For lab directors
Seven required fields on release, three deliberately excluded. No review before QC passes. No release before every live result is called — counted over the run’s current results, so a re-run can’t ship yesterday’s decisions.
Here is everything that checks it first.
Each one maps to a gate — a behavior of the software, not a policy you have to police. None of the three needs your vigilance at six on a Friday to hold, which is rather what a gate is for.
Held by the release gate. Seven fields are required before any report releases — lab name, laboratory director, license number (the CLIA number, for US labs), address, phone, email, logo — and the refusal names the ones missing. Fax, website and tax ID are deliberately excluded.
Held at import. A pathogen imported from the shared catalogue arrives with instrument name, channel and both CT bounds blank and marked Required on your lab’s copy. A copied window would be a guess about somebody else’s instrument, and a CT window guessed wrong is a wrong clinical result.
Held by versioning. A corrected result file makes version 2 — a reason typed by hand, who amended it, when, and a supersedes line on the face of the document. Version 1 stays on the record, superseded.
Guarantees, not settings. A report missing any of the seven required fields does not release. A run whose QC is pending cannot be reviewed — the sequence is enforced, the call stays human. And release counts calls against the run’s current result IDs, so three uncalled results block it by name, and a re-import puts the count back to nought.
Version 2 carries a mandatory reason, who amended it, when, and a supersedes line on the face of the document. The order, run and specimen binding is read-only — a correction can never move a result to a different patient. There is no release override anywhere; there is an amendment, and an amendment leaves a trail.
When the approver and the releaser are the same person, the software says so — once, in writing — and lets you through. Staffing is your policy; our job is making sure it happened on purpose.

Growth pays for itself at 13 reports a month; Unlimited at 31 — at 30 they tie at $199. Prices in USD and exclude VAT and sales tax.
You keep your LIS. The interface is a CSV export you already produce: the order manifest your LIS exports. And the exit matches the entrance: CSV comes back out of every table, whenever you like. There is no integration project hiding in this paragraph.
