Laboratory system

A computer-implemented method for validating analytical test results provided by a laboratory system, wherein the laboratory system comprises a plurality of work areas, each work area comprising one or more analytical instruments designed for performing analytical tests of biological samples and providing analytical test results, the method performed by a remote computer connected to the plurality of work areas via a communication network comprising:

• defining test result validation criteria for the analytical tests;
• storing a test validation configuration comprising one or more test validation profiles, each test validation profile comprising one or more analytical test groups, each group comprising one or more analytical tests, for each analytical test group of the test validation profile, a set of test result validation criteria for the one or more analytical tests of this analytical test group, and a work area to which test validation profile is allocated;
• validating a set of analytic test results by applying the test validation configuration, wherein an analytical test result is deemed valid if the following conditions are satisfied:
• a) a test validation profile of the test validation configuration is allocated to a work area of the analytical test result and comprises an analytical test group in which the analytical test of the analytical test result is comprised and
• b) the analytical test result satisfies the applicable test result validation criteria of the set of test result validation criteria for the one or more analytical tests of the analytical test group according to condition a);
• and
• allowing a user to manually perform the validation of the groups of the analytical test results by adjusting the test results validation criteria if desired.
