Newborn screening trial success

Integrated Software Solutions Ltd, the specialist laboratory management software developer, today announces the successful completion of a trial implementation of its OMNI-Lab Newborn Screening management suite at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge. OMNI-Lab is being used to manage the screening of bloodspots, taken by heelprick from thousands of newborn infants born each year in East Anglia. The tests are carried out either to exclude five serious diseases of infancy, or alert paediatricians to the need for further testing and/or possible treatment.
