Laboratory Module

The right specimen.The right result.

The Eruntar Laboratory Module runs the whole diagnostic workflow for clinical, hospital, histopathology and molecular laboratories: orders, collection, specimen tracking, testing, verification, reporting and billing.

It stops mistakes where they start. A mismatched tube is blocked, a failed QC run holds the release, and a report that has gone out is corrected as a new version, never overwritten.

Works in

Any browser, plus phone apps for the field

One order, one specimen, one record from start to finish. Every stage shares the same patient, order and specimen, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing is guessed.

An order arrives

Typed at the desk, received by HL7 or FHIR, or sent from the Doctor Module. External orders wait in a holding queue to be checked before they join the workflow.

The specimen is identified

Collection is scheduled and assigned, labels print from versioned templates, and the patient's barcode must match the specimen's before the tube is accepted.

It is tested

Worklists go to instruments and results come back to the right order. Aliquots keep their lineage to the parent, and storage tracks freezer, rack and slot.

It is checked

Reference ranges, delta checks and critical value rules run on every result, and a failed QC run holds the release.

It is signed and sent

Pathologist review, final sign-off, then the report goes out by the channel the recipient uses, with every delivery tracked.

Disciplines

Reporting that fits the discipline

Coagulation, immunology, serology, urinalysis and toxicology run on generic panels today, and blood bank is not part of the module.

Chemistry

Routine and specialised panels with reference ranges, flags and calculated results.

Hematology

A CBC report layout, analyzer results routed to the right order.

Microbiology

Isolates and susceptibility as S, I or R with MIC and zone values, against CLSI or EUCAST breakpoints.

Molecular

HGVS variant naming, allele frequency and ACMG classification, with public variant database references.

Histopathology

CAP-style synoptic reporting, TNM staging, smart phrases and resident to attending co-signature.

Cytology

Bethesda-style reporting, including HPV results and specimen adequacy.

The bench floor

Nothing leaves the bench unchecked.

These are the places where the module stops something instead of reporting it afterwards, so a busy day cannot turn into a recall.

The patient barcode does not match the specimen

Positive specimen identification refuses the mismatch at collection, so a mislabelled tube never reaches the bench.

Blocked

A quality control run fails

The Westgard rules 1-3s, 2-2s, R-4s, 4-1s and 10x are evaluated, and a failing run blocks the results that depend on it until a corrective action is recorded.

Release held

A result moves implausibly from the last one

Delta checks compare with the patient's prior result by absolute change or percentage within a time window. Releasing past one takes a supervisor override, and it is on the record.

Needs a supervisor

A critical value is not acknowledged

Critical results need an acknowledgement, and when none arrives in time the escalation moves up on its own timer.

Escalates

Two people try to sign the same report

Final sign-off takes an exclusive claim, so a report is never signed in parallel from two screens.

One at a time

A specimen goes into the wrong temperature zone

Storage checks the zone before a rack slot is assigned, and retrieval outside the rules goes through a break-glass step that is logged.

Guarded

A released report needs correcting

Reports are stored as immutable, hash-verified versions. A correction is a recall and a new version with the edit history kept, not an overwrite.

New version

Someone edits the audit trail

Every event is chained to the one before it with a hash, and the chain is verified daily, so an edit breaks the chain.

Detected

And once a result is out

It keeps its history

Amendments carry a reason, reference ranges are effective-dated, and every version of a report is still there.

It watches the clock

Turnaround is tracked as events, so the orders about to breach their target are flagged while there is still time to act.

It reaches the field

Phone apps for phlebotomists and field teams, and for patients to see their results, work from the same records.

Connections

Instruments in, reports out

Analyzers

Registered devices, signed requests, test and barcode mapping and routing rules. Failed ingestion can be replayed or ignored, and drift is watched with a forecast of downtime.

Instrument connector

A companion connector reaches serial, TCP and file-based instruments over ASTM and HL7, with an offline queue and retry so a dropped link does not lose a result.

Orders in

HL7, FHIR and the Doctor Module send orders to a holding queue, with coverage checked before they are accepted.

Results out

FHIR export, bulk export and tracked delivery by email, SMS, WhatsApp, portal, health record and print.

Intelligence That Supports the Bench

It watches turnaround and answers questions about your own data. It does not make clinical decisions, and we do not call it autoverification.

Turnaround intelligence

Orders are tracked as events, with predicted breach risk, a likely root cause and escalation before the target is missed.

Ask your own data

Command centres for operations and quality answer questions about the laboratory's records, with the sources cited.

Held to account

Personal data is masked before it reaches a model, every use is audited, usage is capped, and an approval queue sits in front of anything that writes.

Questions

The things laboratories ask first

What is the Eruntar Laboratory Module?

A cloud-native laboratory information system for clinical, hospital, histopathology and molecular laboratories. It runs the whole diagnostic workflow in one place: orders, collection, specimen tracking, testing, result verification, reporting and billing, across one or many sites.

What is the difference between an LIS and a LIMS?

An LIS is built around clinical and diagnostic laboratories and patient-centred work: orders, results and reports. A LIMS is usually built around samples in research or industrial laboratories. Eruntar is a clinical and diagnostic LIS.

How does it stop the wrong specimen being tested?

With positive specimen identification. The patient's barcode is matched to the specimen's barcode at collection, and a mismatch is blocked rather than warned about. Labels come from versioned templates, accession numbers are issued by the system, and tube and container compatibility is checked against the test.

Can it connect to my analyzers?

Results come into the laboratory module and worklists go out to instruments over a secured API, with device registration, signed requests, test and barcode mapping, routing rules, and replay or ignore of anything that failed to ingest. Serial, TCP and file-based instruments are reached through a companion connector that speaks ASTM and HL7 and keeps an offline queue with retry, so a dropped network does not lose a result. Which instruments we have already connected is something to settle in the demo.

What quality checks run before a result is released?

Abnormal results are flagged against reference ranges that go through draft, approval and effective dating. Delta checks compare a result with the patient's prior result, by absolute change or percentage inside a time window, and holding the result needs a supervisor to override. Quality control runs the Westgard rules 1-3s, 2-2s, R-4s, 4-1s and 10x, and a failed QC run blocks release. Critical values need acknowledgement and escalate on a timer.

How are results verified and signed off?

Results can be entered singly or in batches and amended with a reason. They then go to pathologist review and final sign-off, which takes an exclusive claim so two people cannot sign the same report. Resident work can be co-signed by an attending, and reports can carry a digital signature.

Which disciplines does it cover?

Chemistry, hematology, microbiology, molecular diagnostics, histopathology and cytology each have their own reporting. Microbiology records isolates and susceptibility as S, I or R with MIC and zone values against CLSI or EUCAST breakpoints. Molecular reporting handles HGVS variants, allele frequency and ACMG classification. Histopathology has CAP-style synoptic reporting, TNM staging and co-signature. Coagulation, immunology, serology, urinalysis and toxicology run on generic panels today. Blood bank is not part of the module.

How are reports delivered?

As PDF, HTML or structured data, to the doctor, the patient or another system, by email, SMS, WhatsApp, the portal, a health record integration or print. Every delivery is tracked with retries and a delivery target. Each version of a report is stored immutably with a hash, and a report that has gone out can be recalled and corrected as a new version with its edit history kept.

Does it support HL7 and FHIR?

Yes, over HTTP. Orders arrive by HL7 ORM, FHIR ServiceRequest or Bundle, or from the Eruntar Doctor Module, and land in a holding queue to be checked before they enter the workflow. Results and orders can be exported as FHIR, including bulk export.

Can it run several branches and collection points?

Yes. Organisations, branches and collection points are separate levels, and isolation between tenants is enforced in the database on every row. Collection can be scheduled and assigned to collectors with route optimisation, and there are mobile apps for phlebotomists, field operations and patients viewing their results.

How does it handle billing?

Test price lists, invoices, tax, insurance splits, claims and remittance, refunds, discounts and disputes with approval flows, receivables, reconciliation and financial reports that export to CSV or JSON. Patients can pay online, and multiple currencies are supported. For a hospital that needs the full revenue cycle, the Billing Module is the larger system.

What does the intelligence layer do?

Turnaround intelligence tracks every order as events, predicts which ones are likely to breach their turnaround time and escalates them. Command centres for operations and quality answer questions about your own laboratory data, with sources cited. Voice dictation is available for reports. Personal data is masked before it goes to a language model, every use is audited, usage is capped, and it supports staff rather than making clinical decisions. We do not describe it as autoverification.

How is the data protected?

Access is by role and capability, tenants are isolated in the database, and every change is written to a hash-chained audit trail that is verified daily. Sign-in is handled by the Eruntar identity service. We do not describe the module as certified against any standard. It is built with the controls an accreditation audit looks for in mind.
