Random Generation & Tracking (RGT), Child Protective Services (CPS) and Efficient Order Entry
Customer
Qatalys’ Client is a leading independent laboratory providing integrated drug testing products and services globally.
History
In America, as part of regulated drug testing, employees need to randomly test a percentage of their employees for drug abuse. Child Protective Services and the legal system also need suspects and convicts to be tested randomly from time to time. A computerized random generation of lists of people to be tested is much needed, to avoid abuse of authority.
Situation Presented to Qatalys
Qatalys' Client would like a system that will not only randomly generate testing and retesting orders to individuals, but also inform the closest laboratory, track all samples collected and shipped to the central lab, and generate results to the relevant authority. The Client would also like this system to have an Orders feature where Federal Agencies and Retails outlets can place orders for specific tests.
Key Challenges
- This application needed Complex algorithms for random list generation
- Data security was important
- This system should also be designed to accept orders for drug testing equipment.
