Sole Source Certification for Telcor Point of Care Middleware

The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) is seeking to procure Telcor's QML Middleware Software, which serves as the critical interface between UMMC's existing Point of Care Testing (POCT) instruments and the EPIC electronic health record system. This proprietary software platform provides centralized data management, real-time reporting, and comprehensive oversight for the POCT section of the Clinical Laboratory. The key features of this software include its ability to support over 1,000 instruments institution-wide, provide real-time connectivity and monitoring, and enable POCT staff to identify and resolve issues immediately. The projected expenditure for the Telcor QML software licensing and associated services is $92,848, which is consistent with industry standards for enterprise-level laboratory middleware solutions of this scope. • The software provides data management and reporting for the POCT section of the Clinical Lab. • It is the existing middleware platform currently owned and utilized by UMMC to connect all Point of Care Testing (POCT) instruments across its campuses. • The software is already fully implemented, validated, and integrated with UMMC's EPIC electronic health record system. • It supports a broad range of POCT devices, including Nova Biomedical Glucose Meters, Siemens Clinitek Status Connect, and Roche CoaguChek XS Plus/Pro. • The software enables real-time connectivity and monitoring, allowing POCT staff to identify and resolve issues immediately.
