Point-of-care results, filed in Point and Click.

Run the test at the student health center and the result lands in Point and Click as a structured value against the right student. Nothing read off a screen, nothing typed twice, no printout walked to the front desk.

Point and Click Solutions provides the Point and Click EHR, an electronic health record (EHR) built for the campus care ecosystem: student health, counseling, athletics, disability services and occupational health on one connected system. The company states it serves more than 350 university sites and 10,000 users, and lists interfaces to lab information systems and lab machines, EKG machines and student health pharmacy systems among its capabilities. The rapid tests run at the health center are what often stays on paper. That is the manual step in between.

Two things push a college health service to connect its analyzers. The first is volume and timing: respiratory season, orientation physicals and athletics screening arrive in waves, and a small clinical team running waived strep, flu, glucose and urinalysis tests cannot key every result into the chart while the waiting room fills. The second is the record: recordkeeping obligations under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA, 42 CFR Part 493) depend on test complexity, the manufacturer's instructions, state rules and any accreditation, and a result that arrives in the chart with the operator, device and quality-control status attached is the simplest way to meet whichever apply.

Catenix sits between your analyzers and Point and Click. A gateway at the health center, or a staff phone running Pocket Gateway, captures each result the moment it is produced, over HL7, POCT1-A2, ASTM or the device's own format. The result is matched to the right student and operator, kept separate from quality-control runs, and forwarded to Point and Click through a structured result feed, commonly HL7 v2, or a supported interface, of the kind Point and Click describes for lab information systems and lab machines. The Point and Click side is set up with the vendor and campus IT.

How it works

From bench to filed result.

01
Capture
The Catenix gateway takes each result from the analyser electronically, over the protocol the device speaks, with no re-typing.
02
Match
The result attaches to the right patient and the named operator, and quality-control runs are kept separate from patient results automatically.
03
Forward
The finished, traceable result is delivered to Point and Click through a structured result feed, commonly HL7 v2, or a supported interface, of the kind Point and Click describes for lab information systems and lab machines.
04
File
It arrives as a structured value in the record your clinicians already work from, ready for their review and sign-off.

Questions, answered

Before you ask.

How do point-of-care results reach Point and Click?

A result captured at the health center is turned into a structured message and delivered to Point and Click through a structured result feed, commonly HL7 v2, or a supported interface. Point and Click lists interfaces to lab information systems and lab machines among its EHR capabilities, and the interface on its side is configured with the vendor and the campus IT team. Catenix is designed to connect over open standards, so the value that was measured is the value filed against the right student, with the operator and device attached.

Is Catenix integrated with Point and Click?

Catenix is designed and ready to connect to Point and Click over the standards it accepts. That describes connectivity built to open standards, not an affiliation with or endorsement by Point and Click Solutions. Exactly what flows, and how, is confirmed with your health service during implementation.

Our campus runs devices from several manufacturers across the health center and athletics. Do we need an interface for each?

No. One Catenix gateway captures from every analyzer on site, whatever protocol each device speaks, and presents one structured result feed to Point and Click. A second clinic, an athletics facility or a satellite campus adds a gateway, or a staff phone running Pocket Gateway, and reports into the same account, so one coordinator oversees devices, operators and quality control across the whole campus from a single screen. Modules switch on per site and there are no per-test fees.

Catenix is designed and ready to connect to the systems named on this page over open standards. That wording is deliberate: it describes connectivity built to published interfaces, not a claim of affiliation with, endorsement by, or certification from any named vendor. 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.
