SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING PATIENT-RELATED MEDICAL DATA

The invention relates to a patient sample analysis system. The system comprises: at least one medical analysis device adapted to receive a sample, perform a measurement on the sample, and produce a measurement result based on the measurement, wherein the measurement result has a unique identifier; and a medical device management apparatus comprising an input interface adapted to collect the measurement result from the at least one medical analysis device, an output interface adapted to output sample analysis data based on the measurement result towards a point of delivery, and at least one processing module arranged in a data path extending from an upstream end at the input interface to a downstream end at the output interface. The patient sample analysis system further comprises: one or more check points arranged in the data path, wherein each check point is configured to identify the result by the unique identifier and to add a corresponding result status entry in relation to the unique identifier to a check point record, when the result is passed through said check point; and an error handler operable to inspect the check point record, detect the occurrence of an error based on that inspection, determine an error location of the error on the data path, and develop an error correction based on the error location. In a further aspect, a corresponding method for handling medical sample analysis is disclosed.
