Trusted by NHS organisations, pathology providers, laboratories, and healthtech innovators, 6B delivers full-lifecycle TrakCare Lab Enterprise integration, from discovery and architecture through development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. We build secure, scalable integrations for electronic requesting, results delivery, analyser connectivity, clinical decision support, operational dashboards, and population health services.
Our team combines pathology workflow knowledge with expertise in HL7, FHIR, APIs, medical-device connectivity, terminology mapping, identity management, and clinical safety. We ensure requests, specimens, observations, reports, and alerts remain accurately linked to the correct patient and clinical team.
Understanding InterSystems TrakCare Lab Enterprise
InterSystems TrakCare Lab Enterprise is a browser-based laboratory management platform designed to support clinical laboratory services ranging from individual laboratories to large multi-site and national networks.
The platform supports the laboratory lifecycle from order sourcing and specimen collection through receipt, analytical processing, result validation, publication, and specimen storage. It also provides specimen tracking, laboratory information enquiry, quality oversight, operational reporting, and workload management capabilities.
TrakCare Lab Enterprise is built on InterSystems technology and provides connectivity across laboratory instruments, third-party EHRs, order communications systems, and other healthcare applications. Its enterprise architecture supports centralised information management while retaining the workflows required across different laboratories and services.
Our InterSystems TrakCare Lab Enterprise Integration Process
We begin with structured discovery involving pathology, clinical, operational, digital, technical, and governance stakeholders. Together, we define disciplines, workflows, users, data requirements, safety constraints, and intended outcomes.
Typical integrations include electronic test requests, acknowledgements, specimen tracking, analyser and middleware connectivity, preliminary and authorised results, critical-result alerts, reporting applications, analytics, and population health services.
We map information throughout the diagnostic pathway, including NHS numbers, local identifiers, orders, requesting locations, specimens, containers, accession numbers, test codes, observations, units, reference ranges, result statuses, comments, and reports.
Architecture may use HL7 v2, FHIR, APIs, integration engines, secure web services, analyser interfaces, middleware, or event-driven messaging. We define handling for administration updates, new and amended requests, specimen events, analyser results, preliminary findings, corrected reports, final results, cancellations, additional tests, duplicate transactions, patient merges, and failed messages.
For enterprise and multi-site deployments, integration design must also account for laboratory locations, specimen transfers, routing rules, shared test catalogues, workload distribution, and reporting responsibilities. TrakCare Lab Enterprise supports specimen traceability across healthcare systems and networks alongside high-volume enterprise laboratory workflows.
Reusable components accelerate delivery, including HL7 parsers, FHIR handlers, laboratory mappings, identity-matching services, validation rules, authentication modules, and routing pipelines. Secure testing validates patient matching, requests, specimens, terminology, units, reference ranges, permissions, audit trails, sequencing, failure recovery, and downtime reconciliation.
Before launch, we coordinate acceptance testing, clinical safety review, deployment, and documentation. After go-live, we monitor data flows, resolve issues, and maintain compatibility as TrakCare Lab Enterprise and connected NHS systems evolve.
Benefits of InterSystems TrakCare Lab Enterprise Integration
Clinicians gain faster access to requests, specimen updates, preliminary findings, and authorised results within established workflows. Structured electronic requesting improves information completeness and reduces avoidable transcription or ordering errors.
Laboratory teams benefit from less rekeying, stronger specimen traceability, and more consistent information across analysers, middleware, TrakCare Lab Enterprise, and downstream systems.
Patients benefit from faster and more reliable diagnostic pathways, particularly where urgent or complex results depend on accurate information exchange between multiple systems.
Operational teams gain improved visibility of workload, turnaround times, specimen activity, laboratory performance, quality indicators, and capacity. TrakCare Lab Enterprise includes operational data and reporting capabilities designed to support performance monitoring and laboratory service improvement.
Multi-site pathology services can standardise data flows, coordinate specimen movement, and improve access to consistent laboratory information across different locations.
For healthtech vendors, TrakCare Lab Enterprise integration provides a route into established enterprise pathology environments without creating unnecessary manual workflows.

Readiness checklist for InterSystems TrakCare Lab Enterprise Integration
- Define the laboratory workflows your integration will support, including requesting, specimen tracking, analyser connectivity, results reporting, alerts, or analytics.
- Identify the TrakCare Lab Enterprise services, EPR, PAS, order communications, middleware, analysers, and third-party platforms involved.
- Confirm available HL7 messages, FHIR resources, APIs, integration-engine connections, analyser protocols, and secure transfer methods.
- Map patient identifiers, orders, specimens, accession numbers, test codes, observations, result statuses, reference ranges, and reports.
- Confirm terminology mappings, source-of-truth responsibilities, authentication, permissions, network controls, and audit requirements.
- Prepare governance, DPIA, DSPT, DCB0129 or DCB0160 documentation and a testing plan covering failures, corrections, merges, downtime, and peak volumes.
- Agree deployment, supplier coordination, monitoring, incident management, change control, and ongoing support before production go-live.
