Inbound orders
Receive mapped ORM messages from Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, Practice Fusion, and other EMRs; create complete requisitions automatically and route incomplete orders to pending review.
Outbound results
Transmit ORU results back to ordering providers in real time when finalized, with full audit trail of every transaction.
Reference lab loops
Route send-outs to LabCorp, Quest, and partner labs, then return configured electronic results to the originating patient record for review.

Frequently asked questions

Q01
Which EMR or EHR systems can LIMS IQ integrate with?
LIMS IQ supports common EHR systems used by hospitals, clinics, and physician offices through standards-based interfaces. If a system can speak HL7 v2 or FHIR, we can usually exchange orders and results with it. Site-specific configuration covers custom segments, MRN formats, and provider directory mappings during the build cycle.
Q02
Do you use HL7 ORM/ORU or FHIR for EMR integrations?
Both. HL7 v2 ORM (orders) and ORU (results) remain the workhorse messages for most clinical interfaces, and we also support FHIR resources such as ServiceRequest, Specimen, and DiagnosticReport for partners who prefer a REST-based exchange. The right choice depends on what the EHR side supports and your throughput requirements.
Q03
Are EMR integrations bidirectional?
Yes. Most production interfaces are bidirectional: ORM messages flow from the EHR into accessioning, and ORU messages return finalized and corrected results back to the ordering provider. Unidirectional setups (results only or orders only) are also supported when the EHR side cannot accept inbound traffic or when the lab is read-only.
Q04
What does the build and test cycle for a new interface look like?
A typical interface starts with a kickoff to confirm message specs, MRN handling, and provider mapping, followed by a configuration pass in a non-production environment. Both sides exchange test ORM and ORU messages against scripted scenarios, including reflex orders and corrected results, before signing off and cutting over to production with monitoring in place.
