LigoLab Features

Order Entry

LigoLab provides a centralized order entry module that supports reflex testing across departments. The platform automatically generates and prints unique barcodes for every specimen and document. It includes built-in duplicate patient profile detection and validation, ensuring each order is recorded accurately and consistently within the lab’s workflow system.

Front-End Validation

The platform provides live validation at order creation, including patient eligibility checking and insurance discovery, reducing denials and lost revenue. LigoLab verifies patient addresses using Whitepages and USPS validation and allows client-specific rules on any order entry field, ensuring data accuracy. This approach minimizes errors and maintains consistency across all lab orders.

Specimen Tracking

LigoLab eliminates handwriting errors and lost specimens by tracking every sample with a unique identifier. The software monitors parent-child relationships and workflow stages, including accessioning, processing, staining, case assembly, reporting, and archival. It supports 1D and 2D barcodes and RFID tagging, improving turnaround times, specimen traceability, and workflow efficiency for all laboratory operations.

Audit And Versioning

The software maintains a robust audit trail across all entities, including orders, cases, reports, and clients. LigoLab tracks changes by timestamp, user, transaction type, and old and new values. Term-based versioning ensures historical data, such as reference ranges and AOE questions, remain accurate, supporting compliance and providing transparency throughout laboratory processes.

Reporting

The platform consolidates report building, templating, and delivery into one system with pixel-level accuracy. LigoLab produces well-organized, integrated reports and delivers them according to client preferences through provider portals, EHRs, secure email, fax, SMS, IVR, in-house printing, or remote print servers, increasing operational efficiency and enhancing the lab’s professional presentation.

“Reliable with custom-fit tool”

Pros

I'm impressed by its reliability, traceability and quick usability. I only recently noticed how tailored our LIS is compared with examples shown in training videos. It really meets our laboratory's requirements.

Cons

At times working with the team to address particular requirements felt tough for me. Because the LIS is so configurable I occasionally saw duplicate approaches put in place or had to find a workaround to get what we actually needed.

“responsive and professional support”

Pros

When I'm putting together a new test or bringing new production equipment online, I really appreciate being able to work directly with the tool's support team. They keep ticket progress visible, usually respond quickly with fast turnaround and are genuinely friendly while still being highly professional.

Cons

Occasionally setting up or training on a new test feels overwhelming but I'm supported by an excellent team especially Drew Taphorn who walks me through each step and explains the reasoning behind his methods.

“Easy setup & evolving features”

Pros

Navigating and setting up this system feels very easy to me and the speed at which our initial client went live really impressed me. I also appreciate that the product keeps evolving and collaborates with customers to add useful new features.

Cons

Report templates have some limitations and I notice inserting a single image can leave awkward white space, scheduled batch faxing would be useful though it's not supported yet.
