The laboratory workstation, light and built for scanning.

Jade Lite is the lightweight Jade client. Each task has its own screen: reception, consultation, administration. Everything is done with the barcode scanner and the keyboard, and each workstation gets its settings and updates from its site.

How it works

A light workstation, connected to the whole suite

Jade Lite talks to Jade through its API, gets its settings and updates from the site's server, prints and opens Jade through a link installed with the workstation, and hands over to JadeMP for nonconformities.

  1. At startup

    The workstation applies its site's Jade Lite settings and checks for updates.

  2. On every scan

    Reception goes through jade-api; notifications arrive live over WebSocket.

  3. Labels and Jade

    The link installed with the workstation prints labels and opens the record in Jade.

  4. Quality

    A nonconformity opens in JadeMP, the form pre-filled from the record.

01Reception

Built for the scanner and the keyboard

The cursor stays in the scan field, Enter confirms server popups and shortcuts use Alt or Ctrl: a scanner read never triggers an action. For everything else, a quick action bar stays with the record.

Quick actions, on the record

Add a test, a sample or a remark, print the labels, report a nonconformity: every action is one click away in the floating bar, or one Alt shortcut, shown on hover. Nothing to look for in a menu between two scans.

  • Seven actions: prescribable, remark, sample, nonconformity, labels, refresh, back
  • One Alt shortcut per action, shown in the tooltip
  • Actions greyed out until a record is open; nonconformities stay available even when reception is blocked
  • Movable bar, snapping to the nearest edge, collapsible without losing shortcuts
  • Shown and greyed-out actions chosen in the site's settings

The whole record, without leaving the scan

  • A sample number receives the sample, a record number opens the record without receiving anything
  • “Receive all” for the remaining samples, the list follows the scanned line
  • Reasons in one click: broken, missing, clotted, haemolysed, lipaemic, nonconforming
  • Clinical questions asked by the server, answered on the spot
  • Remarks from the keyboard: text codes, signature, sent with Shift+Enter
  • Nonconformity reported in JadeMP, form pre-filled from the record
  • Attachments as thumbnails, PDF and image viewer
  • Exchange history, filterable and exportable
02Screens

Several records open, side by side

Each task has its own tab. Two panels share the screen: reception on the left, the consultation of the same record on the right, as Jade produces it.

  • Tabs reordered by drag and drop, breadcrumb, back with F11
  • Two panels: open on the right, move from one side to the other, resizable divider
  • Consultation of Jade's results document, presentations 1 to 9, raw or formatted
  • Laboratory and site changed from the status bar, scanner blocked during the switch
  • The magnifier consults, the pencil opens the record for editing in Jade
03Settings

Settings of its own, for Jade Lite

Jade Lite has its own settings, independent of Jade's. Defined once for the site, they apply to all its workstations from startup: nothing to set workstation by workstation, nothing to change in Jade.

  • Independent of Jade's settings: nothing to change on the Jade side
  • Defined once for the site, applied to all its workstations at startup
  • Viewable from each workstation's status bar, read-only
  • Updates served by the site: automatic at startup, or installed by an administrator
  • Windows installation kit prepared for each site

04Administration

Supervise Jade from a workstation

Administrators follow connections, release locks and monitor exchanges between applications, without leaving their workstation.

  • Connected users, live, with their open panels
  • Jade sessions and record locks: release, disconnection with a message to users
  • Messaging between applications, record or XML view: resend, delete, purge
  • Jade script hierarchy, editor, execution (Ctrl+Enter) and console
  • Read-only task manager: scheduler, servers and routing, log
  • Jade system preferences, read-only, with search
05Biological validationNext version

Validate a series without leaving the keyboard

Search by profile and period, saved selections, then record after record: filters, previous results, inline correction. Ctrl+F9 validates and opens the next one, validation runs in the background.

  1. Search

    Profile, group, priority and period; selections saved as tabs.

  2. Open

    Arrow keys and Enter; a record held by another workstation shows as locked.

  3. Check

    Pathological, alerts, to phone; previous results, patient history, comments.

  4. Validate

    F9, or Ctrl+F9 to move on to the next record; Ctrl+F3 to unvalidate.

06Blood bankNext version

The blood group request next to the record

On sites equipped with JadeIH, a red drop in the header opens the blood group request next to the record. The patient's group shows as a badge, and each sample tells where its order stands.

  • Blood bank menu: group requests and patients
  • Opens next to the record (40 % panel) or in a new tab
  • Automatic opening chosen per workstation, kept from one session to the next
  • Order tracking: pending, received to the minute, not received after 30 minutes
  • Patient blood group badge in the header
07Order entryComing soon

Enter a record without opening the full client

Jade's way of working is kept: codes, synonyms, profiles and keys. The screen only shows what matters, codes on one side, prescription on the other, and unfolds the rest on demand.

  • Several codes at once, synonyms and profiles recognised
  • -CODE removes a test, CODE! makes it urgent
  • Prescriber, collection and urgency up front, the rest in a foldable summary
  • Samples and fees recalculated in the background, without a dialog
  • F12 saves and opens the next record, F2 clears
  • Labels printed once the record is validated
08MicrobiologyComing soon

Bacteriology in worklists

Each step has its own list, across records: direct examination, culture reading, identification, antibiograms, additional tests. You enter from the keyboard, validate the batch with F9, and Jade Lite writes to Jade in the background.

  • One list per step across records, or entry by organism and by record
  • Analyser values pre-filled, to confirm
  • Technical validation of the batch with F9, written to Jade in the background
  • Sending tracked: queued, processing, done, error
  • A rejection from Jade sends the line back to its list: nothing gets lost
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Jade Lite replace the Jade client?

No. It takes over everyday tasks in focused screens: reception, consultation, administration. One click opens the record in Jade when you need to go further.

Which workstations does it run on?

Windows. Each workstation is installed with the site's kit, then receives its updates from the site's server.

What is needed on the server side?

Jade and its API, and per site an update server that also serves the workstations' Jade Lite settings. The link with Jade (labels, opening in Jade) is installed with each workstation.

Do Jade Lite's settings affect Jade's?

No. Jade Lite has its own settings, defined per site: reception, action bar, notifications, updates. Jade's settings stay untouched, and nothing is set workstation by workstation.

Can a workstation work for several sites?

Yes. The laboratory and site are chosen at login and changed from the status bar; the site's colour tints the record header.

When do the new modules arrive?

Biological validation and JadeIH are developed and connected to the Jade API: they ship with the next version. Order entry is in pilot and microbiology in design with domain experts: they will follow.
