Laboratory Information System

Empowering the diagnosticlaboratorywww.sysmex-ap.com

HCLAB is a comprehensive, flexible and practical laboratory information system (LIS) that can be easily configured to
the needs of your laboratory.
Designed to streamline routine tasks, HCLAB is suitable for medical and diagnostic laboratory disciplines including
haematology, coagulation, biochemistry, immunology, urinalysis, microbiology, molecular and anatomical pathology.
HCLAB is highly scalable, making it ideal for any size laboratory, from small dedicated project sites through to complexmulti-site healthcare organisations and university hospitals.
HCLAB ensures end-to-end information management, from initial test request through to results reporting anddelivery.

Order Entry
HCLAB’s smart client workstation provides web access for clinical staff on the ward or branch hospital to request anorder, as well as enabling order entry in the laboratory.
Key features include:• User-definable screen panel for rapid order entry• Rapid test selections via ‘quick mode’ – allows patient data to follow• Rule-based engine provides decision support at the point-of-order, e.g. additional tests, testing instructions• Alerts on duplicate orders• Automatic routing of orders to the correct work area or analyser for testing• Internal messaging function• Free text patient comment entry• Specimen barcode label generation|3

Specimen Management
HCLAB’s specimen check-in module enables your laboratory to:• Capture the specimen arrival date and time
• Generate specimen barcode labels• Automatically route specimens to the correct work area or analyser• Use the “Quick Mode” option to speed up specimen check-in (especially useful in a high-volume specimenenvironment)• Decline specimens that are technically unsuitable for processing or testing

HCLAB ensures complete management of specimen archiving and tracking, with an advanced search function toenable quick location of stored sample tubes.

Sent Out Test Management
This module is used to manages and tracks samples sent to external laboratories for testing that is not performed
in-house. Includes the ability to generate test order lists, monitor turnaround time and scan the report once received
from the external lab into HCLAB for reporting.

HCLAB LIS

Result Management and ProcessingHCLAB’s robust interfaces enable automatic download of results from analysers for review and authorisation,
eliminating transcription errors and ensuring result accuracy.
HCLAB interfaces handle results in multiple formats including numerical, textual and graphical.
The online analyser results module provides a real-time overview of the work being processed by each analyser. It
enables the user to access results directly, and to view, validate, add or amend tests and order repeat testing for eachanalyser connected to the HCLAB workstation.
The rules-based engine supports features such as automatic flagging of abnormal results and automatic reflex testing.
Additional features include: panic result notification; manual result entry including rich text capabiities; ability toattach images and PDFs to a result.

|5Quality Control
To ensure the highest level of results accuracy, HCLAB includes a comprehensive Quality Control (QC) module. QC
features include:• Support for both numerical and textual QC results• QC graphs for trend analysis• Multi-level per assay Levey Jennings plot
• Twelve configurable Westgard rules and real-time Westgard checks• Calculated sigma value using six sigma technologies

Reagent Inventory Management
This specialised area of HCLAB helps the laboratory to maintain sufficient reagents, avoid any wastage due to expiredreagents, monitors analyser consumption and calculates cost per test.

Result Enquiry
HCLAB’s flexible and intelligent search engine provides quick and easy access to individual patient results withmultiple search options available. Utilizing the advanced rule-based technology, HCLAB also provides the ability toquery specific patient result combinations across the entire HCLAB database – a useful tool to support lab and clinicaldata research studies.

Patient Report Presentation and Delivery
HCLAB report management and delivery is fast, accurate and flexible, helping deliver first-rate customer service.
Patient report presentation formats are fully customisable.
Key features include:• Consolidated and cumulative patient reports• Numerical and graphical format• Automatic color-coded flagging of abnormal, validated and edited results
HCLAB offers a range of report delivery options which can be configured to meet individual customer reportingneeds, including print, fax, email, secure access via web browser or mobile device, as well as HL7 to third party EHRor clinical system.

Management Tools
Unlocking the data in the LIS is key to supporting the daily management of your laboratory. HCLAB provides a rangeof administrative and statistical report tools to support management activities.
The HCLAB Dashboard gives laboratory personnel greater insight into their key performance indicators via aneye-catching user interface.
Collating real-time data from multiple sources in the LIS database, the management dashboard provides a graphicalsummary of important laboratory statistics, including monitoring of daily performance, key metrics and throughput
at the laboratory. It also delivers actionable information enabling more informed decisions to be made easily andquickly.

Delivers the application over a web Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connection.
Smart client
application

Multisite
configuration

Rules-basedengineProvides automated installation and updates.
Has the look and feel of a desktop application.

HCLAB Smart Client HTTP connection means that system access is available from any
location that has web connectivity. The most important benefit of this feature is that itprovides a centralized system enabling multi-lab configuration where each remote site canbe configured to support its own operation without having their own LIS server. This alsomeans a lower cost of ownership.

Supports customisable rules to aid in decision making for order entry, auto verificationof patient results, reflex additional testing, adding automatic comments and result query.
An easy to use UI allows administrators to build rules on numerous data points, including
test results, instrument flags, delta violations, wards/clinics, clinicians, patients, order priorities, patient clinical info, patient gender, and patient ages.

HCLAB utilises the latest standards including Microsoft technologies and Oracle relational
databases.
Standards andinteroperability

Creates a standard environment providing users with peace of mind, the ability to link withother systems and provision for future expansion.
HL7 interface standards for easy integration into both the laboratory and hospital environments.
Ensures dynamic, diverse communication between systems at all times.
