Compliance Software Solutions
Corp. (CSSC) has completed the monumental
task of redesigning our core software application.
The Microbiology Information Management System (MIMS)
is now available for licensing and implementation.
We have met, and exceeded our system design goals and requirements.
The MIMS highlights include:
- Increased user productivity by making the application
tasks easier to access and utilize. The newly designed MIMS segregates common
system tasks in their own application graphical user interface (GUI) within
the MIMS application taskbar / suite. Each user will only be able to access the
individual application GUI he or she needs to, or is granted permission to,
in order to accomplish their assigned tasks.
- To enhance the user experience we have improved data management,
data entry, and data retrieval methods. Each of the application GUIs in the suite,
System Configuration, Environmental Processing, Reporting, and Audit have a new search
component, data record creation wizards, and data entry default functions.
- To improve the data retrieval methods we have increased
the flexibility of the Reporting application function. The user is now able to
use a “report creation wizard” to select the graphical representation of the data
(e.g. line, bar, pie), the date range for the report,
and the data fields to search within the report (e.g. personnel, product lot,
result condition, etc.). Once a report is created, the user is able to save
the created report as a “template” for future data retrieval.
- The audit trail has been expanded, making the
traceable history of a database record easier to follow and interpret.
The audit records now include the transaction information for the record
in question and highlight the field(s) which was modified during the
data record update.
- We have dramatically improved system performance
by optimizing the data processing methods. All of the data processes
are now performed on the server component of the application, in order
to utilize the superior resources available on the server hardware.
- To increase the scope of the system's data management
capabilities we have, and are continuing to develop “interfaces” to a host
of data collection devices, in order to enable the automatic transfer of
data into the system database for analysis, reporting, etc. CSSC has
developed the MIMS Link™, a device that will readily connect to these
data collection instruments. The data collection devices include,
but are not limited to: viable air samplers, particle counters,
microbiological identification systems (e.g. Phoenix™), etc.
The data collected by these instruments would have the same data
integrity as the records input into the system “manually”,
including result analysis, audit trail, reporting, etc.
CSSC will continuously improve the functionality
of the MIMS to meet the ever-expanding needs of the environmental monitoring
and quality control departments of the regulated health care industry.
We value our users input, recommendations, requests, and suggestions.
These, in addition to released industry standards help CSSC keep the
MIMS current with the growing requirements for environmental monitoring.
