How it works

Order in. Confirm once. Results out.

Today many labs type the same patient and order again at accession. Lab Bridge pulls fields from fax or paper, lets a tech fix only the gaps, then confirms once into the LIS.

Full lab lifecycle showing without Lab Bridge staff retypes fax into LIS, versus with Lab Bridge extract fix flags confirm once so the LIS gets a structured order
The focus is accession: orange path = today’s full LIS retype from fax/paper; teal path = Lab Bridge removes that second entry and reuses the return destination. Collect channels (PSC, mobile draw, courier) are context only.

What “confirm once” means

Without Lab Bridge, accession staff often retypes name, DOB, provider, panels, and return fax from a PDF. With Lab Bridge, that content is already proposed — the human only corrects flagged fields, then one confirm posts the order.

  1. Inbound lands in a watched folderFax PDF, scanned requisition, or email attachment drops into Lab Bridge’s inbox.
  2. Extract + flagPatient, provider, panels, and office return channel are proposed. Hard-to-read fields are marked for a human.
  3. Tech reviewAccession or client services edits only what needs a second look, then confirms.
  4. LIS + outboundOrder posts to the LIS path; when results are ready, Lab Bridge can return by the original fax/email without retyping.
