Workflow

1

The process is initiated by inputting qPCR or antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) output files. If required, the PQRS platform can be customized to handle any other kind of input data as well.

2

Manual QC is carried out based on the positive and negative controls available in the input file.

3

Then, a report, based on a configurable template is compiled and generated.

4

Finally, the report is made available to the end user as a PDF, following quick review process by a Senior Scientist.

5

All of this is done within 2 minutes

Three Key Benefits of our Fully Customizable Reports:

01

Clinician-approved format

We incorporate client-specific requirements into the qPCR report through frequent interactions with the clinician team.

02

Combined qPCR and AST reporting

The end report captures the qPCR-identified pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes, as well as antibiotic susceptibility test results, offering insights on infectious pathogens as well as AST status.

03

Broad array of medication options

We incorporate client-specific requirements into the qPCR report through frequent interactions with the clinician team.

Client-Specific Customizations and Solutions

PQRS is highly amenable to various customizations, and Strands’ team can easily customize the report template and the workflow to suit the needs of the client best.

Developing a template that works for our client, such as adding:

Client Logo
Laboratory Signatureo
Disclaimers
Methods Section

Modifying our curated reference knowledge base, catering specifically to the client’s panel manifest and updated treatment guidelines.

Including reporting on the antibiotic susceptibility test. In essence, if the input file contains the antibiotic susceptibility profile for specific pathogens, our PQRS solution, empowered by the curated KB, generates reports with optimized medication choices.

Enabling panel-specific updates to PQRS, i.e., ensuring that all the pathogens/ AMR genes in the client’s panel of interest are covered in the reporting solution and can be regularly updated

Addition of audit logs to easily track the time when reports are created and sign-offs are completed.

Incorporate a provision for Subject Matter Expert sign-off in addition to the standard approvals

Offering continued support to the client’s team and promptly addressing any issues and additional feature requests.

Features We Offer

Reference Databases

The PQRS platform is equipped with a curated infectious-disease knowledge base database that serves as the foundation for compiling reports.
These KBs can also be customized as per client preferences.
Strand’s Curation Scientists and Reviewers built this foundational database by gathering information from several well-known publicly available reference databases for infectious disease reporting, including:

Compliances

Our privacy and security protocols ensure patient data remains confidential as per HIPPA guidelines.
whenever someone uses our API the data they receive is HL7 compliant

Frequently Asked Questions

Our PQRS solution has been developed so that it can ingest and provide reports for a plethora of infectious disease panels, adapting to accommodate any nuances or special sections that may be required, making the report meaningful to that specific panel.
We are exploring PQRS solutions for UTI infectious panels, women’s health panels, respiratory pathogen panels, and even some as specific as wound healing and nail wound panels. If required, we can also create a custom-built solution for non-infectious diseases, creating tailor-made sections pertaining to that specific panel.

At Strand, we understand that a one-size-fits-all solution doesn’t always work, and so PQRS was built as an evolving tool with modularity such that each component can be customized and adapted to your needs.

Our default customization in the ‘out-of-the-box’ includes adding lab branding such as logos, CAP and CLIA numbers, lab directors' names, and such, as well as sections for information about the methodology used, organisms and genes tested, limitations of the test, and disclaimers.

For more curated customization, sections specific to your panel can be added. In previous cases, we have included the ability to take in other input files, such as antibiotic susceptibility testing files, and have added sections for drug-specific dosage recommendations, antimicrobial resistance, and profiles of the pathogens found.

PQRS was built with exposed APIs so that it can be easily incorporated into existing LIMS. It was also developed with the flexibility to provide the final report in different forms. If your LIMS already has a reporting solution, rather than the default PDF, the output can be converted to a JSON file that will integrate seamlessly into your pre-existing setup.

Our team can adjust the knowledge base to meet the requirements of your panel by augmenting the content and modifying data structures. We have extensive experience in harmonizing and curating databases, in a wide range of fields, including disease datasets from GEO and RWD and so can easily tweak the knowledge base to fit your needs.

PQRS is able to take any type of PCR output data to be added to the report. We currently support CSV and Excel files, and can add other data types, as required by your system’s setup. Beyond that, if you would like to include additional information to the report from different data sources, that can be easily accommodated. We recently incorporated Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing Reports as an input, which gave the report another dimension, enabling their clinicians to make better informed decisions.

Data privacy is a core tenet of the work carried out at Strand. We can offer different privacy solutions based on your data and how you would like to store it.

If you would prefer to store the data on your side, you can simply push the required data to us, upon which we will generate the report and then delete the data itself.
If you would rather store the data on our side, we can encrypt it both during transit and in our databases so that it remains secure.

PQRS is built to be role-based, so only users with specific roles will be granted access to it, which can be varied based on the role.
