Amal AP-LIS
Built by a practicing pathologist around the way pathology labs actually work. Amal AP-LIS carries a case from accessioning to signed-out report with the structure, quality controls, and audit rigor of a CAP-inspected laboratory — without forcing the workflow to bend to the software.
01
The complete anatomic pathology workflow
Accessioning, part entry, grossing, blocks, and stain/slide items in one traceable hierarchy: Case → Part → Block → Slide. Cases move through explicit, visible statuses — accessioned, grossed, ready for pathologist, finalized, signed out — with staff and pathologist worklists routing work to the right person.
02
CAP-aligned synoptic reporting
The full suite of 55 CAP cancer protocol templates, entered interactively with question-level CAP guidance available in the workflow, then rendered directly into the report. Save drafts mid-protocol, resume, and regenerate with previous answers preserved.
03
Sign-out you can defend
Sign-out requires re-authentication and produces an immutable report version. Post-sign-out changes happen only through explicit addenda and reason-classified amendments; every released version is preserved, and nothing is ever silently overwritten.
04
QA and operational dashboards
Turnaround time, pending workload, case volumes, amendment trends, and slide-quality metrics — derived from actual workflow events, not manual tallies.
05
A complete audit trail
Every governed action — every edit, transition, print, and sign-out — emits an audit event. Filterable, site-scoped review surfaces with export, built for inspection readiness.
06
Multi-site by design
Site-scoped access with role and capability-based permissions, per-site configuration, and controlled cross-site visibility for organizations running more than one laboratory.
07
Labels and barcoding
Slide and specimen-container labels with QR codes, printed from the workflow with full print and reprint history.
08
Deployed your way
Delivered as containerized software, licensed per deployment, with per-laboratory branding and configuration.
Full capability list
Case management & workflow
