Workflow Automation
Streamline laboratory operations with intelligent workflow automation. Route samples automatically, assign tasks efficiently, and eliminate manual bottlenecks to achieve faster turnaround times.
Visual Workflow Designer
Design and modify laboratory workflows without coding using our intuitive visual workflow builder. Create complex branching logic and conditional routing with drag-and-drop simplicity.
- Drag-and-Drop Builder - Create workflows visually by connecting workflow steps. No technical expertise required to design or modify processes.
- Conditional Logic - Build intelligent routing based on sample type, test requested, clinical urgency, or any data attribute.
- Workflow Templates - Start with pre-built templates for common laboratory workflows. Customise to match your specific requirements.
- Version Control - Track workflow changes with full version history. Roll back to previous versions when needed.
Intelligent Task Assignment
Automatically distribute work across your team based on skills, workload, and availability. Ensure the right person handles every task at the right time.
- Skill-Based Routing - Match tasks to staff based on qualifications, competencies, and authorisation levels. Ensure compliance with training requirements.
- Workload Balancing - Distribute tasks evenly across available staff. Monitor individual and team workloads in real-time.
- Priority Queuing - Automatically prioritise urgent samples and time-sensitive tests. Override capabilities for emergency situations.
- Task Reassignment - Easy task handover between staff members with full context preservation. Coverage for absences and shift changes.
Process Automation
Eliminate manual steps with configurable automation rules. Trigger actions automatically based on events, conditions, or schedules.
- Event Triggers - Initiate automated actions when specific events occur - sample receipt, result entry, authorisation, or status changes.
- Reflex Testing - Automatically add follow-up tests based on initial results. Configure cascading test logic for diagnostic pathways.
- Auto-Validation - Automatically validate and release results within defined parameters. Focus human review on exceptions and abnormals.
- Scheduled Actions - Run automated processes on schedule - batch processing, report generation, data exports, and maintenance tasks.
Automated Laboratory Workflow
See how automation transforms your laboratory operations from sample receipt to result delivery.
Auto-Accessioning
Samples automatically registered upon barcode scan. Test orders populated from electronic requests.
Smart Routing
Samples routed to appropriate workstations based on test requirements and current queue status.
Task Assignment
Work assigned to qualified staff based on skills, workload, and availability algorithms.
Result Capture
Results automatically captured from instruments. Manual entry supported where needed.
Auto-Validation
Results within normal parameters automatically validated. Exceptions flagged for review.
Result Delivery
Authorised results automatically transmitted to requesting systems and clinicians.
