Introduction
HCLAB WAM is a highly flexible middleware solution enabling a sophisticated level of automation for the modernlaboratory. HCLAB WAM provides a single connection to a third-party Laboratory Information System (LIS) and / or
Hospital Information System (HIS).
At the heart of HCLAB WAM is the robust and extensive interface service, paired with advanced rules-based decision
support technology which provides the engine-room for your laboratory. This allows the laboratory to apply rules todetermine slide review, auto verify test results, real-time delta checking and auto repeat and reflex testing.
The intuitive user interface is a highly functional workstation for all laboratory staff, facilitating dynamic
management of all requests and results processing through the laboratory.
The core function of HCLAB WAM is complemented by instrument interface connectivity, quality control, tools forlaboratory management and patient report creation to complete the solution.

HCLAB WAM provides a comprehensive patient demographic and order entry system allowing you to easily create
and manage patient orders; improving the efficiency of your patient and specimen reception area. Features include:• Order and patient data download via an HCLAB WAM interface to the LIS/HIS• Add orders to registered and non-registered patients• Quick Mode Entry – place an order without entering patient demographic data
• User-definable Order Panel to allow rapid order entry for common order profiles• Entry of free text patient comments are supported• Entry of internal messages are supported• Integration with the Patient Master Index to automatically populate the patient demographics• Alert on duplicate orders• Use order entry rules to automatically add test(s) based on patient and sender information• Specimen barcodes can be created at order entry to allow immediate labelling4|HCLAB WAM

User Interface
HCLAB WAM’s intuitive, user-friendly graphical user interface enables laboaratory staff to get up to speed quickly,
with minimal training.
Navigation through the product is by way of icons or menus, and the main menu graphics and icon names can becustomised for each user, aiding familiarity.
The One Screen Management concept in HCLAB WAM emulates the workflow in the haematology and urinalysis
work areas, providing users visibility and control of the entire testing process.
Separate areas withing the UI guide the review of each patient and their results. A highlight of this is the captureand display of graphic images from the instruments within the WAM UI, for example:• Sysmex Urinalysis UD-10 digital images• Sysmex Haematology XN Series - scattergram
Manual test results such as WBC differential and other microscopy results can be easily entered into HCLAB WAM
via functionality provided by the built-in DIFF pad or Urine pad.

|5Rules Engine - Decision Support TechnologyA key point of difference in HCLAB WAM is the sophisticated Rules Engine, which supports the creation ofcustomisable rules to aid in decision making.
This technology helps to ensure the consistent execution of procedures and improves workflow efficiency forroutine and priority tests.
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, andpatient ages.
HCLAB WAM Rules Engine automates special requests from the physician at the point of order, such as theplacement of additional tests; and can attach instructions to testing staff during order entry based on provider andpatient information.
The Rules Engine conducts real-time data checks on data received from the analyser(s) based on predefined values
e.g. upper/lower limits, panic values and previous results for each parameter.
Utilising the decision support technology and standard rules in HCLAB WAM; decision making for auto verificationof normal results, auto comment, repeat and reflex testing can be achieved.
