Connecting pre-analytics, the LIS & lab automation

Handwork in the chain

Where systems share no interface, staff bridge the gap by hand, and every hand-built one-off interface can break at the next update.

All partner solutions speak the same interfaces, both ways, with no vendor lock-in and integration from one source.

IT comes in too late

What an interface planned too late costs depends on the individual project and cannot be generalised. Rather than invent a figure, we settle it in the discovery workshop against your system landscape.

If LIS support and IT only hear about the project during installation, changes are expensive, and interfaces fail that nobody ever planned.

We look at the LIS, the HIS and the existing infrastructure together with the people responsible for your IT before any decisions are made. IT is a partner, not an obstacle.

Samples cannot be found

How often a sample never arrives is measured – what it costs is not: depending on the case it is minutes or a whole day, and averaging that would not be honest. The value is in being able to evidence it, not in a cost figure.

Between transport, registration and analysis the traceability breaks, and with it the evidence ISO 15189 requires.

From labelling by GoDEX through Aerocom track & trace to sample registration in the LIS via STIWA LabFlow, every sample can be located at any time, and it is documented.
