Solstas Lab Partners Continues to Implement RICAR in New Acquisition Laboratories

Solstas Lab Partners acquires Southern Diagnostic Laboratories of Birmingham, AL and implements RICAR scanning and workflow for requisition billing.

Birmingham, AL -- In August, Solstas Lab Partners acquired yet another laboratory, this time in the beautiful southern metropolis of Birmingham, Alabama. Southern Diagnostic Laboratories (SDL) was founded in 2003 and has become one of the fastest growing companies in the region. SDL is a clinical and pathology laboratory with locations throughout Alabama and Mississippi. SDL provides a wide variety of testing services including anatomic pathology, cytology, hematology, microbiology, molecular, serology and more. With this acquisition, Solstas Lab Partners expands its growth and identity in the south as one of the nation’s leading laboratories.

Freedom visited Birmingham in January to install its document and content management software, RICAR. With the integration of Southern, requisitions remotely scanned in Birmingham are sent directly to workflow queues in Greensboro, North Carolina for the Solstas billing team experts to process. This seamless transition allows real time billing of requisitions, providing the most efficient and profitable billing practices. The installation of RICAR also allows access to requisitions not only for employees in Birmingham and Greensboro, but also for Southern and Solstas employees at remote sites and patient service centers across the region. These users (with the proper security settings) can view requisitions remotely from anywhere with an Internet connection using FreeViewWeb, RICAR’s web-based viewer.

Additional sites integrate effortlessly into the Solstas billing process because of the capabilities of RICAR. The dynamic qualities of the RICAR system allow Solstas to seamlessly grow and expand across the country. Freedom is privileged to be a part of the success and advancement of Solstas Lab Partners across the country.
