BloodLine makes sure the GP knows.
A safety net for blood test results in Australian general practice. BloodLine reads every incoming report and lets you know when a result may need review.
Labs deliver the result, and phone through the critical ones. After that, follow‑up rests on a busy inbox and a process that usually works. Some results are never acted on.
Missed follow‑up is more common than it should be.

- 01
The report arrives
From the lab, into your practice software, as it does today.
- 02
OCR copies the values
Exactly what's printed on the report. Nothing is interpreted.
- 03
Plain code checks each one
Lab flag, printed range and your rules. The same answer every time.
- 04
You get an alert
In the app, with a nudge by email, SMS or call. Messages never carry patient details.
- 05
You mark it seen
Every check, message and action goes into the audit trail.
It alerts on exactly three things.
01
The lab flagged it.
If the lab marks a result as abnormal, you hear about it.
02
It's outside the printed range.
Each value is compared with the range printed on that patient's report, not a generic table.
03
It matches your rule.
Set a rule for one patient. A matching value alerts you, even when it's inside the range and unflagged.
+
If it can't check, it says so.
A value that isn't a plain number, like “<0.01”, gets its own alert. BloodLine never stays silent.
Open it. See why. Mark it seen.
BloodLine doesn't diagnose, decide urgency, automate follow-up, or replace your inbox review or the lab's phone call.
It just makes sure you know.
Why now.
Patients can see results first.
Pathology reports now go to My Health Record by default, mostly without the old 7‑day delay. A patient may read a result before anyone at the practice has acted on it.
Follow‑up is an accreditation standard.
The RACGP's 6th edition Standards keep a dedicated criterion for follow‑up systems: CG6.
Labs have started texting doctors.
Australian Clinical Labs texts doctors about high‑risk results and asks them to confirm. It covers one lab, judged by that lab's own criteria.
One connection reaches most practices.
Halo Connect is the only connection method for Bp Omni, and Bp Premier integrations are moving to it.
Made for the practice you already run.
Plugs in where results already land.
Labs change nothing. BloodLine's first integration route is Best Practice, through Halo Connect.
No patient details in messages.
Email, SMS and calls only ask you to open the app.
The same answer, every time.
OCR only copies what's printed. Plain, deterministic code does every check.
A full audit trail.
Every check, message and action is recorded.
Your judgement stays yours.
BloodLine never diagnoses or decides urgency. You still review every result.
