Atellica Process Manager
Do more than control processes—optimize them

Atellica® Process Manager combines a centralized command center with built-in business analytics so labs can better control and optimize processes.

Standardize and optimize clinical operations across your laboratory through built-in analytics and business intelligence capabilities.
Identify and resolve problems that occur in the pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic stages with advanced performance metrics.
Increase workforce productivity with centralized oversight, including the ability to control all systems,* view reagent levels, and review testing exceptions from one screen.
Deliver transparent and predictable turnaround times through the implementation of rules and at-risk sample alerts.

Features & Benefits

Centralized Command Center

Walk less. Control more.

A centralized command center enables staff to reduce time spent running from system to system to manage testing operations. With an integrated and centralized command center, staff can perform most sample and test management functions in real time from their workspaces, or even from other remote locations.

Remotely control all systems,* view reagent levels, and review testing progress from one screen.
Implement test-specific turnaround time (TAT) rules and receive alerts for samples before they exceed your lab’s TAT targets.
Manage priority samples (e.g., STAT samples) and TAT exceptions to deliver predictable turnaround times.
View the real-time process status of automation, IT, and connected instruments.

Robust Analytics and Reporting

Connect data. Enhance performance.

By consolidating and analyzing data from disparate sources, Atellica Process Manager can help you measure, monitor, and improve your lab’s performance. With 15 out-of-the-box reports, you can gain deeper insight into workflow challenges and enhance performance.

Investigate and improve turnaround time.
Optimize staff, system, and reagent efficiency.
Easily access historical operating information.
Review processing workflow and solution analytics.

Sample processing reports

Sample processing reports aid in the investigation and identification of processing errors, sample integrity issues, and peaks in sample throughput. With insights from these reports, you can determine and implement protocols to reduce processing errors and improve turnaround times.

Problem samples

Identify frequency and nature of sample problems to determine trends/root causes.

Testing efficiency reports

Testing efficiency reports provide insight into testing volume, throughput, autovalidation, and reagent usage. These dynamic reports allow you to optimize reagent and consumable consumption, improve autovalidation rates, and visualize throughput trends.

Autovalidation

Review autovalidation averages, see time spent on manual review, or investigate on a test-by-test basis.

Workload efficiency reports

Workload efficiency reports can help you determine the most effective use of automation modules, staff, and systems. With dynamic drill-down data per site, zone, instrument, and staff member, you can identify inefficiencies and implement plans to enhance efficiency.

Alert history

View resolved alerts, including date, type, severity, system, and notes.

Turnaround time reports

Turnaround time reports provide the information you need to investigate specific tests that didn’t meet TAT targets. With details about these tests per system, patient, location, date, and more, you can determine and mitigate the issues that are affecting time to result.

Turnaround time exceptions

Investigate tests that didn’t meet TAT targets by system, patient location, date, and test priority.

"The Command Center was built through a partnership between Siemens Healthineers and the Pardini Group. This is an innovative and intelligent system that is vital to allow you to anticipate unexpected events and act quickly to avoid or resolve them."

João Alvarenga

CIO and CDO
Pardini Group

"The throughput report highlighted the inefficiency of running certain tests on duplicate systems. With this knowledge, we rebalanced system workload and implemented batch testing protocols, decreasing hands-on time and reagent, QC, and calibrator waste. These changes resulted in an annual consumable savings of $47,000, while also saving valuable technician time."
