Pathology lab workflow, integration, and connectivity solutions

Break down lab barriers with connected and integrated instrumentation and software.


Connected and integrated pathology lab streamlines workflow and can provide key insights into lab performance

Reach a new height of operational effectiveness with navify® products for pathology labs

The pathology lab suite of navify products for pathology labs is focused on integrating the multiple software products a lab needs to use and the multiple types of instrumentation it needs to run patient samples.

Once connected, efficiency and operational gains can be made. The ability to track patient samples and utilize lab data help increase patient safety and support continued lab improvements and growth, sometimes without adding any headcount.

The navify® Pathology Lab Advantage solution supports support workflow automation within the anatomical pathology laboratory through:1) Tracking and specimen chain of custody throughout the life of a sample.2) Improved patient safety by reducing errors and minimizing the risk of mislabeling, positive patient identification, and single- piece flow.3) State-of-the-art informatics and business intelligence.4) Promoting productivity and a lean workflow.
navify® Pathology Lab Hub delivers a solution which provides universal LIS connectivity for Roche's product portfolio and competitors’ products used in Anatomic Pathology laboratories. navify® Pathology Lab Hub may be used in histology and/or cytology and/or molecular labs. navify® Pathology Lab Hub addresses the connectivity needs of Roche's customers by providing a single interface point for all data routing between LIS systems and their product portfolio, and by routing data without manipulation or changes to the message content.The intended use of navify® Pathology Lab Hub is the following:Connect laboratories' LIS system(s) and product portfolio through a single middlewareReceive order information from the customer’s LIS system and route this to appropriate productsRoute data/information (status updates, reports, analysis data, etc.) back to the customers’ LIS system(s)Route data within Roche customers’ product portfolioThe different types of information are listed below.TypeDescriptionPatientData about a patient such as name, surname, date of birth, gender, contact, relationship with their cases...CaseData about thecase such as number, date of registration, demographic, relationship with their specimens, host identifier that has called the case...ContainerThe sample is allocated in the container. Some of the fields are the identification of the specimen, the location of the sample, the sample type (organ, tissue, mass, biopsy, liquid,...), relationship with their blocks,...SpecimenTissue sample held in a container.BlockThe block contains a piece of tissue to be evaluated. Some of the fields are the identification of the block or cassette, their status (marked, verified, embedded), relationship with their slides,...SlideIt contains one of the cuts which has been made from the sample. Some of the fields are the identification of the slide, the orientation of the cut, the stain protocol performed, its status (printed, staining, stained, assembled), location of pictures that have been done on the slide.Types of information processed through navify® Pathology Lab Hub.
The navify® Analytics for Pathology Lab makes use of data that has been aggregated and prepared by navify® Analytics platform to provide operational insights for customers with navify® Pathology Lab Advantage Workflow Solutions in laboratories, including but not limited to:Object volumesStain volumesSender volumesCompleted/pending case countsTurnaround timeAverage slides/caseIdentification of quality issue typesDashboards, calculations, and data display methods are subject to change.The dashboards available to an individual user are based on the user's defined role. Multi-site dashboards provide aggregated visualizations of multiple laboratories. Single- site dashboards provide visualizations of an individual laboratory.

If we introduced single-piece flow protocols, barcode tracking and automation, and if we placed the power of improving the lab in the hands of our front-line employees, we knew we could improve laboratory efficiency and help preserve patient safety.
