Successful trade fair during the pandemic – review DMEA 2021

The first virtual DMEA fair took place in June. With a digital trade fair presence including an interactive trade fair tour, Medat answered the trade fair participants’ questions about our laboratory information system. The special topics we offer such as order entry, human genetics and system security (KRITIS) have met with great demand. For everyone who would like to experience the program again: all program items are available on demand for ticket holders until September 12th.

We would like to thank all interested participants and the many interesting conversations!

After a purely digital trade fair, we look forward to being there for you again next year. Because: the date for the next DMEA is already known. The fair will take place in Berlin from April 26th to 28th, 2022.

Medat is also represented at other trade fairs this year:
At the Euromedlab in Munich (November 28th – December 2nd, 2021) and at KMIS in Berlin (December 2nd – 4th, 2021).

You will find more information about the trade fairs on our website soon.

Medat takes position

Managing Director Stefan Henkelmann is pleased about the start of the completely new website:

“Both our customers and our employees as well as new customers should have the opportunity on the new homepage to find out more about Medat’s laboratory information system. The various modules such as order entry, blood depot or human genetics as well as the advantages of the LIS are presented.

We will publish further news articles on the homepage at regular intervals. One post includes, for example, the correct handling of wearing a face mask.

In addition, there will be a newsletter every three months which will provide information on current topics.

The first newsletter is expected to appear at the end of June 2020.

The new homepage was designed and implemented by the marketing experts at ST Design.

In the near future there will be the Medat Academy. Both Medat employees and external employees will be able to access the online academy.

The start will be the first quarter of 2021.

Managing Director of ST Design and Lecturer for Online Marketing Sascha Tominschek explains the concept behind the new look:

“With the realignment of Medat, the corporate identity has been revised in a conceptually innovative way.

We are pleased to present you the new website as the first unit of this overall concept.

The Medat website sets new standards in the area of ​​design and user guidance. It makes the versatile laboratory information system tangible and transparent.

The profitability of the individual modules is broken down in simple steps for the management level, the laboratory doctors and IT.

Furthermore, we work in close cooperation with the specialists from Medat to ensure that customers can use the software even more easily and intuitively. “

Changeover of VAT from 01.07.2020 – Important customer information

We have discussed the subject of “sales tax” internally and can provide you with a solution for private billing 1.7.2020 (ASCII, XML) if required. This consists of an update and an additional table to be maintained by your company, in which the information relevant for versions is stored in five columns (example see below). The VAT must be entered here in the cost unit. We need an own cost unit.
This definition table will also be used for the collective invoice. In all probability, we will be able to provide an update with a solution in mid-July at the earliest. The collective invoice program will use the same table for versioning the VAT rates. Please determine, independently of us, the cost units you are using, which are generated with a VAT rate and are used for VAT-charged invoices (collective, private invoices). If you do not have this yet, please create the cost units with us. There should be an entry in your table for each cost unit (analogous to the last three sample lines).

In the current program versions for 3.7, it will not yet be possible to mix different tax rates (19%, 16%) on one invoice. Therefore, the relevant billing periods should be selected accordingly if this condition occurs. The respective program will check for this condition and should terminate with a message if such a condition occurs.

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the offsetting of VAT occurs most frequently in the collective invoice. There, however, the date is printed appropriately delimited anyway. Only latecomers in billing (subsequent change from “private” to “collective bill) can cause problems here and force a separate bill after the transition.

This means: You must always enter “07/01/2020” for future collective invoices with the “from date”.
Latecomers from previous quarters must then be billed separately, for example through “01/01/2020 – 06/30/2020”.

Private orders that have to be charged with VAT are usually individual orders that do not result in any excess within an invoice. Private invoices with different tax rates (based on the time of acceptance or import) processed within a billing run (XML private billing: “Ticket”) are no problem and should be appropriately assigned to the versioning.
If the order data of the same private invoice requires different tax rate versions, the program will issue a warning (XML private billing: red cross at the end of the ticket line), name the patient with errors in the error text, exclude them from the current billing, but generally continue the billing.

The patient must then be treated separately over a time division.

Please also clarify with your accounting department what exactly you need for the changeover.

We ask you to carry out the tests of the programs necessary for the update as soon as possible and on your own, as the short deadline requires quick action.
Changes to layouts will probably also be necessary in which the tax rate appears as a text constant in the layout. This applies to all billing variants. These text constants are replaced by the tax rates used in the case.

Our accounting colleagues will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Successful conversion of the Staber laboratory in Munich

The implementation of the Medat laboratory information system in the Staber laboratory in Munich was implemented punctually on July 1st, 2020. This enables Labor Staber to react in good time to legal requirements such as the VAT reduction, the introduction of Muster 10C and Muster OEGD.

The implementation went smoothly, as the functionality of the system was validated and verified by the laboratory in advance by means of a test operation with a mirrored productive system.

Despite the particular challenge of the hygiene regulations – due to Corona – the project was successfully implemented. We would like to thank the employees of Labor Staber and the Medat company for the constructive and successful cooperation and look forward to a joint, successful future.

Labor Staber Medizinische Diagnostik,

The path of the sample through the laboratory

Have you ever wanted to know what happens to a blood sample in the laboratory before the results come to you through your doctor?

Our customer, the Staber laboratory, shows in his video the individual steps that a sample takes on its way through the laboratory.

The Medat laboratory information system accompanies the sample at every step. The LIS enables the laboratory to run smoothly, fully electronic data exchange between the individual stations, it analyzes and prepares the information – all fully automated. A laboratory doctor then evaluates the information from the Medat LIS and validates it. Your doctor will then receive the results of the blood sample from the laboratory.

For Medat customers, full automation is not a vision of the future, but a reality today.

You can find more information about the Medat customer Labor Staber on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-zk3__Mhf8GKFFmsQhjWcAand on the websitehttps://www.labor-staber.de/home/
