Abbott ID NOW
Also known as Alere i.
ConnectivityWise puts every ID NOW result in your EHR the moment the run finishes and tells your staff it's ready. One simple price per location covers it, along with every other instrument you run.
Tests the ID NOW runs
We'll confirm which of these your ID NOW is configured to run during implementation.
About the ID NOW Instrument
ID NOW is a rapid molecular point-of-care platform that uses isothermal nucleic acid amplification (NAAT) rather than thermocycled PCR, which is how it returns molecular results in minutes on a small benchtop instrument with a touchscreen. The menu covers COVID-19 2.0 (positives as early as 6 minutes, negatives at 12), Influenza A & B 2 (under 13 minutes), Strep A 2 (under 6 minutes) and RSV (13 minutes or less), all from a nasal, nasopharyngeal or throat swab. The COVID-19 2.0 assay allows an Influenza A & B 2 test to be added from the same patient sample without recollecting. The assays are FDA cleared and CLIA waived. Learn more about the instrument at the manufacturer's product page.
Why practices connect the ID NOW
Respiratory season means swab after swab, and a molecular result that lands in six minutes is only useful if the clinician sees it that fast. Connect ID NOW and each result posts to the chart the moment the run finishes, with staff notified, so treat-or-not decisions happen while the patient is still in the room. No handwritten logs, no retyping, nothing lost between the instrument and the EHR.
Send ID NOW results to your EHR
Results from the ID NOW file into whichever EHR you run, matched to the order where you use one. We connect to any EHR or EMR that accepts results.
ID NOW connectivity questions
Can the ID NOW connect to my EHR?
Yes. ConnectivityWise interfaces the Abbott ID NOW and posts its results into your EHR automatically, matched to the order where you use one, or filed directly where you don't. Nobody retypes a value.
Which EHRs can the ID NOW send results to?
Any EHR or EMR that accepts results, including Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, Oracle Health, Greenway, and PointClickCare. Automatic result upload works with any order and results workflow.
Does quality control from the ID NOW get captured?
ConnectivityWise captures quality control results alongside patient results, so your CLIA records are complete when an inspector asks. What a given instrument reports varies by device, so we confirm exactly what your ID NOW emits during implementation.
What does it take to connect a ID NOW?
The Data Sync Agent, one small install on any Windows computer in your organization, collects results from the instrument and syncs them securely to the ConnectivityWise cloud. A single installation covers every instrument and location you have, and a named human guides the setup and validation end to end.
