OPES Lab

Laboratory Information System

Request a demonstration

A laboratory result is only useful if it reaches the clinician who ordered it, attached to the right patient, before the decision is made. Paper request forms and handwritten result slips fail all three tests regularly.

OPES Lab manages the specimen from request to validated result, and delivers that result into the patient's record automatically rather than depending on somebody walking it back to the ward.

What OPES Lab does

Test ordering and sample tracking

Requests raised electronically, specimens barcoded and tracked, so a lost sample is detected rather than discovered when the result never arrives.

Worklists by bench

Each bench sees its own pending work, prioritised, instead of a shared pile of request forms.

Result entry and validation

Results entered with reference ranges applied, abnormal values flagged, and a validation step before release.

Automatic result delivery

Validated results appear in the ordering clinician's view and the patient record without re-entry.

Reagent and consumable stock

Consumption tracked against tests performed, so reagent stock-outs are predicted rather than discovered.

Turnaround and quality reporting

Turnaround time by test and by bench, plus repeat and rejection rates — the measures that tell you whether the lab is actually performing.

Who it is for

Hospital laboratories, standalone private laboratories and diagnostic chains operating across several sites.

Common questions

Can it connect to our analysers?

Analyser interfacing is supported where the instrument provides an interface. Where it does not, structured manual entry with validation keeps the record reliable.

Can we run it as a standalone private laboratory?

Yes. OPES Lab works for an independent laboratory serving walk-in patients and referring clinicians, with its own billing and result delivery.

How do patients receive their results?

Through the clinician who ordered them, and — where the facility enables it — through the patient portal. Printed reports carry your laboratory's letterhead.

Does it handle both routine and urgent work?

Yes. Urgent requests are prioritised on the bench worklist and tracked separately in turnaround reporting, so 'urgent' means something measurable.

Connected to the rest of the ecosystem

Every OPES system shares one patient identity through OPESCare, so a patient moving between departments or facilities keeps one record rather than accumulating several.
