Result management in depth
Everything between an instrument signal and a defensible answer. LABGEN's published strengths here (rule-based comments, invalid-result checking, panic push) are parity items; LABDAQ's auto-verification + delta engine and LigoLab's exception queues define the bar EKLIS targets.
What the benchmark ships
Rules on results
Automated & manual entry, online result checking, verify/approve workflow, automatic invalid-result checking, rule-based test comments, age/sex-based normal ranges, panic reporting with smartphone push; microbiology susceptibility, pathology images, toxicology prescription-vs-result consistency.
LABDAQ engine
Auto-verification on lab-defined criteria with automatic delta checks against priors and a rules engine that now extends to microbiology — plus AI-generated explanations of what each rule does (v25.7, 2026).
LigoLab exception queues
Auto-verification plus exception-based work queues is the pattern sold on volume-per-FTE and turnaround time — technologists see only what needs them.
EKLIS specification
| Group | Features | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Capture | Bidirectional instrument capture with flag handling · batch/worksheet manual entry grids, keyboard-first · inbound reference-lab result mapping | P1–P2 |
| Auto-verification | Range checks · delta checks (absolute/percent, configurable lookback) · instrument flags · QC-status gating · critical-value exclusion · per-test enablement · versioned, auditable rule sets — every auto-release records the rule version that passed it | P2 |
| Review worklists | Exception-based queues (pending / held / delta / flagged) with hold reasons · every action attributed and audited · repeat/dilute workflow | P1–P2 |
| Critical values | Closed-loop notification documentation: who was called, read-back, timestamp, escalation chain — never silently auto-released | P2 |
| Result content | Free-text + canned comments with rule-based auto-append · age/sex(/pregnancy)-specific reference ranges with effective dating · calculated results (eGFR, ratios) with formula versioning · absurd-value and unit blocking | P1–P2 |
| Corrections & history | Corrected results retain the original, are labeled, and re-deliver to every prior recipient · cumulative patient history and interval views · per-element audit trail | P1 |
| Specialty | Microbiology: organism dictionary, antibiotic panels, MIC/interpretation, cascade reporting, antibiogram output · image/PDF attachments at order, specimen, or result level · tox rx-vs-detected consistency | P4 |
