The Challenge: Breaking Free from Legacy Systems
The client’s genetic testing workflows were constrained by a legacy codebase that created bottlenecks and compliance risks:
1. Slow Turnaround Times (TAT) → Delays in test order, sample accessioning, and reporting.
2. Technical Debt → Outdated architecture and code led to recurring bugs and slow performance.
3. Interoperability Gaps → Inability to integrate with modern hospital EHR
4. Compliance Burden → Fragmented traceability increased audit risks.
5. Usability Issues → Clinicians found legacy dashboards unintuitive, reducing adoption.
The client needed a cloud-native, HIPAA-compliant platform that could streamline workflows, enable interoperability, and prepare for the future of precision medicine.
The NonStop Approach: Compliance-First Modernization for Genetic Labs
NonStop partnered as a healthcare product development and integration expert, modernizing core genetic lab workflows while ensuring business continuity and zero downtime.
1. Test Order Management → Designed a modern, cloud-native interface that streamlines patient and provider onboarding, simplifies order creation, and EHR interoperability using SMART on FHIR and MIRTH.
2.Sample Accessioning Management → Implemented automated intake, labeling, and real-time tracking of genetic samples to ensure accuracy, traceability, and regulatory compliance.
3. Report Management → Developed automated quality-control checks, reporting pipelines, and audit-ready dashboards to accelerate results delivery for clinicians and researchers.
4. Data Privacy → Applied robust PHI protection through data masking and de-identification (Data Sunrise).
5. Data Security → Applied robust PHI protection through data masking and de-identification (Data Sunrise).
6.UI/UX for Adoption → Designed intuitive, compliance-ready dashboards that improved provider and researcher engagement while reducing training overhead.
7. Compliance-First Engineering → Ensured HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC2 compliance into every solution component, ensuring audit readiness by design.
8. Future-Ready Architecture →Introduced Micro-services architecture and modern DevOps practices to deliver scalability and resilience.
