Recently, version 4.0 of SPINA Thyr, a cross-platform application that facilitates calculation of thyroid's secretory capacity, total deiodinase activtiy and other structure parameters of thyroid homeostasis from hormone levels in equilibrium, has been released.
Thanks to HL7 engine 1.6.1 the support of HL7 messages has been massively improved. SPINA Thyr has now been enabled to both import and export data as HL7 ORU^R01 messages, which also provides an easy way to store calculation results. In addition to laboratory results the new version is able to also embed patient identifiers and visit dates, a feature that improves both archiving, printing and interoperability with electronic health records and hospital information systems.
