bioMerieux Myla microbiology laboratory informatics solution

Myla is a middleware solution that is claimed to improve connectivity, laboratory workflow and information management in microbiology laboratories.

Part of bioMérieux’s FMLA solutions and services, Myla is an intelligent browser-based application that consolidates and manages microbiology data generated from a variety of sources and converts these data into actionable information for treatment decisions. Designed to transform the way that laboratory managers and technicians work, Myla recaptures time spent on information retrieval and reporting activities through a simple dashboard-based user interface that provides full control of lab workflow.

Myla is claimed to improve operational efficiency and make the most relevant information readily available to clinicians so they can take action rapidly.

The Myla software solution will offer: eich connectivity between bioMérieux instruments, other instruments, the laboratory information system and eventually other hospital information systems. It will also enable faster time to results with real-time collection, consolidation and delivery of clinically relevant test results.

The improved information management between automated systems will eliminate redundant data entry and minimise potential errors.

Myla will include a dashboard for laboratory managers and technicians, which provides a comprehensive view of all testing activities in the lab. It will thus be possible to adjust resources to anticipate bottlenecks and improve efficiency. The software will also send real-time alerts for critical lab information, for example increasing bacterial resistance trends, so that hospitals can immediately implement specific prevention and control actions.

Laboratory managers will have the flexibility to customise their dashboard to show information such as quality indicators and workflow metrics for continuous operational improvement. Myla will be web enabled, making the software easy to deploy and facilitating access to information from multiple remote sites.
