A web application to support the coordination of reflexive, interpretative toxicology testing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reflexive laboratory testing workflows can improve the assessment of patients receiving pain medications chronically, but complex workflows requiring pathologist input and interpretation may not be well-supported by traditional laboratory information systems. In this work, we describe the development of a web application that improves the efficiency of pathologists and laboratory staff in delivering actionable toxicology results.

Method

Before designing the application, we set out to understand the entire workflow including the laboratory workflow and pathologist review. Additionally, we gathered requirements and specifications from stakeholders. Finally, to assess the performance of the implementation of the application, we surveyed stakeholders and documented th
