PACLAB Network Laboratories provides medical laboratory services to physicians, clinics, and large hospitals in Washington State. To improve its position in this competitive business, PACLAB wanted a system that would enable large health care organizations as well as individual physicians and clinics to access patient lab reports, regardless of where the testing was performed within the PACLAB system. PACLAB worked with Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, a Microsoft global alliance partner, to create a Microsoft .NET–connected solution that uses Web services to query databases in various health care organizations in order to provide a complete, unified picture of a patient's test reports.
