Case Study: Molecular Pathology achieves real-time analytics and scalable high-performance web lab management with InterSystems Caché

Molecular Pathology uses Caché’s real-time analytics for viewing complex test results

Molecular Pathology Laboratory Network of Maryville, Tenn., a pioneer in genomic laboratory medicine and DNA testing, needed a way to manage extremely complex diagnostic data for more than 100,000 analyses a year. Facing rapid growth in specialized tests and no off‑the‑shelf application that met their needs, the lab required a high‑performance, scalable database that could handle transaction processing while delivering real‑time analytics and fast development cycles.

They built a browser‑based laboratory information system on InterSystems Caché, leveraging features like Transactional Bitmap Indexing, XML/web‑services support, and the Enterprise Cache Protocol. The result is a secure, web‑accessible platform that tracks specimens, generates automated reports, supports global client access, and delivers the performance, scalability, and rapid deployment the lab required.
