What it is

The front desk or the phlebotomist photographs the test-request form, or a prescription that asks for tests, with the phone’s camera. Rain reads it into a draft: the patient’s name, age, sex and phone, the referring doctor, the tests asked for and any clinical notes. Each test is matched to the lab’s own test list, by its name, by the short names the lab uses (CBC, sugar F, KFT) and, last, by a close spelling. A close spelling is only a suggestion, marked for a person to tick; a test that matches nothing stays marked as not matched, and the draft cannot be ordered until somebody picks the test or takes the line off. The person checks every line against the photo, chooses the patient (or registers them), and confirms; only then are the orders placed in LabBridge, with the photo kept with the scan. When the clinic’s privacy setting keeps photos away from Rain, the screen says so and the form is typed in by hand next to its photo.

Who uses it: Built for: Every specialty
Reads: The photo of the form, the lab’s test list and short names, patients with the same phone or name
Writes: The draft and what Rain read, the lab orders, once a person confirms, the lab’s short names, when taught
Never: It never orders anything by itself, never orders a test it could not match, and never sends a photo to Rain when the clinic’s privacy setting keeps photos in.
Access: Only people whose role includes it — the clinic owner decides who
Your data: PHI-lite. Hosted in Boston, United States. On uninstall: Scanning stops. Scans already taken and the orders they became are kept; orders are still placed in LabBridge by hand.

How it works

Photograph the formAt the desk or the door, the camera takes the form; the photo is kept with the scan.
Check the draftRain fills the patient, doctor and tests; each test shows how it matched, and anything unmatched is marked.
Confirm to orderPick the patient and confirm. Only then do the orders reach LabBridge.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It never orders anything by itself, never orders a test it could not match, and never sends a photo to Rain when the clinic’s privacy setting keeps photos in.

Questions clinics ask

What does TRFScan do?

Photograph a handwritten test-request form; Rain drafts the lab order and a person checks it before anything is ordered. The front desk or the phlebotomist photographs the test-request form, or a prescription that asks for tests, with the phone’s camera. Rain reads it into a draft: the patient’s name, age, sex and phone, the referring doctor, the tests asked for and any clinical notes. Each test is matched to the lab’s own test list, by its name, by the short names the lab uses (CBC, sugar F, KFT) and, last, by a close spelling. A close spelling is only a suggestion, marked for a person to tick; a test that matches nothing stays marked as not matched, and the draft cannot be ordered until somebody picks the test or takes the line off. The person checks every line against the photo, chooses the patient (or registers them), and confirms; only then are the orders placed in LabBridge, with the photo kept with the scan. When the clinic’s privacy setting keeps photos away from Rain, the screen says so and the form is typed in by hand next to its photo.

What data does TRFScan read and write?

TRFScan reads the photo of the form, the lab’s test list and short names, patients with the same phone or name and writes the draft and what Rain read, the lab orders, once a person confirms, the lab’s short names, when taught. Its data class is PHI-lite. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does TRFScan deliberately not do?

It never orders anything by itself, never orders a test it could not match, and never sends a photo to Rain when the clinic’s privacy setting keeps photos in.

What happens to our data if we uninstall TRFScan?

Scanning stops. Scans already taken and the orders they became are kept; orders are still placed in LabBridge by hand.

Is TRFScan available today?

Yes — TRFScan is live in clinics today. Set up your practice on MedAppz and install it from your dashboard.
