The specialist reveals the benefits of the integration between TCM and Metricare for laboratories

The interview highlights how the partnership strengthens management and drives laboratory growth.

Continuing the series of exclusive interviews with technology companies accredited by the Brazilian Society of Clinical Pathology/Laboratory Medicine (SBPC/ML) and Controllab, which integrate data into Metricare—a platform that supports healthcare organizations in the comparative analysis of laboratory indicators—this edition of Talking A features Fernando Requi Benato, systems analyst and developer at TCM Informática, in an interview conducted by José Poloni, educational manager at Controllab.

Founded in 1988, TCM Informática is driven by a mission of constant innovation, providing high-quality solutions across all stages of the laboratory process—pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical. This enables its clients to focus on conducting tests with precision and safety.

Integration with Metricare and enhanced management

Currently, TCM offers 14 indicators integrated with Metricare, providing laboratories with dynamic and practical access to the comparison of relevant data. According to Fernando, the company’s goal is to expand this integration in response to the growing interest from users for information related to sample collection and laboratory management.

– We have integration with our two systems available in the market – Esmeralda Visual and Esmeralda Connect – and it works perfectly. This makes it very easy for the user to take full advantage of the benefits that Metricare offers to assist in laboratory management, he stated.

Among the benefits, the integration reduces the complexity of data collection and provides better access to information, resulting in more efficient and reliable processes. As a result, there is more time available for benchmarking analysis and for implementing actions that make the laboratory more competitive.

Moreover, the implementation of clear metrics and the comparative analysis of indicators not only contribute to more accurate decisions but also assist laboratories in complying with RDC 786/2023.

The specialist also emphasized that “every manager should use Metricare, as it is an essential tool to assist in the management and continuous growth of the laboratory.”
