As an essential member of the Pure Health Group, Pure Lab attempted to refine its testing strategy by integrating its laboratory information system (LIS), Pure CS, with its laboratories. Ensuring that all routine data transfers between hospital departments were reliable and efficient was the primary objective.
The primary goal was to ensure that Pure CS could work seamlessly with labs, allowing patient data and lab results to flow smoothly without issues. Ensuring the safety and consistency of the data was very necessary.
Pure Labs was home to engineers who used a variety of work and documentation methods. It was essential to have set standards to prevent issues when classifying patient health profiles.
Staff wanted the project handled so it wouldn’t interfere with the daily operation of the business. If labs are regularly under heavy stress, a halt in their service might decrease the quality of the experiments.
We created user interfaces that resembled the Pure CS setup, making things easier for users. Fewer difficulties arose, the staff was less reluctant to adapt, and they continued working efficiently as before.
Example
To match Pure CS, we arranged the elements and added colour-coding to denote changes in test status (such as pending, in progress and completed). They didn’t have to remember new ways to perform tasks after upgrading.
We developed specific APIs that allowed secure and immediate data transfer for Pure Lab. By doing so, these APIs were able to provide patient data, accept test registrations, and produce QA reports, all while focusing on strict security.
Example
With the API, test results were automatically uploaded to Pure CS by the lab devices right after they were produced. As a result, doctors were spared the need for manual data input, the likelihood of mistakes was reduced, and the results were delivered promptly. Both authentication tokens and encryption were part of the API to comply with healthcare standards.
We realised Pure Lab’s infrastructure was complicated, so we rolled out the solution in stages. By doing this, we were able to test the modules in isolation, gather feedback, and make changes accordingly before proceeding. Every stage had practical sessions with training and record-keeping to help the lab team.
Example
We started by bringing together only the necessary test result module and a single pilot lab. When the small rollout proved successful, we expanded the integration to cover all labs and introduced functions that allowed people to schedule tests and pay through the platform. This difference stopped a complete system interruption and made it easier to introduce staff one by one.
Every test result and piece of patient data was sent correctly and securely through the integration of the systems. Automating the process of moving data to the hospital eliminated errors and inconsistencies, ensuring reliable diagnoses.
Phasing out the rollout helped Pure Lab’s staff avoid significant delays. As new features were introduced step by step, staff went on with their jobs and were trained to use them smoothly.
We worked to create a new interface that matches the style of Pure CS while also improving upon it. Better organisation and useful shortcuts may help lab technicians do their tasks faster and without re-learning.
