RULES-BASED RESULTING
LIMS IQ evaluates results against configured rules, triggers reflex tests, and auto-approves eligible requisitions. Anything that fails a rule stays queued for human review.
- 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 when screening results meet configured criteria, keeping reflex work linked to the original accession.
Defensible overrides
Every manual release, override, and rule bypass is logged with user, timestamp, and reason for CLIA and CAP review.
Product view
Auto-release eligible results and focus review on exceptions.
FAST, RELIABLE AUTOVERIFICATION
Configure rules by test, age, gender, instrument, or reference range so eligible results release automatically while exceptions stay in review.

Frequently asked questions

Q01
How are autoverification rules authored in LIMS IQ?
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.
Q02
How do delta checks work?
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.
Q03
Can rules trigger reflex testing automatically?
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.
Q04
What conditions are required for a result to auto-release?
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.
Q05
How are exceptions surfaced to techs?
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.
