Lab results belong in the chart, not in a fax tray.
Order labs, receive results, and file them to the patient record without leaving PIMSY. Over 500 connected labs, automated routing, and HIPAA-compliant HL7 and FHIR transfer.
What happens when lab results live outside the chart?
An EHR that cannot connect to your lab partners adds delay to every order. Someone prints a requisition, the patient carries it to a draw site, results come back by fax or a separate lab portal, and a staff member keys them into the chart by hand. That is manual work for every panel, and every manual step is a chance for a result to be transcribed wrong, filed late, or missed entirely.
For behavioral health, the stakes are specific. A patient on lithium needs serum levels monitored. Clients on antipsychotics need metabolic panels. MAT programs run urine drug screens. When those results are slow to reach the chart, the prescriber is making decisions without the full picture, and the care delay shows up in outcomes.
PIMSY’s lab integrations close that gap. The order, the secure transmission to the lab, and the returned result all move through the same system your clinicians document in. Results route to the patient record automatically. No printing, no faxing, no re-keying.
What behavioral health teams actually need from lab integration
-
Lab ordering from inside the patient chart, not a separate requisition pad -
Connection to over 500 diagnostic labs from one platform -
Automated result routing that files results to the chart with no manual data entry -
Preloaded test catalogs so orders are accurate and consistent -
Secure data transfer over HL7, FHIR, and REST APIs to keep transmission HIPAA compliant -
Results visible to the full care team alongside notes, plans, and prescriptions
An EHR is only as useful as what it can connect to.
Integrations connect your EHR to the systems and partners around it, adding functionality, improving interoperability, and expanding what your team can do without leaving the platform. Lab integration is one of the most valuable connections a behavioral health practice can make. An isolated EHR that cannot exchange lab data adds delay to care, layers manual steps onto workflows, and puts continuity of care at risk.
PIMSY’s EHR software is built to support interoperability. Lab integrations link your providers to a network of trusted diagnostic partners, so orders go out and results come back through the same record. That network accelerates turnaround times, strengthens patient care, and keeps your workflows clean.
Underneath it, the data moves over established healthcare standards. FHIR, REST APIs, and HL7 handle the exchange, which is how PIMSY keeps lab data transfer secure and HIPAA compliant from the lab to the chart.
From order to result without leaving the chart
The same three moves your staff make today, minus the printing, faxing, and re-keying in between.
Order from inside the chart
Open the patient record and order labs directly from a preloaded test catalog. The right tests, codes, and order sets are already in the system, so the order is accurate and consistent. There is no separate requisition pad and no leaving the chart to place it.
Transmit securely to the lab
The order travels to one of over 500 connected diagnostic labs over HL7, FHIR, and REST APIs. The lab acknowledges receipt and the requisition is attached to the chart. The transmission stays HIPAA compliant from end to end, with no faxing and no portal logins.
Results route to the chart automatically
When results come back, automated routing uploads them straight to the patient record. No one re-keys a value or files a fax. The care team sees results next to notes, treatment plans, and prescriptions, so clinical decisions happen on the full picture.
Where lab integration shows up in the work
Less time chasing faxed results, and a fuller picture in front of the prescriber when it counts.
Improved patient care
Timely access to lab results enhances diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. When the prescriber has current levels in front of them, decisions are made on data, not on guesswork or delay.
Streamlined workflows
Automating lab results is fast, efficient, and compliant. Orders go out and results come back without printing, faxing, or hand-keying, which frees staff time and removes a recurring source of error.
Security and privacy
By leveraging data standards like FHIR, REST APIs, and HL7, PIMSY keeps lab data transfer secure and HIPAA compliant. Patient information stays protected from the lab interface to the chart.
Lab integration is one part of PIMSY
Labs are clinical, and so is documentation, prescribing, and billing. All of it runs inside PIMSY, with the patient record at the center.

Questions about lab integration in PIMSY
What is EHR lab integration?
EHR lab integration connects an Electronic Health Record system with laboratory services, so providers can order tests, receive results, and store data seamlessly within the EHR. That connection improves accuracy, supports compliance, and removes the manual steps that slow patient care.
What is the benefit of PIMSY’s lab integration?
PIMSY’s lab integration gives your providers access to over 500 diagnostic labs nationwide from inside the platform. Orders are placed from a preloaded test catalog, transmission stays secure, and results route to the patient record automatically, with no manual data entry.
Why is lab integration important for behavioral health providers?
It reduces administrative tasks, eliminates manual data entry, ensures timely results, and improves compliance, all of which are critical for delivering high-quality behavioral health care. For practices monitoring medication levels, metabolic panels, or drug screens, faster and more reliable results mean better-informed clinical decisions.
Is PIMSY’s lab integration HIPAA compliant?
Yes. PIMSY uses secure, HIPAA-compliant data transfer protocols to safeguard patient information. Lab data moves over established healthcare standards, including FHIR, REST APIs, and HL7, which keep transmission secure from the lab interface to the chart.
Can I connect my local lab to PIMSY if it is not in the network?
Yes. PIMSY customers can request that their preferred lab be added to the network, subject to approval. If a lab you rely on is not already connected, the PIMSY team can review it during onboarding or after you are live.
How do lab results reach the patient chart?
Automated routing uploads results directly to the patient record. There is no printing, faxing, or hand-keying of values. Once a result returns from the lab, it files to the chart and is visible to the care team alongside notes, treatment plans, and prescriptions.
