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.

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.

07

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.

08

LIMS IQ Lite Path
