Avalon LIS EMR Interface Module

Connect Laboratory Orders and Results Across EMR/EHR Workflows

Avalon’s laboratory EMR interface supports uni-directional and bi-directional communication between the LIS and the systems your clients use. Help providers submit patient, order, and billing information while returning laboratory results through a connected workflow.

Flexible interface models

Choose the Direction That Fits the Workflow

Some clients need electronic result delivery. Others need a complete ordering and reporting connection. Avalon supports both interface models.

→

Uni-Directional EMR Interfaces

Deliver completed laboratory results from Avalon LIS to the client’s EMR/EHR through a connected interface workflow.

↔

Bi-Directional EMR Interfaces

Receive patient demographics, orders, and billing information from the client system, then return laboratory results to the same workflow.

A practical implementation path

From Interface Requirements to Connected Operations

Each connection should reflect the systems, data, and responsibilities involved—not a one-size-fits-all integration claim.

Map the workflow

Identify the EMR/EHR, required messages, data fields, direction, and client responsibilities.

Build and test

Configure the interface and validate orders, patient information, billing data, and results with the participating teams.

Go live with support

Move the connection into production with monitoring, troubleshooting, and long-term interface support from CSS.

Healthcare connectivity

Support Modern EMR/EHR Data Exchange

Avalon LIS can support healthcare connectivity through established interface methods selected around the client system and use case.

EMR / EHR

Vendor-specific interfaces are evaluated individually. Availability and scope can depend on the EMR/EHR product, version, data requirements, third-party access, and the client’s implementation.

Interface experience

Examples of EMR/EHR Environments

Avalon LIS interface projects can be scoped for systems such as these, based on each laboratory’s workflow, data, and vendor requirements.

eClinicalWorks

Kipu

Optum

Lifepoint Informatics

NextGen Healthcare

Oracle Health (Cerner)

Interface scope varies by project. Vendor and product names are trademarks of their respective owners. Availability, direction, data scope, version support, third-party access, and implementation requirements are evaluated individually.

Connected client service

Reduce Re-Entry and Keep Laboratory Data Moving

Connected interfaces help laboratories and providers exchange the information they need without relying on repetitive manual entry or disconnected result delivery.

Receive patient demographics and electronic laboratory orders
Return completed results to the provider’s existing workflow
Support billing information within a bi-directional interface
Reduce duplicate entry and the opportunities for transcription mistakes
Give clients a more convenient way to work with the laboratory

Interface scope matters. A vendor name alone does not define the project. CSS works with the laboratory and participating system teams to confirm direction, messages, data fields, testing, access, and rollout requirements before implementation.

Common questions

Laboratory EMR Interface FAQ

Which EMR and EHR systems can Avalon LIS interface with?

Examples include Epic, athenaOne, eClinicalWorks, Kipu, Optum, Lifepoint Informatics, NextGen Healthcare, and Oracle Health (Cerner). Final availability and scope depend on the product version, data requirements, third-party access, and each implementation.

What is a laboratory EMR interface?

It is a connection between a laboratory information system and a provider’s EMR or EHR that supports electronic exchange of orders, patient information, billing data, results, or a combination of those workflows.

What is the difference between uni-directional and bi-directional?

A uni-directional interface sends data in one direction, commonly laboratory results to an EMR. A bi-directional interface can receive patient and order information and return completed results.

Can Avalon connect with any EMR or EHR?

Avalon is designed for flexible healthcare connectivity, but each vendor, product version, message set, and client environment should be reviewed before interface scope is confirmed.

Does Avalon support HL7, FHIR, or API connectivity?

Avalon LIS can support HL7, FHIR, and API-based interface workflows depending on the systems and data requirements involved.

How does an interface project begin?

CSS starts by reviewing the client system, required data, interface direction, message workflow, testing responsibilities, and production support needs.
