Quantbit's LIS connector uses HL7 v2 messaging to connect ERPNext HISx with your laboratory's LIS. When a lab test is ordered in ERPNext HISx, an HL7 ORM (Order) message is sent to the LIS with patient details and test codes. When the lab completes and validates the result, an HL7 ORU (Result) message returns to ERPNext. The result values are populated automatically against the patient's pending lab order, the status is updated to Completed, and the treating doctor is notified. No one needs to manually transcribe values from the LIS printout into the patient record.
Yes. Quantbit's PACS connector creates a deep link from each radiology order in ERPNext HISx to the corresponding study in your PACS using the Study Instance UID. Clinicians click "View Images" in ERPNext and the DICOM study opens directly in the hospital's PACS viewer — without navigating to a separate PACS workstation or search portal. The radiologist's report text is also pulled from PACS and stored in ERPNext against the radiology order, making the complete clinical picture available in one place.
Connect your LIS, PACS, DICOM viewers, and pharmacy systems to ERPNext HISx. Lab results flow in automatically, radiology images link directly, and patient billing captures every service — without anyone re-entering data from one system to another.
A hospital is a network of specialist systems — each excellent at its specific job. ERPNext HISx is the hub that connects them so patient data, billing, and inventory are always complete and accurate.
Your Laboratory Information System handles sample tracking, analyser integration, and result validation — that is its strength. Our connector ensures those validated results flow immediately into the patient record in ERPNext HISx without anyone re-typing them.
Radiologists work in PACS. Clinicians work in the HIS. Without integration, both groups are working in isolation — the clinician cannot see the image, the radiologist cannot see the clinical history. Our connector bridges that gap.
Inpatient pharmacy and outpatient dispensing systems maintain their own drug inventory and dispensing records. Our connector keeps ERPNext HISx synchronized — every dispensed item is charged to the patient and deducted from pharmacy stock automatically.
For hospitals using a dedicated EMR for clinical documentation, our connector ensures that diagnoses, procedure codes, and clinical notes sync to ERPNext for billing accuracy and insurance claim completeness.
Insurance pre-authorization, claim submission, and settlement are a major workflow in any cashless hospital. Our connector integrates with major Indian TPAs and insurance portals to reduce manual claim processing.
ICU monitors, ventilators, and anaesthesia machines generate patient vital data continuously. For ICU and critical care settings, our connector can pull this data into the patient record at configurable intervals.
In a hospital, the cost of disconnected systems is not just operational inefficiency. It is delayed diagnosis, missed billing, and nurses spending their shift on data entry instead of patient care. These are the situations that made our healthcare integrations non-negotiable for the hospitals that deployed them.
A 180-bed private hospital in Pune was running a diagnostic laboratory that processed 300 to 400 test requests daily. The LIS validated and printed results, and a lab attendant was supposed to walk the printed reports to the relevant wards or the outpatient billing desk. On a normal day, this took 20 to 40 minutes per report batch. On busy days — particularly when the lab was overwhelmed with urgent samples from the ICU and the routine reports were deprioritized — it could take two to three hours before a treating doctor saw an outpatient's CBC result. Patients were sitting in the waiting area, the doctor could not proceed without the report, the billing counter could not generate the final bill, and the patient was getting frustrated. After the LIS to ERPNext HISx integration using HL7 messaging, validated results appear in the patient's ERPNext record within 90 seconds of the lab validating them. The attending doctor sees a notification, reviews the result, and the outpatient consultation can proceed immediately. The lab attendant no longer needs to carry printed reports between departments. Average outpatient turnaround time dropped from 52 minutes to 34 minutes — almost entirely from eliminating the physical report delivery delay.
A teaching hospital in Kolhapur had a well-functioning PACS system — radiologists loved it, image quality was excellent, reporting was thorough. The problem was on the clinical side. Junior doctors and registrars would order a CT scan for a patient, and the scan would be performed and reported by radiology within two to four hours. But the report lived in PACS. To read it, the clinician had to either (a) walk to the radiology department and ask for a printout, (b) log into PACS separately with their own credentials, or (c) call radiology on the phone to get a verbal summary. In a busy teaching hospital with rotating junior doctors who were not always sure of their PACS login credentials, option (c) was often what happened. Radiology was fielding twenty to thirty "can you just tell me what the report says" calls per day — taking a radiologist away from reporting to give verbal summaries over the phone. After the PACS connector linked every radiology order in ERPNext HISx to its PACS study with a single "View Images and Report" button, clinicians get both the image link and the report text in ERPNext the moment radiology validates it. The "can you just tell me" calls from clinical staff to radiology dropped from 25 per day to 3.
A private hospital in Nashik was running into a consistent problem at the time of patient discharge. The treating doctor would clear the patient medically — they were ready to go home. But the final bill could not be generated for two to three hours because the billing team had to manually collect all the charges: ward charges from nursing, pharmacy charges from the pharmacy counter, lab charges from the lab billing desk, and procedure charges from the OT or treatment room. Each department maintained its own record and the billing team had to physically visit each counter or call each department to collect the data. The patient and their family were sitting in the ward or at the billing counter, waiting. On weekends when staffing was lighter, this could stretch to four or five hours. After pharmacy dispensing, lab charges, and nursing service charges were all integrated with ERPNext HISx through their respective systems, the discharge bill compiles itself. The moment the doctor clicks "cleared for discharge," the billing team can generate a complete final bill within fifteen minutes — pulling all charges from across the hospital that have already been captured in ERPNext in real time. Discharge waiting time went from two to three hours to under thirty minutes.
A corporate hospital in Mumbai was processing STAT lab tests from their ICU. When an ICU patient had a potassium level of 6.8 mEq/L — critically high — the lab validated the result and printed it. The print went to the lab reception, who called the ICU nursing station, who relayed the message to the duty nurse, who found the attending intensivist. By the time the intensivist acted on the information, seventeen minutes had passed from the time the lab validated the result. In critical care, seventeen minutes is a long time when potassium is that high. After HL7 integration connected the LIS to ERPNext HISx with a critical value alerting rule, any result that breaches the configured critical threshold triggers an immediate ERPNext notification to the attending doctor's name as shown on the patient record — sent simultaneously via ERPNext, WhatsApp, and an audible workstation alert at the ICU nurses station. The intensivist sees it within sixty seconds. The protocol for critical value communication went from an average of seventeen minutes to under two minutes. The ICU medical director described the change as the most clinically significant system improvement the hospital had made in five years.
A chain of eight nursing homes across Maharashtra was running a central pharmacy model — medicines purchased centrally and dispatched to each nursing home based on requisition. Each nursing home's pharmacy had its own dispensing record on paper or in a basic pharmacy software. ERPNext was supposed to track the stock centrally, but because there was no integration between the individual nursing home pharmacy systems and ERPNext, the stock levels in ERPNext were updated manually and infrequently. By mid-month, the stock figures in ERPNext had drifted so far from reality that the central procurement team could not trust them for reorder decisions. They were over-purchasing some medicines and under-purchasing others. After the pharmacy systems at all eight locations were integrated with ERPNext HISx, every dispensed tablet, injection, and consumable updates the ERPNext stock ledger in real time. The central procurement team now has accurate, live stock levels across all eight locations. Overstock situations that were tying up working capital have reduced significantly, and stockout incidents — when a nursing home ran out of a critical medicine — went from occurring three to four times a month to zero in the following six months.
A specialized eye hospital in Pune used an Optical Coherence Tomography machine to capture retinal scans for patients with diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. These were monitoring patients who came every three to six months. The OCT machine stored images in its own internal memory, and the PACS that was supposed to archive them was not consistently used. When a patient returned for their six-month visit, the ophthalmologist would ask for the previous OCT images for comparison — and the tech would have to search the machine's internal memory by date, hope the images were there, and export them to a USB drive to show the doctor. For patients who had been seen more than a year ago, earlier images were sometimes lost entirely when the machine's memory was cleared. After PACS integration with ERPNext HISx was deployed, every OCT study is archived to PACS immediately after acquisition and linked to the patient's ERPNext record with their UHID. When the patient returns, the previous studies are one click away — in chronological order, with the radiologist's comments — in ERPNext. The ophthalmologist can compare today's scan with the one from eighteen months ago side by side. Clinical documentation of disease progression became significantly richer.
Healthcare integration is governed by established international standards. Our connectors implement these standards correctly — which means they work with any system that follows the same standards, not just specific vendor products.
