Middleware devices or software may be installed in communication with one or more test instruments and laboratory information systems. Once a sample has been taken from the patient and tested using testing equipment, the test results are passed through middleware to determine whether the particular result is acceptable, whether a retest is required, and additional sample collection. Or other information, such as patient history, test equipment history, and test results from other tests of the sample, to determine if the test is needed and if the currently ordered test is still needed. Analyzed in relation to the data. If the middleware determines the need for additional tests or retests, it may automatically create an order for such tests and reduce delays in manually reviewing test results.
