Patients Admission
Optimise the requests entry and demographic data using the most appropriate method at any given time. Register requests manually, via a form, via graphical sheet readers or via remote centres.
Include tests individually, via profiles, associated tests or programmed rules. Define test panels according to your needs and achieve personalised and quick data entry.
You will be able to register batch requests by requesting a set of tests for a group of patients, without the need to repeat the process for each one of them.
Configure yourself the request number format to identify each of the samples by combining the current month, year, day or freely set a series. You can also specify an automatic increment when registering each request.
Obtain the expected collection date of the analytical test according to the processing time of each test, taking into account the working calendar defined for your laboratory.
Print out Request Forms with detailed patient information and tests to be performed sorted by section or by container.
Write comments on the request or establish possible diagnoses. You may indicate the physiological group or patient condition, such as pregnancy or puerperium, which may vary from the normal reference values for some of the tests.
By creating Groups of Requests you will have the possibility of grouping different related requests, with the aim of generating a single Results Report that allows you to obtain the information in columns by tests or by samples, as well as the introduction of all your results from a unified screen.
Worksheets
Organise your laboratory tasks using worksheets
ZENDO Lims® allows you to create different models with different ways of data selection. Freely set up the tests that will be part of each worksheet and choose between different presentation layouts (summarised, detailed, columnar, etc.).
Enter easily the test results contained in each worksheet using the grid mode.
Through Closed Worksheets Management You will be able to generate worksheets by section and by laboratory, including only the requests and tests existing at the time of its creation. Throughout the Worksheets management you will control, in real time, the status in which they are, and you will have the possibility of expanding, deleting, printing out, entering and validating the results of all tests that are part of each generated worksheet.
Results and Validation
Set up results selection filters according to a multitude of criteria: date ranges or log numbers, pending results, by company, provenance, petitioners, tests, worksheets, urgent, groups, sub-groups, profiles, pathology, etc. A complete and intuitive screen design allows you to visualise the status of each result with all the information available for its evaluation.
Results can be displayed as numbers, free text, comments, calculations, masks, and coded results. Using the Speech Recognition you will be able to add them comfortably.
ZENDO Lims® allows you to control conveniently the previous results from patients while introducing the current ones.
Attach images to requests or tests using the Multimedia Module , by integrating them fully into the report (karyotypes, proteinograms, photographs, evolutionary charts, functional tests representations , etc.).
ZENDO Lims® keeps a complete record of all the actions carried out, which guarantees the traceability of the request.
RESULTS VALIDATION
The Results Validation Module will allow us an exhaustive review of all the results obtained by the laboratory. You will be able to validate manually or automatically through a simple selection process of results by multiple criteria such as: out of range results, normal results, Delta Check control, pending results, etc. By configuring Smart Rules you could define at your wish, without limitation, all those cases of interest that it needs for the results validation.
On-Line Communications
Connect your analysers and avoid errors arising from manual transcription of results.
ZENDO Lims® is prepared for simultaneous communication with several analysers by means of different, fully independent threads.
Work with manual or real time loading lists.
Connect the analysers remotely . In such manner, you can control each analyser from any location other than the physical location where the analyzer is.
HOST QUERY
When working in real time and with barcodes, ZENDO Lims® sends automatically the workload to the analyser. In the same way, the results are incorporated directly into the corresponding request, which speeds up enormously the daily work.
Clinical Reports
Personalise the report to your taste, modifying any aspect related to presentation and structure. Configure as many headers and formats as you consider appropriate, without any kind of limitation ,and keep the look of your laboratory's clinical reports including fonts, colours, logos and digitised signatures.
Include images , evolution graphs, functional tests representations, comments, etc. Organise the presentation of the tests in groups and subgroups, define reference intervals according to gender, age or patient´s diagnosis, assign several units to show the results, set up page breaks or include different methods of analysis.
Issue automatically reports in blocks or groups of reports, also it is possible to set up multiple selection criteria.
Print out provisional or final reports, including all tests or only those that have results or are validated.
You will have the possibility of Sign Digitally the Results Reports by using an electronic certificate to prove the authenticity and integrity of the data in the document.
Include QR Codes with all the necessary information to check the test result OnLine for its correct verification.
Tasks Supervisor
Total Control. The Task Supervisor gives you an overview of the overall status of the Laboratory.
The system will show you graphically, both by requests or by tests, the situation according to its status (pending, incomplete, completed, validated, with incidents, reported, etc.). You can view all this information according to different criteria (time periods, routine, urgent, external laboratories, worksheets, etc.) and break it down by centres, areas and sections.
In addition, you can modify and validate interactively the results, as well as generate results reports.
Appointments Module
The Appointments or Planner Module offers us the possibility of generating scheduled appointments for sampling on a specific date. We will be able to create, modify, review and organise these appointments through an interactive calendar.

By using the import tool, you can enter the data from your old Lims programme and work with the system in the shortest possible time.
You could import data from text files, spreadsheets, Access databases, XML or CSV files.
Reference Laboratories
Through the Reference Laboratories Module you can graphically control all the details related to the sending and reception of tests, visualising the number of tests that were sent, were received or are still pending, its cost or its estimated invoicing, filtered by external laboratory.
In detail, you will monitor the expected delivery date of each result, as well as those which results have arrived after the deadline or are pending to be received. In addition, a timeline has been implemented where you can conveniently view all the results expected for a given date.
Filter those requests that contain tests which were sent out to external laboratories.
Identify easily the submitted tests for each request by assigning a different colour to each reference laboratory.
Print out lists of submitted tests.
Smart Rules
The new Smart Rules Management Module allows us to automate tasks in the laboratory by creating Search, Handling, Printing and Alerts rules through complex conditions and actions.
By using Search Rules you can customise the requests and results selection by using advanced queries that link request, samples, tests and data result.
Through Handling Rules you can indicate actions such as, adding and deleting tests, modifying results and comments, repeating tests, validating results, etc., on the requests that meet the chosen status.
The Printing Rules provide us with the possibility to generate results reports, request lists, worksheets or advanced statistics depending on the conditions set.
With the Alarm Rules you will be able to send e-mail alerts, register messages in the system or create incidents, for those requests and results that meet the set criteria.
