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