Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Connectivity
The Cayuga Health Laboratory uses CayugaConnect (our EMR connectivity solution, through our collaboration with Mayo Medical Laboratories) to manage electronic orders and results from client EMR’s. Bidirectional data transfer requires less manual data entry, decreases clerical workload and significantly reduces clerical errors. Standing order management is more automated and reliable. This significantly decreases the number of phone calls and faxes needed today, saving physician office staff time and frustrations.

Connection with Mayo Clinic Laboratories
The Mayo Medical Clinic serves as the official reference laboratory for Cayuga Health. In this role, Mayo Clinic Laboratories (MCL) performs tests that are done infrequently and tests for rare conditions that require special expertise and equipment. Genetic testing for certain familial cancers, inherited metabolic diseases, and bleeding disorders are among the types of tests for which Cayuga Health uses MCL. However, the Cayuga Health Laboratory is now doing more molecular diagnostic and prognostic testing here in Ithaca and this trend will continue.
The Mayo Clinic is a highly regarded academic center that offers reference laboratory services. Unlike other commercial labs, the Mayo Clinic has a distinct mission: to assist their collaborating labs as they grow and acquire additional expertise. We work closely with our colleagues at Mayo to increase lab efficiencies, expand our capabilities, and make our laboratory service as seamless and dependable as possible. Our tech staff benefits from education courses and weekly teleconferences, which help us as we adopt new technologies and expand our own abilities in esoteric testing.

“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
