In morgues, hospitals, and forensic laboratories worldwide, medical examiners and pathologists manage some of the most complex, time-sensitive, and high-stakes workflows in medicine. In forensic pathology, there’s no room for error. The journey from body intake to autopsy to downstream pathology analysis is intricate, tightly regulated, and emotionally sensitive. Whether serving the justice system or advancing public health, morgue and pathology teams must navigate an overwhelming volume of critical data – all while preserving chain-of-custody, ensuring compliance, and honoring the dignity of the deceased.
With so much on the line – a missed detail or delayed report can impact families, public health, or justice – relying on paper-based or fragmented software systems only slows processes and increases risk.
That’s where LabVantage MAP (Morgue, Autopsy, Pathology) component comes in.
High-Stakes Work, Higher Expectations
Tracking and managing information related to the deceased is never easy. It’s not just about logging observations from an autopsy – it’s about securely managing a web of related data: tissue samples, toxicology results, personal effects, medical history, police reports, interviews with next of kin, and more.
In many cases, the findings must support legal investigations. Forensic pathologists, hospital administrators, lab technicians, and law enforcement officers all depend on timely access to these records. Each stakeholder requires a different view of the data – but everyone depends on the same source of truth.
That’s a challenge when software systems are siloed or not built for this level of complexity. Some labs are still using generic platforms designed for clinical testing – or worse, relying on paper documentation that slows workflows, increases the chance of error, and hinders collaboration.
A Single Platform Designed for the Realities of Your Work
Labvantage MAP component was developed specifically to meet the needs of medical examiners, forensic pathologist, and post-mortem laboratory environments. It eliminates the need for outdated tools and fragmented workflows by offering a unified, secure system for managing everything from initial case intake through autopsy findings, lab analysis, and final reporting. It seamlessly complements LabVantage’s Forensic Navigator for law enforcement, providing an integrated solution that streamlines forensic case management across agencies and labs for faster, more accurate results.
LabVantage MAP component provides:
- End-to-end digital case management: Track every detail from body intake to final report in a centralized, intuitive platform.
- Unbreakable chain-of-custody tracking: Every sample, item, and note is securely documented to ensure accuracy in both medical and legal contexts.
- Pre-configured workflows: Reduce administrative burden with templates built for your daily work, while maintaining compliance with SOPs and regulations.
- Simplified collaboration: All stakeholders – from law enforcement to lab staff – can securely and easily access relevant data, submit requests, and monitor progress in real-time.
- Seamless data handoff between medical and forensic teams: For institutions with both a forensic lab and medical examiner’s office, MAP ensures that evidence, case history, and lab samples flow smoothly across departments without duplication or error.
Precision and Efficiency Where it Matters Most
LabVantage MAP component redefines post-mortem casework by seamlessly connecting every step into one efficient end-to-end workflow. Autopsy-collected items are automatically queued for the forensic lab, with all metadata seamlessly transferred, eliminating redundant data entry and accelerating downstream testing in histology, cytology, genetics, and more.
Included with LabVantage’s Forensic Navigator, MAP offers a fully integrated, role-aware, system for managing case files, contacts, test results, and evidence in one secure, searchable platform. No more manual syncing or jumping between disconnected systems.
The functionality of MAP extends beyond the Forensic Navigator and can also support the Diagnostic Accelerator for pathology workflows. By simply disabling the body intake and autopsy components, MAP becomes a seamless solution for diagnostic laboratories performing pathology work.
When every detail and every second counts, LabVantage MAP component simplifies and secures complex workflows. It empowers forensic and pathology teams to work with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence – even in the most demanding scenarios.
