked result through the same kind of lab results interface MEDENT uses with outside labs.

What your practice asks MEDENT for

The connection is set up with your practice and MEDENT's interface team. These are the steps MEDENT's own public pages describe, in order.

1. Fill in MEDENT's Request an Interface form, naming Catenix as the vendor. MEDENT asks for a practice contact, a vendor contact and your MEDENT account number, and recommends sending the form before you sign with any third party.
2. MEDENT's interoperability department reviews the request. After discovery and a check of the secure connection, MEDENT issues a quote. Programming starts once the practice returns the signed quote and pays the initial development fees.
3. Set up your in-house tests in MEDENT. MEDENT's lab setup guide says labs collected and resulted in-house need a Lab Company, Lab Test and Lab Profile set up.
4. We map your analyzer tests to those MEDENT tests and test the feed with you and MEDENT before go-live.

For your IT or interface contact

MEDENT's public pages describe its lab connections as bidirectional interfaces and do not publish a message specification, so the exact format is agreed with MEDENT during discovery. Catenix produces an HL7 v2 observation result (ORU^R01) with LOINC codes where your tests have them, the ordering provider, the performing location and abnormal flags. Where demographics in a result do not match a MEDENT patient, MEDENT's documentation says the result goes to its Lab Results Exception Holding Tank (Account Not Found) for the office to resolve, so nothing files against the wrong chart.

On the analyzer side, Catenix captures results over HL7, POCT1-A2, ASTM or the device's own format. See the device library for how individual analyzers connect, and lab analyzer to EHR for orders, quality-control holds and the audit trail.

Catenix sends results through the standard lab results interfaces that the systems named on this page publish or offer, set up with each practice and the vendor. Catenix has no certified, tested or formal arrangement with MEDENT, and naming MEDENT here does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by it. Product and company names are the trademarks of their respective owners and are used for identification only. What connects in your setting is confirmed during implementation. This page describes connectivity and data handling only and is not clinical advice.
