Cognoscenti's clinical laboratory offers a full diagnostic testing menu
including molecular diagnostic services to the regional community. Cognoscenti provides specialty test
interpretation and selection services for community physicians to optimize test utilization.
These value-added services are delivered via the web at the time of decision making for critical
disease management.
Cognoscenti's true competitive advantage resides with its people. These individuals have
followed exceptional career paths that endowed them with a unique understanding of the healthcare
technology development, application and marketplace, and prepared them to define the new generation
of healthcare.
The Institute's 6,500 sq.ft clinical laboratory at Central Florida Research Park has
introduced state-of-the-art diagnostic technologies and professional specialty test selection and
interpretation services to the central Florida community, replacing the current out-of-region
support with faster turn-around time and a more efficient healthcare delivery. The institute also
provides additional direct professional referral to individuals at leading academic institutions.
To deliver its services, the Institute and its affiliates have built a fully web enabled
information system. Diagnostic test information, test ordering, result reporting, expert
utilization recommendations, and consult and referral services, are directly available via the
internet. Patients will be able to access information through their "personal medical record",
which can also be viewed by their providers of choice.
The information system will also house a large clinical and laboratory data warehouse.
The ability to mine this data, to provide sophisticated molecular diagnostic testing, and
to bank patients' serum/tissue have placed the Institute in an optimal position to bi-directionally
facilitate the translation of emerging biotechnology into clinical practices. The institute and
its affiliates have already begun building an IT infrastructure that will facilitate clinical trial
brokerage and help direct future biotechnology development efforts in the diagnostic and
pharmaceutical industries.
