The project is developed a common architecture and facilities for data exchange among the clinical laboratories throughout Europe. The application workpackages, which address the various functionalities of the laboratory, are connected to an open architecture which will provide the overall integration of services. The communication and telematics aspects of the project focus on standards for data transmission among laboratories and with the clinical/administrative information systems. The Specification of the OpenLabs Architecture for an open Clinical Laboratory Information System (OpenLIS) have been published at the conclusion of the project. The project demonstrator modules encompassed: automatic enforcement of locally agreed guidelines of protocols for laboratory investigation/monitoring of patient in high dependency units; dynamic scheduling of laboratory investigations so that additional tests may be scheduled or deleted based on results available; avanced management facilities providing support for management of scheduling both workflow and staff deployment in the laboratory; a knowledge based system which draws attention to the interference of drug therapy with a patients laboratory results; a local and remote fault diagnosis and corrective maintenance of equipment systems, amongst others.
