The first, in November 2008, brought the Sunquest ICE (Integrated Clinical Environment) solution set to the company’s portfolio. ICE enables communication with all installed Patient administration systems (PASs), Laboratory information management systems (LIMSs) and RISs. Both product suites facilitate high levels of connectivity between hospitals and community physicians and patients. In the United Kingdom, ICE is used in over 90 acute national Trusts to meet ordering and reporting requirements. Sunquest Information Systems Inc. was founded in 1979, as a privately owned company by pathologist Dr. Sidney Goldblatt. In June 1996, the company began publicly trading on NASDAQ as SUNQ and also acquired Antrim, a commercial laboratory and financial information system supplier. Sunquest itself was acquired in 2001 by UK-based public company Misys plc, and became the Hospital Systems Division of Misys Healthcare. In October 2007, the diagnostic information portion of the Misys business was spun off and acquired by Vista Equity Partners of San Francisco. Upon re-emerging as a privately held, independent business, Sunquest took its original name and was thus immediately recognized in the diagnostic laboratory market space based on its long-term success and established reputation. In 2012, Sunquest was acquired by Roper Technologies. The Five Rights of Laboratory Testing is a concept introduced in 2008 by Sunquest Information Systems that emphasizes the importance of the role that diagnostic laboratories play in patient safety. It shares synergies with the five rights of medication administration, which care providers are taught to ensure patient safety when giving a patient drugs in a healthcare setting. The Five Rights of Laboratory Testing can also be tied to the Patient’s Bill of Rights. The Five Rights of Laboratory Testing says that patients have the right to know that they are having the right test performed, that the test being performed is meant for them (they are the right patient), it is being performed at the right time and for the right reasons (or indicators) and ultimately that those tests provide an accurate diagnosis upon which the patient and care team can make informed make therapeutic decisions. Right test: Assurance that the test being performed is the one that the physician requested as part of the treatment plan. Right patient: Busy hospitals and emergency departments can mistake patient identity, usually due to manual processes that are executed - or bypassed - under stressful conditions. Technology solutions have proven to provide safeguards that prevent identification errors. Right time: Certain elements must be tested at an exact time in order to make effective diagnostic and treatment decisions, such as altering drug dosage amounts.
