Clinical workflow governance that watches and warns.
PathTest monitors your pathology HL7 message streams, detects workflow deviations the moment they occur, and generates the continuous evidence your accreditation body requires — without touching a single clinical system.

Critical
Workflow deviation detected — crossmatch routing
The problem
Pathology networks are flying blind on workflow integrity.
Critical deviations go undetected until it's too late
When integration engine patches or system upgrades alter clinical message routing, the change can go undetected for hours — long after it has affected the quality of test results and clinical decisions.
Accreditation evidence preparation is manual and costly
Quality Managers across pathology networks spend weeks before every accreditation cycle manually assembling evidence from disconnected systems — a process that is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale.
Validating changes is slow and risky
Accepting a vendor patch or system upgrade without a validated evidence trail creates compliance exposure. The absence of structured regression evidence delays safe deployment and creates bottlenecks across the network.
PathTest connects to your existing pathology message infrastructure in a passive, read-only mode.
1
Connect
From monitoring to accreditation evidence — automatically.
All messages are processed with patient identifiers immediately removed at the boundary.
2
Protect
PathTest connects to your existing pathology infrastructure in read-only mode. No configuration changes to your clinical systems. No disruption to clinical workflows.
Your Quality Manager defines the expected behaviour for each critical workflow.
HOW IT WORKS
3
Baseline
PathTest continuously compares observed workflow behaviour against Approved baselines.
4
Detect
Every event is automatically recorded in an immutable evidence store and report.
5
Evidence
Platform
Built for pathology. Not adapted for it.
PathTest understands clinical workflows at the message level — the kind of precision that generic monitoring tools cannot provide.
Read-only by design
Passive monitoring — zero clinical risk
PathTest monitors your existing pathology message infrastructure without making any changes to it. There is no path from PathTest back into your clinical systems — this is an architectural certainty, not a setting. Which means it carries no clinical risk, and does not require clinical governance approval to deploy.

Accreditation evidence generation
Every governance event is automatically written to a tamper-evident, cryptographically signed evidence store. NATA, UKAS, CAP, and ISO-aligned PDF reports are generated on demand.
NATA · UKAS · CAP · ISO
Automatic interface discovery
PathTest builds a live map of your pathology message dependencies from observed traffic — revealing the full picture of how your systems interconnect, including interfaces that may not be documented.
Real-time deviation detection
PathTest continuously compares live workflow behaviour against your approved baselines. The moment a deviation appears — routing, timing, field population — your team is alerted.
Continuous monitoring
Regression & validation support
Before accepting a system patch or upgrade, PathTest compares behaviour against your approved baseline and produces a structured evidence report. Faster, safer change acceptance with a documented trail.
Multi-site governance view
One platform across your entire pathology network. Aggregate compliance posture, site-level drill-down, and accreditation readiness at a glance for laboratory directors and CIOs.
Compliance & quality
The accreditation evidence your inspectors actually want to see.
ISO 15189:2022 now requires laboratories to provide continuous evidence of workflow assurance — not just point-in-time snapshots. PathTest is purpose-built to generate that evidence automatically, from live operational data, across every critical workflow in your network.
Every deviation, every baseline approval, every monitoring gap, every validation run is recorded in an immutable evidence store and available for inspection at any time — eliminating the manual evidence preparation burden ahead of accreditation cycles.
Supports NATA (Australia), UKAS (United Kingdom), CAP (United States) and ISO 15189 compliance readiness
Monitoring gaps automatically disclosed in reports as required by accreditation standards
Evidence records are cryptographically signed, immutable, and retained for 10 years.

Quality & validation
Better testing. Faster change acceptance. Stronger compliance.
PathTest gives your quality, IT and informatics teams the structured evidence and real-time visibility they need to confidently manage clinical system changes — without compromising patient safety.
01
Continuous baseline validation
PathTest establishes statistically validated baselines for every critical pathology workflow. Any deviation from those baselines — in routing, timing, or message content — is detected and recorded immediately, giving your team a continuous quality assurance layer.
Validation workflow
Baseline established and approved by QM
System change scheduled
Evidence report generated — deviations documented
PathTest observes change in test environment
Change accepted with full audit trail
PathTest accelerates change acceptance without compromising the evidence trail your accreditation body requires.
02
Structured regression evidence before every change
When a vendor patch or system upgrade is scheduled, PathTest compares behaviour against the approved baseline and produces a structured, dated evidence report. Your change management team has documented proof — not just a verbal sign-off.
03
Faster, safer patch and upgrade acceptance
With PathTest, your team can observe the effect of a change against a validated baseline before committing to production. Detected deviations are documented with the specific message and field involved, so your IT team can resolve the exact issue — accelerating safe acceptance.
04
Audit-ready gap disclosure
If a monitoring gap occurs — whether planned maintenance or unexpected — PathTest records it automatically and includes mandatory disclosure in any evidence report covering that period. Your inspectors see a complete, honest record.
Purpose-built for every stakeholder in pathology governance.
Who we serve
PathTest serves multiple roles within a pathology network — each with a view calibrated to their responsibilities.
Automated evidence generation
Every workflow event is automatically captured and stored as accreditation evidence. Your NATA, UKAS or CAP report is ready when you need it — not after weeks of manual preparation.
Instant deviation alerts
When a workflow deviates from its approved baseline, your team receives an immediate notification with the specific workflow, message type, and deviation detail.
Immutable audit trail
Every evidence record is cryptographically signed and locked for 10 years. Inspectors can verify that records have not been altered since the moment they were created.
Baseline capture tools
A guided workflow helps you define the expected behaviour for each critical clinical process. AI assists with suggestions — you review and approve every threshold.
Global standards
Aligned with the accreditation standards that matter — worldwide.
Pathology accreditation is a global obligation. Whether your laboratory operates under NATA in Australia, UKAS in the United Kingdom, CAP in the United States, or another ISO-aligned body, the underlying requirement is the same: continuous, documented evidence of workflow governance. PathTest is designed to generate that evidence.
ISO 15189:2022 represents a significant shift in how accreditation bodies expect laboratories to demonstrate quality management — moving from point-in-time inspection snapshots to continuous, real-time workflow assurance evidence. PathTest was purpose-built for this requirement.
PathTest is a clinical IT governance tool that supports compliance readiness. It is not certified, endorsed, or approved by NATA, UKAS, CAP, ISO, or any regulatory body.
