Changelog
What has changed in LabPilot, newest first.
LabFlow is now LabPilot
- The product has a new name: LabPilot — your lab on autopilot. How it works has not changed.
Offline bench, patient portal and insurance claims
- Offline bench: keep entering results on an encrypted copy of the worklist when the network is down, and send them when it is back.
- Patient portal: patients sign in with a one-time code to follow their orders, download reports and pay bills.
- Online payments through the laboratory's own Stripe account.
- Insurance claims: batch claims, record payer decisions and remittances, and export them as CSV or FHIR.
- Two-factor sign-in with an authenticator app, which a laboratory can require for administrators and pathologists.
- External quality assessment: record proficiency-testing schemes, rounds and results.
- A read-only FHIR R4 API that serves verified results to EMRs and registries.
- LOINC codes on tests and parameters.
- Clinical context recorded with each order.
- Archive patients without losing their history, and delete true duplicates.
- The same create, edit, archive and delete actions across every configuration record.
The in-app guide
- How to: step-by-step instructions for every task, showing each colleague which tasks their role can do.
- A guide to roles and permissions, and exactly one administrator per laboratory.
- A medico-legal notice on every report, identical on screen and in the PDF.
- API token scopes are enforced, so a read-only token cannot write.
Connect AI assistants
- Connect Claude and other MCP clients through OAuth, with a consent screen that names exactly what is being granted.
Operational alerts
- Alerts for turnaround targets that have passed, analysers that have gone quiet and reagents about to expire.
Logos and messaging from orders
- Upload the laboratory's logo for reports.
- Message a patient or referring doctor straight from an order.
Payment before results
- An optional rule that holds result entry until an order is paid.
Document control
- SOPs under version control, with training assigned against each version.
- Reminders for corrective actions that are overdue.
Shared-device sign-in and subscriptions
- Sign in on a bench terminal by scanning a QR code with your phone, without typing a password on it.
- Laboratory access tied to its subscription.
- Fixed: a suspended laboratory could still sign in.
Analyser interfacing
- Receive results from analysers over ASTM and HL7, matched to the right order and either filed automatically or held for review.
- Draft privacy policy and terms of service.
Critical results
- Delta checks and critical-value alerts.
- An escalation roster that moves an unacknowledged critical result to the next person.
Accounts, roles and API access
- My account: profile, password and notification settings.
- Custom roles built on the four base roles.
- Personal API tokens and an MCP endpoint.
Accounting, the referral network and reports
- Accounting: expenses, payments out, a journal, financial statements and a stakeholder ledger.
- Referral network: doctors, collection centres and reference laboratories, with their rates.
- Built-in operational, clinical and financial reports.
- Stock, home collection, master data, employees, microbiology and bulk catalog edits.
- Patient cards and bulk patient import.
- Branding, with a live preview of the report.
Installable app and notifications
- Install LabPilot as an app, with an offline notice when the network drops.
- Push notifications.
- Billing, quality control, equipment and staff accounts.
First version
