Avalon Laboratory Information System
One LIS for Your Entire Laboratory Workflow
Avalon LIS connects orders, specimens, instruments, results, billing, portals, and interfaces in one modular laboratory information system.
Backed by U.S.-based support, Avalon LIS can be configured around the way your laboratory actually works—without forcing every department into the same rigid process.
Work directly with a team that understands laboratory operations.
Add the capabilities your workflow needs.
Use the SQL Access Module for reporting and custom functions.
Streamline the Entire Laboratory Workflow
From the first order to final result delivery, Avalon keeps laboratory information connected while giving each operation the flexibility to configure its own process.
Order Entry & Accessioning
Capture patient, provider, test, and specimen information once, then keep it connected through accessioning, processing, review, and reporting.
Result Reporting
Build configurable laboratory reports and deliver released results through connected portals, interfaces, and secure reporting workflows.
Billing Support
Keep claims, patients, providers, tests, payments, and reporting tied to the LIS with Avalon Billing Intelligence.
Avalon LIS is designed to support the daily workflows laboratories rely on for ordering, testing, reporting, and communication. Hover to spread the screens. Click any screen to view full size.Swipe through screens. Tap any screen to view full size.
Avalon LIS Is Built Around Real Lab Operations
Laboratories need more than a place to store results. They need a system that helps coordinate specimens, departments, instruments, providers, billing, compliance, and secure communication.
- User-friendly interface: Simplify order entry, result review, communication, and day-to-day laboratory tasks.
- Secure access controls: Support physician outreach and internal user permissions with configurable access levels.
- Modular design: Add the tools your lab needs, including billing, portals, interfaces, quality control, microbiology, toxicology, pharmacogenomics, and more.
Core Avalon LIS Modules
Start with core LIS capabilities, then add modules around your laboratory’s testing, outreach, reporting, data, and operational needs.
Instrument Interfaces
Exchange patient demographics, test orders, QC data, and results with connected analyzers to reduce manual entry and transcription risk.
Web Outreach & Physician Portal
Let authorized providers place orders, retrieve results, review reports, and access patient information through a secure browser-based portal.
Patient Portal
Give patients secure access to released results, downloadable reports, notifications, and—when enabled—patient-facing test ordering.
Quality Control
Collect QC data from interfaced instruments, apply Westgard or custom rules, and produce Levey-Jennings reports for review and audits.
Microbiology
Connect microbiology analyzers with Avalon LIS and support specialized result, organism, and compliance reporting without duplicate entry.
Pain Management & Toxicology
Configure orders, confirmations, result review, and client-ready reports for toxicology and pain-management testing workflows.
SQL Database Access
Give authorized users direct read access to the Avalon SQL database for custom reports, queries, and laboratory-specific functions.
Direct-to-Consumer Testing
Keep patient registration, digital intake, collection-kit tracking, orders, results, and optional Avalon Insights reports in one connected DAT workflow.
Avalon Billing Intelligence
Verify insurance details, apply payer rules, process and track claims, manage patient billing, and monitor revenue-cycle activity inside Avalon LIS.
Interfaces, Portals, AI, and Reporting in One LIS Ecosystem
Extend Avalon LIS with interfaces, portals, and source-referenced AI-assisted reporting tools that stay connected to the laboratory workflow.
EMR / EHR Connectivity
Exchange orders, demographics, and results with connected healthcare systems through HL7, FHIR, and API-based workflows.
Avalon Insights AI
Add source-referenced, AI-assisted interpretation pages to completed results, providing educational context while preserving the original laboratory report. Designed to support—not replace—clinical review.
Client & Doctor Portals
Give authorized physicians and clients browser-based ordering, secure result retrieval, cumulative reporting, and patient-level access based on assigned permissions.
Flexible Financing Options
CSS offers financing options to help laboratories move forward with advanced LIS capabilities while managing upfront cost.
- Leasing options: Available for IBM hardware and CSS software through IBM Global Financing.
- Multi-vendor solutions: Flexible payment options may be available for broader laboratory technology needs.
- Scalable configuration: Start with the modules your lab needs now and expand as your workflow grows.
Built for Growing Laboratories
Avalon LIS can be configured around your lab’s workflow, whether you need core LIS functionality, advanced modules, portals, interfaces, billing support, or AI-enhanced reporting.
