The purpose for obtaining the Remote Automated Laboratory Systems (RALS) software technology is to connect multiple devices to one data manager. The RALS software enables review and release of patient results to the LIS directly from each unit. It allows the ability to manage, update, review and troubleshoot quality control results, operator and device issues remotely.
The Remote Automated Laboratory Systems (RALS) Software Technology System (STS) License Agreement is part of the point of care testing connectivity software that is used to post patient test results to the electronic patient record (VistA/CPRS). This software allows the end user to monitor tests done at the point of care and to meet numerous accreditation requirements for laboratory tests performed at the VA North Texas Health Care System, located at 4500 South Lancaster Road, Dallas, TX 75216.
