RALEIGH, N.C., May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HORIZON, a lab information management system (LIMS) software and services company, is working with clinical data exchange and business intelligence provider Halfpenny Technologies Inc. to speed COVID-19 testing and results delivery through Accumen Inc.'s COVID-19 Regional Test Capacity and Routing Network (the Network), launched May 6, 2020. The Network was created to streamline frontline testing efforts, automate electronic processing, and ensure timely and consistent delivery to all necessary reporting entities. HORIZON, a large LIMS provider in the public health, toxicology and clinical testing laboratory markets, enables labs to streamline and digitize their operations and ensure the accuracy of urgently important information (including COVID-19 test results). To date, HORIZON has helped process tens of thousands of COVID-19 tests across multiple commercial and public labs nationwide. "The virus situation has required all hands-on deck, so organizations and companies that typically have defined areas of responsibility are now blurring the lines and working in concert in ways outside of their normally individualized scopes," said HORIZON President Eric Dingfelder. "We have worked with our laboratories to ensure that systems are equipped and ready for COVID-19 testing. Now, in concert with Halfpenny, we are further accelerating the testing process." Accumen operates secure cloud-based networks across 48 states, integrating with lab and hospital information systems across the nation. "The networks we've created can manage clinical data exchange across a large percentage of the U.S. population," said Charles Halfpenny, Accumen's Chief Technology Officer and Halfpenny founder. "We deployed regional network hubs to facilitate COVID-19 test capacity tracing, order dispatching and results routing." HORIZON and Halfpenny are working with multiple organizations across the country sharing a common goal – the routing of orders to laboratories with capacity and rapid reporting of accurate tests results - to slow the spread of the virus and help Americans return to work safely. The Network is open to all testing entities, with no fee to join.
