Altus Technology Group - Project Experience
At Altus we have a wide variety of industry experience including the financial,
insurance, retail, communications, and medical industry. This experience includes
fortune 100 companies to those in the small business sector. We have experience
in the contemporary .NET technologies including C#, VB, and C++ to COBOL and JCL
with regards to legacy mainframe systems.
Our experience in the medical industry includes the HL7 document convention, ASTM
protocol, and laboratory diagnostic workflow process in a Laboratory Information
System (LIS/LIMS) enviornment. We have knowledge of the diagnostic
laboratory environment utilizing the ASTM protocol to communicate with lab instruments,
and HL7 in the interchange of diagnostic results and test ordering within a laboratory/clinic
network.
Following are some of our projects:

Designed, coded, and implemented a new LIS/LIMS (Laboratory Information System) from
the ground up. LIS/LIMS provides workflow, imaging, billing, and diagnostic management for
entire process from point-of-care to diagnostic report delivery for clinics and patients in Texas and 43
US States. System is used for diagnosing and delivering
Anatomical Pathology, Cytology, Clinical STD,
and Chemistry results.
LIS/LIMS client application is coded in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 utilizing C# .NET,
VB .NET and Visual Studio 6.0 C++. Database is implemented using Microsoft
SQL Server 2005. Web Site for ordering tests, patient management, and report
delivery is coded in ASP.NET utilizing C# and VB languages. Extensive use
of Adobe AcroLib Imaging Library for PDF generation, printing, and manipulation for maintaining a portable graphic format for Web report delivery,
as well as internal document imaging as related to workflow. LIS interface with laboratory instruments
is accomplished by C# applications that utilize bidirectional ASTM protocol.
- Extensive use of ASTM protocol and IP/Serial interface for interfacing laboratory
instruments with LIS/LIMS. Analyzer types include Digene, Aptima, Focal Point, Vitros 5,1, Vitros
ECiQ, Sysmex 2000i, Sysmex 1000i, AMAX Destiny, Vitek, and ISTAT portable analyzer.
Designed and coded reusable components around the ASTM protocol that can support
a variety of laboratory instrument manufacturers.
- Utilized ASP.NET Web Services for communication with remote Pathology Laboratory
client application. Used Web Services to implement a component called Express
Reports that automatically delivers diagnostic reports to the laboratory clinic network.
- Interfaced reference laboratories by writing applications and components using HL7
format. Delivered laboratory orders via HL7 interface, and accepted HL7 documents
for generating reports and updating LIS information.
- Designed, coded, and implemented Web Site using ASP.NET
2.0 and VB .NET and C# .NET. Web Site is used for management of patients,
test ordering, supply orders, result delivery, and presentation of monthly statistical
reports. Web is tightly coupled with the client SQL Server database.
- Designed and coded Histology client application used in remote location by several
Pathologists for managing workflow and diagnosing cases. This application
is tighlty coupled with the main client application via extensive use of Web Services.
Utilized VBA and Microsoft Word to create patient reports for the Histology application.
- Integrated barcode scanning and printing technology throughout the application.
Once specimen is received in laboratory it is tracked and processed via the attached
128C barcode label.
