Point-of-care results, filed in Vision.
Run the test in the treatment room and the result lands in Vision as a structured value against the right patient. Nothing read off a screen, nothing typed twice, no printout walked across the practice.
Vision is a GP clinical system with a long history in UK general practice under the INPS and Cegedim names, and since August 2025 it has been owned by OneAdvanced. It is the only GP clinical system accredited for use in Scotland, where a national rollout continues through 2026, and its footprint elsewhere in the UK is smaller after Wales moved its practices to EMIS Web. On Vision, a point-of-care result that never reaches it might as well not exist. The gap is the manual step in between.
Two things push a practice to connect its analysers. The first is volume: enough INR, HbA1c, CRP or urine tests a day that reading values off a screen and typing them into the record stops being sustainable for the nurse running the clinic. The second is data: results have to reach the patient record the whole practice works from, with the operator, device and quality-control status attached, so the clinician reviewing the consultation sees them the same way as a laboratory result. If either sounds familiar, the connection pays for itself in staff time alone.
Catenix sits between your analysers and Vision. A small gateway at the practice, or a staff phone running Pocket Gateway, captures each result electronically the moment it is produced, over HL7, POCT1-A2, ASTM or the device's own format. The result is matched to the right patient and operator, kept separate from quality-control runs, and forwarded to Vision through a structured result feed or a supported partner interface, of the kind the supplier makes available to its approved integration partners. Which route applies in your nation is confirmed during implementation.
How it works
From bench to filed result.
More than the pipe
Connectivity is the start, not the whole product.
QC captured as it happens, Westgard rules on failures, Levey-Jennings charts drawn for you, competency against the operator who ran the test. Every analyser, one system
Chemistry, immunoassay, blood gas, haematology, molecular and urinalysis on one platform instead of one middleware per manufacturer. Pocket Gateway
A phone becomes the gateway, so testing connects even in settings without fixed network infrastructure. Built for networks
One coordinator can oversee devices, QC and operators across every site from a single screen.
Modules switch on per clinic, so you take the connectivity and governance you need now and add the rest if it earns its place. There are no per-test fees.
Questions, answered
Before you ask.
How do point-of-care results reach Vision?
A result captured at the bench is turned into a structured message and delivered to Vision through a structured result feed or a supported partner interface. OneAdvanced, which now owns Vision, maintains a network of approved partners whose products integrate with it, and that is the route a results connection follows. Catenix is designed to connect over open standards, so the value that was measured is the value filed against the right patient, with the operator and device attached.
Is Catenix integrated with Vision?
Catenix is designed and ready to connect to Vision over the standards it accepts. That describes connectivity built to open standards, not an affiliation with or endorsement by OneAdvanced. Exactly what flows, and how, is confirmed with your practice during implementation.
Our practice is moving to Vision as part of the Scotland rollout. Does that change anything?
Not on the analyser side. Catenix captures from the analyser regardless of which clinical system the practice runs, so the devices, operators and quality-control history carry across a migration unchanged. The destination is set at implementation and switched when the practice goes live on Vision. What flows into Vision, and through which supported route, is confirmed with the practice and, where relevant, the health board, and Catenix keeps its own tamper-evident record of every result throughout.
Catenix is designed and ready to connect to the systems named on this page over open standards. That wording is deliberate: it describes connectivity built to published interfaces, not a claim of affiliation with, endorsement by, or certification from any named vendor. Product and company names are the trademarks of their respective owners and are used for identification only. What connects in your setting is confirmed during implementation. This page describes connectivity and data handling only and is not clinical advice.
