High Quality Lab Tests Solutions by Medcillary
Medcillary helps you maximize patient care with the most up to date testing available.
Medical Laboratory science provides clues that are key in the diagnosis and treatment of disease or injury, and laboratory professionals are the detectives of the healthcare world. They provide clues that are key in the diagnosis and treatment of disease or injury and assist in the maintenance of healthy lifestyles.
Biological samples to detect and quantify the presence of toxins or drugs in the body.
Our Cancer Genomics testing uses Next-Generation Sequencing machines. The highest standard in the Genomics Industry. Cancer Genomics testing measures your risk level of what types of cancers your genetic makeup exposes you too. Over 37 Gene mutations are tested, which detect hereditary cancers, such as Breast, Ovarian, Prostate, Hematologic, etc. Physicians use this test to put together a long-term preventative plan due to your genetic mutation results. This will help reduce the patient's risk of being exposed to certain types of cancers the individual is at risk for. This is a minimally invasive test as it is collected via an oral swab collection device. Genomics testing is some of the most informative testing physicians and patients have access to in today's diagnostic market.
We perform PCR testing for Covid-19. PCR is the most accurate form of testing in the industry. It is used to precisely analyze the genetic material of pathogens and gives accurate and fast results back to providers to help treat the patient.
Our turnaround is 12-24 hours once the samples is received at the lab. Results are available back to physicians via our cloud-based portal. We also can send results directly to the patient.
Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing allows clinicians to better understand how their patients will respond to certain medications. With PGx testing, it’s possible to tailor medication plans to a patient’s specific genetic makeup. This can lead to reduced medical costs for patients and providers, safer medication plans, and more efficient drug efficacy.
Pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing can reveal if a person is a fast, normal, or slow metabolizer. A person’s metabolism changes the way their body responds to medication, including:
· Toxicity
Excessive amounts of the drug accumulate in the bloodstream, resulting in ADRs.
· Lack of Efficacy
The bloodstream cannot absorb enough of the drug to achieve a therapeutic effect.
· Hypersensitivity
Normal amounts of the drug enter the bloodstream, but even this is enough to trigger severe reactions in people with hypersensitivity to the medication.
BENEFITS OF PHARMACOGENETIC TESTING:
Identify which drug may be most effective before treatment starts - PGx testing can help clinicians choose the most effective drug for each patient, minimize the risk of adverse reactions, and reduce hospitalizations.
Reduce the risk of adverse events related to certain drugs - PGx testing can assess a patient’s risk for adverse drug reactions before they take the medication which can improve patient safety and minimize costs for healthcare facilities.
Adjust and optimize the dose of current medications - PGx testing can help clinicians predict the appropriate dose of medication for their patient. This allows them to create more personalized medication plans to maximize efficacy and reduce pharmacy costs.
Improved Patient Care - PGx test results become part of a patient’s medical record, allowing physicians to make more informed decisions when prescribing medications for future medical issues.
PGx testing is a genetic swab test with an expected turnaround time of two to four weeks.
Our Respiratory Pathogen Panel (RPP) testing quickly identifies pathogens and detects potential antibiotic resistance, so effective treatment can begin sooner. Acute respiratory infection is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in young, geriatric and immunocompromised patients. Co-infection is also high within these populations and access to advanced technology is essential to detect multiple pathogens at once. False negative test results can lead to a delayed diagnosis and poor clinical outcomes.
Accurate diagnosis within 24-48 hours with real-time PCR for pathogen identification and detection of antibiotic resistance
· RT - PCR, is the most accurate form of testing in the industry for Respiratory testing. It is used to precisely analyze the genetic material of pathogens and gives accurate and fast results back to providers to help treat the patient
· Rapid and accurate solution eliminates guesswork in diagnosing and treating upper respiratory infections.
· Provides a more definitive diagnosis than Point of Care antigen assays
· Helps improve clinical confidence and decrease patient risks
· Detects polymicrobial infections
· Unaffected by concurrent antibiotic use
· Identifies potential antibiotic resistance
· Aids in quick clinical decision-making
· Reduces false negative results
· Aids in antibiotic stewardship
· Reduces potential unnecessary drug exposure and adverse events
· More accurate than conventional culture
Respiratory Pathogen Panel testing is collected via a nasopharyngeal swab. Physicians and a patients can expect results within 24-48 hours from when the sample arrives at the lab.
We offer both Urine Toxicology and Oral Fluid Toxicology. We use LC/MS machines at our lab, giving our physicians accurate results with the highest standard of testing available in the industry. Our Toxicology testing helps physicians monitor medications being prescribed with both qualitative and quantitative results. We have added rule based logic and drug testing history to our results, making our results more organized and more efficient to read for physicians working with our lab. We have certified Toxicologists on staff that are available for any questions our physicians may have.
Why Use Toxicology?
· Making sure medications being prescribed are working
· Medication monitoring/management
· Preventing accidental overdose or addiction to controlled substances being prescribed
· See how much of the drug you are prescribing your patients are taking (quantitative results)
· Preventing harmful drug to drug interactions the patient may be taking
· Check for community abused drugs your patients may be taking in congruence with medications being prescribed
· Prevent drug diversion
Our Urinary Tract Infection testing uses Real-Time PCR. This is a more accurate test than previous methods in the industry. With PCR machines we can yield a faster result turnaround time for results so physicians can begin treating patients faster. With 26+ organisms that can be detected, this test will help physicians identify if you have a UTI. Older patients using controlled substances for a longer period are also at a higher risk than the average person. The result of this test helps physicians prescribe the correct medication for what UTI the patient is showing positive for.
