Revol LIMS delivers automated critical value alerting, HL7/FHIR interoperability with hospital EHR and HIS systems, configurable reflex testing rules, and built-in CLIA, CAP, and ISO 15189 compliance — in one platform.
Clinical diagnostic laboratories sit at the direct intersection of patient safety, hospital operations, and regulatory accreditation. Whether you run a hospital core lab, an independent reference laboratory, or a multi-site diagnostic network, the operational demands are distinct:
A missed or delayed critical-value notification is one of the highest-risk events in a clinical laboratory. Revol LIMS applies configurable critical-value thresholds per analyte and patient population, triggering immediate, trackable escalation the moment a result crosses the line.
Manual data entry between the laboratory and hospital systems introduces transcription errors and delays. Revol LIMS supports bi-directional HL7v2 and HL7 FHIR messaging, keeping orders, results, and patient demographics synchronised across every connected system.
Diagnostic accuracy depends on the right follow-up test being ordered at the right time. Revol LIMS lets labs configure reflex and auto-verification rules that trigger automatically based on result patterns, eliminating manual rule-checking and review delays.
Specialised tests routed to outside reference laboratories are a common source of lost visibility and delayed turnaround. Revol LIMS tracks every send-out specimen from the moment it leaves your facility through result return and patient record reconciliation.
Across hospital core labs, independent reference laboratories, and multi-site diagnostic networks, laboratory and clinical teams face the same recurring operational and compliance challenges:
Manual phone-call escalation for STAT and critical results, with no systematic tracking of who was notified or when. A missed callback is both a patient-safety incident and a CAP citation waiting to happen.
Disconnected interfaces between LIS and hospital systems force manual re-entry of orders and results, introducing transcription errors and delaying physician access to diagnostic information.
Without automated reflex rules, technologists manually review every result for add-on testing triggers — a slow, inconsistent process that delays diagnosis and overburdens skilled staff.
Manual PT result tracking and CAP/CLIA documentation scattered across spreadsheets and binders turns every inspection cycle into a scramble to reconstruct compliance evidence.
Samples sent to outside laboratories disappear from view until results return — or don’t. Lost send-outs and missed turnaround commitments erode physician and patient trust.
Manual processes and shared logins widen HIPAA exposure. Without granular access controls and a complete audit trail, a single breach investigation can become a multi-week forensic exercise.
Clinical diagnostic testing is regulated at federal, institutional, and international levels simultaneously — each with distinct accreditation checklists, data privacy mandates, and interoperability requirements. Revol LIMS is built on internationally recognised compliance frameworks, ensuring your laboratory remains audit-ready across every applicable standard.

Yes. Revol LIMS applies configurable critical-value thresholds at the analyte, age-group, and specimen-type levels. The moment a result crosses a threshold, the system triggers automated multi-channel notification to ordering physicians, nursing units, or on-call staff, with time-stamped acknowledgement capture. If a notification isn’t acknowledged within a defined window, configurable escalation chains automatically advance to the next contact — ensuring no critical result is left waiting on an unanswered phone call.
