We built a modern, modular LIMS on Next.js that delivers end‑to‑end workflows from patient intake to test execution and print‑ready reporting, augmented with AI‑powered analysis for triage, anomaly detection, and narrative result summaries. A seamless offline mode with local storage and later migrates to Firebase in one click, so teams can work when reliable internet can't be reached.

• •Order‑based test execution
  Central worklist with statuses: pending, sample_collected, in_progress, completed. Technologists can collect samples, perform tests, and complete results from a unified view.
• •Structured test forms
  Built‑in forms for extensive medical laboratory tests, all aligned to a type‑safe data model.
• •Print‑ready reporting
  Consistent PrintLayout and test‑specific print components ensure professional, branded output for patient results.
• •Operational dashboards
  At‑a‑glance KPIs (patients, tests), monthly targets with progress, monthly tests bar charts, and trend statistics using ApexCharts with dynamic theming.
• •Offline mode without backend
  LocalStorage fallback, storing patients, orders, and test executions across stages offline, plus a one‑click migration utility to push local data to Firebase later.
• •Smart data hooks
  Reusable hooks (useLabMetrics, useMonthlyTarget, useMonthlyTestsChart, useRecentTests) power widgets with graceful fallback to mock data on failure.
• •Modern UX
  Responsive Tailwind UI, dark mode, componentized cards and widgets, and accessible tables.
• •Performance niceties
  Dynamic import of heavy charting libs, App Router layouts, asset optimization.

AI‑Native Enhancements

• •AI triage & risk prediction
  Predicts likely turnaround‑time delays and flags critical results using historical lab throughput, order priority, and patient context. Results are assistive and designed for clinician review- not a diagnosis.
• •Anomaly & QC detection
  Detects out‑of‑range results and instrument drifts (e.g., Westgard‑style checks) and prompts reflex testing rules.
• •Narrative result summaries
  Generates provider‑oriented and patient‑friendly summaries with clear ranges, flags, and next‑step considerations (configurable to your lab’s voice and disclaimers).
• •Cohort & population insights
  Trends by test type, demographics, and geography; identifies rising incidence patterns and seasonal spikes to aid planning.
• •Natural‑language analytics
  “Ask Halalab” chat for ad‑hoc questions (e.g., “Show STAT orders completed in <24h last week and their median TAT”), with derivations and source links.

Interoperability, Security & Compliance

• •Standards‑ready: HL7 v2 / FHIR exports, LOINC mapping, CPT/ICD support.
• •RBAC & audit: Fine‑grained roles (admin, technologist, pathologist), immutable audit logs, e‑signatures, review/attestation workflows.
• •Privacy & security: Least‑privilege access, encryption in transit/at rest, environment isolation. (HIPAA‑aligned practices; final compliance depends on deployment and BAAs.)

Extensibility & Operations

• •Instrument integrations: Pluggable drivers for common analyzers; CSV/ASTM/OEM adapters.
• •Scheduling & capacity: Bench load views, staffing hints, and predictive capacity alerts.
• •Multi‑tenant SaaS: Lab‑by‑lab isolation with shared platform efficiencies.
• •Offline‑first options: Optional PWA kiosk mode for collection sites with intermittent connectivity.

• •Faster bench operations: Clear execution worklist and status transitions reduce hand‑offs and ambiguity.
• •Consistent reporting: Print‑ready outputs minimize rework and standardize lab deliverables.
• •Frictionless offline mode: work offline seamlessly; migrate to Firebase later with one click.
• •Data‑driven decisions: AI‑assisted risk flags and trend insights improve prioritization and planning.
• •Maintainable growth: Strong TypeScript models and composable hooks make adding new tests or dashboards straightforward.
