SparkLIS and PathArray run the lab
Orders, specimens, work queues, review, and reporting live in the LIS: SparkLIS for toxicology, chemistry, and molecular, PathArray for histology and anatomic pathology.
How it works
How Lab Dynamo works from order to result.
One connected system for orders, specimens, instruments, review, and results. Follow a single specimen through the lab and see the screen used at every step.
Follow one specimen, step by step.
Pick a step to see what happens, which product handles it, and the screen your team or your client would use.
Client portal
The clinic orders online
Northside Clinic orders a urine drug screen with LC-MS/MS confirmation in its portal. The test menu, providers, and diagnosis codes are already loaded, and required fields are checked before the order is submitted.
- Orders arrive complete, with no faxed requisitions to decipher
- Medication lists come with the order
- Each clinic manages its own users and locations
SparkLIS
The lab receives and routes the specimen
When the specimen arrives, SparkLIS matches it to the electronic order, prints a barcode label, and routes it to the right worklist and batch automatically.
- Barcode-driven accessioning in seconds
- Automatic routing to the right bench
- Chain of custody documented when required
SparkRelay
Instruments run without retyping
SparkRelay sends the worklist to the LC-MS/MS and posts results back to SparkLIS through a secure local relay agent. Every message is logged, so problems are spotted before they delay results.
- ASTM, HL7, RS-232, TCP/IP, and flat files
- Works with SparkLIS or nearly any LIS
- Hosted by us, or in your own Docker environment
SparkLIS
Results are reviewed and released
Results land in review with cutoffs, validity checks, and interpretation against the patient’s prescribed medications. The lab verifies and releases with a full audit trail.
- Flags for unexpected and out-of-range results
- QC visible next to the results
- Every action recorded for inspections
Integrations
Results go where they are needed
The released result goes straight into the clinic’s EHR over HL7, the report appears in the client portal, and charges flow to billing, all without manual exports.
- HL7 results into client EHRs
- Reports in the client portal on demand
- Billing interfaces with the right codes
Example screens with sample data.
How the pieces connect.
Each product does one job well, and they are built to work together. Use the whole stack or only the parts you need.
SparkRelay connects the instruments
Middleware between your analyzers and the LIS translates and routes orders and results, in our cloud or yours, and works with nearly any LIS.
Interfaces connect your partners
HL7, ASTM, RS-232, and flat-file interfaces exchange orders, results, and charges with EHRs, practice systems, reference labs, and billing.
Portals connect your clients
Practices order online and pull results on demand, with settings that can load directly from SparkLIS.
