EHR-to-LIS Electronic Lab Requisition Gateway
Eliminate manual paper requisition transcription, automate specimen tube barcode generation at the point of care, and synchronize test results directly into patient charts.
Paper laboratory requisitions cost clinical organizations millions in lost revenue, delayed diagnoses, and lost specimen custody. When clinic doctors scribble orders on paper forms, lab accessioning clerks must manually re-type patient demographics, test codes, and billing information into the Laboratory Information System (LIS). This manual bottleneck causes up to a 6.2% data transcription error rate—leading to mislabeled tubes, wrong tests performed, and rejected insurance claims. TravaLabs provides a turnkey HL7/FHIR requisition engine that converts provider EHR orders into barcode-labeled, accessioned diagnostic workflows in real time.
Key results

- < 1 Sec — Electronic Order Transmission Latency
- 100% — Discrete Diagnostic Result Matching
- HL7 / FHIR — Certified EHR Interoperability Standards
Core capabilities
- Bi-Directional HL7 e.Orders & e.Results Bridge — Translates EHR outbound ORM messages into LIS-compatible accessioning records and returns finalized PDF and discrete OBX lab results directly to doctor inboxes.
- Point-of-Care Barcode Generation & Thermal Printing — Automates immediate printing of standardized 2D Datamatrix barcode labels at the phlebotomy draw station, identifying exact tube type, additives, and volume.
- Pre-Analytical Medical Necessity Rule Check — Cross-checks ordered laboratory CPT panels against regional Medicare LCD and commercial diagnostic guidelines before requisition transmission.
- Specimen Routing & Reference Lab Split Orders — Intelligently routes in-house chemistry tests to local POL analyzers while generating split electronic requisitions for esoteric send-out tests (Quest, Labcorp).
Frequently asked questions
How difficult is it to connect TravaLabs to an existing EHR system?
TravaLabs features pre-built API connectors for major ambulatory EHRs (Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, NextGen), allowing technical deployment within 14 business days.
Does TravaLabs support discrete data results matching?
Yes. In addition to PDF lab reports, TravaLabs parses individual biomarker numerical values (e.g. Glucose, Hemoglobin A1C, TSH) directly into discrete EHR observation fields for longitudinal graphing.
