Avalon LIS Toxicology Module
Connect Toxicology Testing from Instrument to Final Report
Avalon’s toxicology LIS module connects screening, reflex testing, LC-MS/MS results, specimen-validity testing, review, and reporting within Avalon LIS.
Built for pain management and toxicology laboratories, the module applies rules configured for laboratories, clients, and ordering providers while keeping quantitative findings, prescribed medications, drug and metabolite relationships, historical results, and chain-of-custody details together.
Bring instrument results into the LIS workflow.
Apply laboratory, client, and provider criteria.
Support chain of custody, approval, and e-signatures.
From specimen to signed report
One Connected Toxicology Workflow
Bring instrument results, specimen-validity data, configurable testing rules, review, and final reporting into one Avalon LIS workflow.
Receive and Validate
Receive LC-MS/MS results and record specimen-validity findings, including creatinine, specific gravity, pH, and oxidant or adulterant testing.
Apply Rules and Reflex
Use panels, cutoffs, and testing criteria tailored to each laboratory, client, and ordering provider to guide screening, reflex, and confirmation workflows.
Review, Approve, and Report
Review quantitative findings, medication and metabolite context, historical results, and chain-of-custody records before approval and electronic signature.
Pain management laboratories
Keep Complex Toxicology Testing Connected
Avalon LIS brings instrument data, configured testing logic, specimen context, technical review, and reporting together so laboratory teams can manage specialized toxicology workflows without disconnecting results from the patient record.
- Integrate LC-MS/MS results, including quantitative drug and metabolite findings
- Tailor panels, cutoffs, and reflex criteria to each laboratory, client, and ordering provider
- Review prescribed medications and parent-drug or metabolite relationships
- Track specimen validity, chain of custody, and relevant historical results
- Complete reviewer approval, electronic signature, and configurable final reporting
Core capabilities
Toxicology LIS Module Capabilities
Configure the workflow around your laboratory’s instruments, testing rules, review process, and reporting requirements.
LC-MS/MS Instrument Integration
Bring quantitative drug and metabolite results into Avalon through configurable instrument interfaces.
Reflex and Confirmation Testing
Initiate additional or confirmatory testing when configured screening results and laboratory-defined criteria are met.
Specimen Validity Testing
Record and report creatinine, specific gravity, pH, oxidant, adulterant, and related specimen-validity findings.
Client and Provider Rules
Configure panels, cutoffs, reflex criteria, result flags, and reporting preferences for individual clients or ordering providers.
Medication and Metabolite Context
Review quantitative findings alongside prescribed medications and relevant parent-drug or metabolite relationships.
Historical Result Trending
Place current findings in the context of relevant prior toxicology results without separating them from the patient record.
Chain of Custody
Maintain a traceable record of specimen collection, transfer, receipt, handling, testing, review, and final reporting.
Reviewer Approval and E-Signatures
Route completed results through documented reviewer approval and electronic signature before release.
Configurable Toxicology Reports
Present drugs, metabolites, validity findings, consistency indicators, and supporting detail in a readable final report.
Common questions
Toxicology LIS Module FAQ
Is this a standalone toxicology system?
No. It is a configurable specialty module within Avalon LIS, keeping toxicology testing connected with the laboratory’s existing patient, order, result, review, and reporting workflows.
Does Avalon support LC-MS/MS workflows?
Yes. Avalon can interface with LC-MS/MS instruments and bring quantitative drug and metabolite results into the LIS workflow. Interface scope is configured for the laboratory’s instruments and testing process.
Can the module manage reflex and confirmation testing?
Yes. Criteria configured for each laboratory, client, and ordering provider can guide additional, reflex, or confirmatory testing based on configured screening results and workflow rules.
What specimen-validity testing can Avalon manage?
The module can record and report creatinine, specific gravity, pH, oxidant, adulterant, and related specimen-validity findings as part of the toxicology result record.
Can rules differ by client or ordering provider?
Yes. Panels, cutoffs, reflex criteria, result flags, and reporting preferences can be configured around laboratory requirements for individual clients or providers.
Does Avalon support chain of custody and result approval?
Yes. The workflow can maintain chain-of-custody documentation and route completed results through reviewer approval and electronic signature before release.
Does the module replace clinical interpretation?
No. Avalon LIS supports testing workflow, result organization, configured comparison logic, and reporting. Interpretation and patient-care decisions remain with qualified professionals.
