This study introduces a new protocol language and system for managing laboratory requests. It enables automated patient data analysis and decision-making in laboratory diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Informatics
  • Laboratory Medicine
  • Medical Software Engineering

Background:

  • Laboratory service requests require dynamic management during patient diagnostics and monitoring.
  • Existing systems may lack flexibility in adapting to evolving patient data and clinical decision-making needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel protocol language and an OS/2-based system for laboratory protocol compilation, interpretation, and execution.
  • To enable automated modification and monitoring of laboratory service requests based on patient data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specialized protocol language for laboratory diagnostics.
  • Implementation of an OS/2-based system for protocol execution, interfaced with SQL-supporting patient databases.
  • Utilizing pattern specifications within patient data to trigger Boolean variables for decision logic.

Main Results:

  • A functional system for executing laboratory protocols assigned to patients.
  • The system supports dynamic protocol execution based on scheduled events or real-time data changes (e.g., test requests, result arrivals).
  • Patient data is structured into test procedure groups, allowing for pattern matching and Boolean variable activation.

Conclusions:

  • The presented protocol language and system offer a robust framework for automating and optimizing laboratory workflows.
  • Enhanced decision-making in patient care through intelligent, data-driven protocol execution.
  • Facilitates seamless integration with existing patient databases supporting SQL.
