Specimen intake through to result release, with barcode handling, turnaround-time monitoring and instrument integration over REST.

The starting point
Specimens arrived by courier and were logged on a printout. When a client asked where a sample was, someone walked the bench to find out, and turnaround figures were estimated rather than measured.
What we built
- Barcode intake with label printing and chain of custody at every hand-off
- Result capture pulled directly from instruments over REST
- Turnaround clocks per test type with escalation when a target is at risk
- Release and reporting with the referring clinician's details attached
What it delivers
- Barcode-driven specimen chain of custody
- Turnaround-time monitoring with escalation flags
- Direct instrument-to-system result capture
The outcome
Any sample can be located in seconds, turnaround is measured rather than remembered, and results reach referring practices without being re-typed.
