Cloud-Hosted LIS
Skip the on-prem server. LIMS IQ runs in the browser so a POL can stand up its lab software without buying and maintaining local hardware.
Physician office lab workflow

POL workflow snapshot
A practical LIS for the office lab
One queue covers intake, QC review, resulting, and report delivery—designed for a small clinical team.
Office-friendly
Designed for non-IT staff
Front desk and clinical teams can work the daily queue without a dedicated lab IT administrator on site.
Provider-aware
Results follow the patient
Results route back through the EHR or as a final report, so providers can act without bouncing between systems.
POL operating model
BUILT FOR THE PHYSICIAN OFFICE LAB
Physician office labs run lean. Front desk staff handle order entry, a small clinical team handles testing, and the same provider who saw the patient often reviews results minutes later. LIMS IQ is structured around that reality: a clear daily queue, simple accessioning, QC controls, and result delivery back into the EHR—without the operational weight of an enterprise LIS.
- Cloud-hosted, browser-based access for front desk and clinical staff
- Manual order entry plus HL7 ORM intake from supported EHRs
- Accessioning, specimen receiving, and barcode label printing
- Basic QC, manual result entry, and approved parser-backed uploads
- Single approval path with final report generation and ORU delivery
- Standard onboarding templates aligned to a POL workflow
What a POL Gets With LIMS IQ
LIMS IQ packages the capabilities a physician office lab actually uses every day—without forcing you to take on the configuration weight of an enterprise reference lab deployment.
POL-Sized Workflow
A focused daily queue for order intake, accessioning, QC, resulting, and delivery—structured around the reality of a small clinical team rather than a 24/7 reference lab.
EHR & HL7 Integration
Use HL7 ORM/ORU interfaces to receive electronic orders from the EHR and return results, reducing duplicate manual entry between practice systems and the lab.
CLIA Waived & Moderate Complexity
Workflow, QC, and result review controls are designed to support the CLIA-waived and moderate complexity testing most POLs and group practices perform.
QC And Release Control
Basic QC pass/fail controls, result review, abnormal flag handling, and a single approval path before results are released to the provider or back to the EHR.
Simple Reporting & Delivery
Generate final reports from approved standard templates and deliver them through approved standard channels—including HL7 ORU back to the ordering EHR.
Easy For Non-IT Staff
Front desk staff, medical assistants, and providers can learn the day-to-day workflow without needing a dedicated lab IT administrator on site.
LIMS IQ Lite Path
Most POLs, group practice labs, and urgent care labs are a strong fit for LIMS IQ Lite, a fixed-monthly-price packaging of LIMS IQ aimed at smaller lab operations.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. LIMS IQ supports CLIA-waived and moderate complexity workflows with simple order entry, guided result capture, and built-in QC tracking. Front-desk and clinical staff can run the daily testing menu without specialized lab IT, since the system runs in the browser and does not require an on-prem server.
LIMS IQ uses HL7 v2 ORM/ORU interfaces to receive electronic orders from the EMR and return finalized results to the patient's chart. This eliminates double entry between the front desk and the lab, and works with major ambulatory EMRs that support standard HL7 messaging.
LIMS IQ captures CPT codes, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, insurance details, and order-level billing data, and can export billing files or send HL7 DFT messages to a practice management or revenue cycle system. This keeps test charges aligned with the order and reduces manual claim entry.
No. LIMS IQ is structured around the realities of a physician office lab: a clear daily queue, simple accessioning, guided QC, and fast result release. Front desk staff can handle order intake while the testing team focuses on resulting, with role-based permissions keeping each user in the right part of the workflow.
Test definitions are fully configurable, so common POL menus — urinalysis, rapid strep, flu, COVID, hCG, glucose, lipid panels, basic chemistry, hematology — can be set up with reference ranges, units, and reflex rules. Adding a new analyzer or assay does not require a software release.
