Extending and servicing a middleware's electronic billing procedure

The middleware used by the customer includes a component for the electronic billing of consumables employed in clinical diagnostic tests. Compiling all reagents consumed within a user-defined period, the component transmits these reports to the consumables' provider for billing purposes. The project centers on servicing the component as well as developing new functionalities. On one hand, these include extending the number of test types supported by hematological and molecular diagnostics as well as automatic immunological test series. In addition to that, configuration options are extended to increase overall adaptability to individual customer needs. These options include the handling of quality control and patient results, how to deal with tests reruns and repeats as well as the types of supported consumables and their billing.
