Laboratory & results
The trip back to collect a result is optional now.
Biomatrix keeps every lab request, result and report linked to the right patient — and lets you release approved results to them digitally, with a record of exactly when it happened.
The path of a result
Five steps, five accountable people.
Each step is a deliberate action by someone with permission to take it. The record shows who, and when.
- 1
Doctor
Request
The test is requested from the consultation. It reaches the lab already attached to the patient, the visit and the requesting clinician.
- 2
Nurse / phlebotomy
Collect
The sample is recorded against the request, so there is never a question of whose tube is whose.
- 3
Laboratory
Upload
Values are entered and the report attached — PDF, image or other supported file — then marked ready for review.
- 4
Authorised clinician
Approve
Nothing leaves the hospital until someone with release permission has reviewed it. Approval is recorded with name and time.
- 5
Any authorised staff
Release
'Send to patient' delivers the result through the channels you've enabled: secure portal, email or an integrated messaging service.

Inside the record
The result, the file and the history — together.
- Linked by default
- Results can't drift away from the patient they belong to. Doctors open them from the patient's timeline.
- Files, not photocopies
- Analyser printouts, scanned reports and images attach directly to the result.
- A release history
- Every result shows whether, when, how and by whom it was sent to the patient.
Safeguards
Fast for staff. Careful with patients.
Digital release is a convenience that only works if it's trustworthy. These controls are on by default.
Approval gate
Release permission is separate from upload permission.
Verified contact
Results go only to contact details recorded on the patient's profile.
Sensitive tests
Mark test types that must be discussed in person before release.
Full audit
Views, downloads and releases are logged for later review.
