Configurable Rule Engine
Define autoverification logic by test, age, gender, instrument, or reference range.

RULES-BASED RESULTING
LIMS IQ applies configurable rules to validate results, trigger reflex tests, and release normal ranges automatically. Reduce manual review without compromising quality.
Configurable Rule Engine
Reflex Testing
Delta Checks
Critical Value Alerts
Autoverify the routine
Release in-range results automatically using rules scoped by test, analyzer, age, gender, or client so techs focus only on exceptions.
Reflex on demand
Trigger confirmatory or follow-up orders the moment a screen meets criteria — no manual order entry, no missed reflex windows.
Defensible overrides
Every manual release, override, and rule bypass is logged with user, timestamp, and reason for CLIA and CAP review.
Release routine results instantly, focus on exceptions.

Frequently asked questions
Rules are configured through a structured editor scoped by test, analyzer, age, gender, client, or specimen type. Each rule combines numeric ranges, flag conditions, QC status, and delta-check thresholds, so labs can express policies like 'auto-release in-range chemistry on the Atellica unless prior delta exceeds 30%.' Changes are versioned and reviewable before they go live.
Delta checks compare the current result against the patient's prior value for the same analyte within a configurable window. Excessive change — absolute or percent — blocks auto-release and routes the result to a tech for review with the historical context displayed inline, helping catch sample mix-ups, contamination, or true clinical change before reporting.
Yes. Reflex rules add or cancel orders based on a primary result — for example, reflex confirmatory testing on a positive screen, or culturing on abnormal urinalysis. The reflex order is linked to the original accession, billed appropriately, and routed to the correct department without manual reorder entry.
Auto-release requires the result to fall within configured numeric and flag boundaries, pass delta checks, and have current QC for the analyte and instrument in an acceptable state. Critical values, instrument flags, and any rule violation block auto-release and route the result to the tech queue for manual sign-off.
Results that fail any rule appear in a tech review queue with the specific rule, threshold, and triggering value highlighted. Techs see prior results, QC status, and delta context on the same screen, sign off or repeat as needed, and the system records who released the result. Critical alerts can also push to messaging channels for immediate attention.
