Lab Web Portal
A web solution and desktop application for lab ordering management
Client
Our client is a medical center specializing in sarcoma and other oncology disorders. To
receive proper treatment, cancer patients have to do various lab tests on a regular basis.
For physicians, it means a lot of time-consuming management work (i.e., placing lab
orders, tracking their statuses, monitoring diagnostics results). Our client decided to
streamline this process and let clinicians focus more on treatment strategies instead of
wasting time on repetitive technical tasks. Its CTO sent us a request, asking to build a
user-friendly web system that would allow
medical staff to easily order and manage patients’ lab tests. The client also needed a desktop
application for administrative purposes.
Challenge
To bring the client’s idea to life, we had to integrate a new custom solution with several
third-party systems. Our team also had to create an intuitive user interface that would make
the web app easy-to-use even for clinicians who had never worked with such software before.
Lastly, our programmers had to ensure the highest level of data protection to meet the
regulatory requirements of the health industry.

Scope of work
We developed a web solution and desktop application from scratch. Our developers connected
the Lab Web Portal to such systems as:
- STARLIMS (a popular laboratory information management system) to enable the processing of
lab results
- Microsoft Dynamics CRM to simplify management of all interactions with patients, and
- LKBridge (a connectivity solution) to eliminate the necessity of retyping patient
demographic information that already exists in the electronic format from other management
systems to the new solution

Solution
To meet the client’s demands, our team built two solutions: a comprehensive laboratory
ordering web system and a user-friendly desktop application. As a result, they received:
- Streamlined processes
With Lab Web Portal, physicians don’t have to spend ages on data entry and other technical
tasks.
- Elimination of human errors
Automation of lab ordering leaves no space for double-entry, lost orders, and human-caused
errors in patient information.
- Easy monitoring of lab results
When using Lab Web Portal, doctors can be sure that nothing is missed and they received all
ordered results of lab tests.
- Favorable work conditions for clinicians
Lab Web Portal makes the life of medical staff easier, reducing the risk of professional
burnout caused by excessive workload.
