Customizable Spirometry Reporting

Minneapolis, MN USA – Occupational health testing depends on solid, thorough, and clearreports. The new CCS?200 Spirometer from Benson Medical Instruments introduces an easier way to customize reports—the Benson Medical Report Builder.

Traditionally, software programs offer only two types of reports: built-in, or fully custom. For custom reports, the customer would either pay by the hour for a programmer to change the report, or have a technical person use specialized software to modify the report. This modification would be tedious, in that every element—word, line, and space—would have to be changed individually. Benson Medical has found a better way for most common circumstances.

“By listening to the users of our occupational health software products, we have found that most requests we receive about changes to existing reports have to do with deleting a section, or moving a section from one existing report to another,” explains David Mayou, Sales Manager for Benson Medical Instruments. “We decided to innovate to make this possible for our customers without customization.”

Benson Medical offers two broad sets of pulmonary function reports: Subject reports, for each test subject; and Company reports, for groups of employees. Within the Subject set of reports, three subsets of reports are available: Subject Spirograms; Subject Medical History; and Trends. Different reports are suitable for different compliance needs, whether you are following OSHA regulations or meeting SSA/DDS requirements for pulmonary function testing. If we think of these reports as made up of different elements such as headers, footers, graphs, etc., users can pick and choose among these options to ‘build’ their own report without hiring a programmer. The Benson Medical Report Builder makes custom report creation easier by providing a library of pre-made sub?reports that can easily be placed into a single-page or multi-page report format by any staff person. Dozens of choices combined as you need give you thousands of report possibilities. The CCS-200 builder software takes care of complex layout and processing details such as connection to data, aesthetics, and page numbering, freeing you and your staff to manage and analyze data presented in the report. The newly created report can be named and saved in the network database, ready for anyone to use later.

For companies required to perform hearing and pulmonary function testing, the CCS-200 spirometer integrates with Benson Medical 'mini' audiometers, saving time and cost by eliminating double data entry or transfer of duplicate data. One database, rather than two, offers obvious advantages to any organization.

Benson Medical is a leading producer of audiometers and hearing conservation systems, integrating reliable equipment with efficient operating and database software. The engineering vision and culture of innovation that designed an industry-leading audiometer and software package has now produced a state-of-the-art spirometer, supported by software delivering exceptional user convenience, flexibility, and economy.
