Confirmed. Explainable.
Contestable.
A drug test result in a dependency case is evidence against a statutory clock. Azimuth's dependency workflow has no path to report an unconfirmed presumptive positive. Every determination carries its laboratory confirmation, its medical review, an isomer step that separates a prescription from an illicit substance, and an immutable record of who saw what and when. A parent contests a result through a defined process, with the same record in front of everyone.
Thirty minutes, tailored to your agency's cases. No obligation.

Evidence Against a Clock
Deserves Confirmation Discipline
Under ASFA, fifteen months in out-of-home care starts the path to terminating parental rights, and drug-test results are the primary evidence of progress on the case plan. A presumptive screen reported as a result, or a methamphetamine finding that a standard isomer test would have traced to a decongestant, can cost a parent their child. Azimuth builds the safeguards into the workflow itself, so the caseworker, the court, and the parent all work from a determination that has been confirmed, reviewed, and recorded.
Nothing Releases Unconfirmed
A presumptive positive from the screen reflexes to your certified laboratory automatically and holds there. The dependency workflow has no path to report it as a result. What reaches the court is a confirmed determination with its review attached.
The Isomer Step Is Required
D/L isomer differentiation separates a legal medication from an illicit substance. Azimuth makes it a required condition of a positive determination in the program's workflow, and medical review is where a legitimate prescription gets documented before anything is reported.
The Missed-Test Record Holds Up
Non-compliance runs high in dependency cases, and "was the parent actually notified?" is a due-process question. Every notification, reminder, and missed appointment is logged, and the compliance report separates a missed test from a missed notification, so the court sees which one it was.
Contestable by Design
A parent disputing a result is a first-class workflow: a re-read against the stored image, a split-specimen retest at a second laboratory, a documented review. The same immutable record sits in front of the caseworker, counsel, and the court.
Every determination carries its confirmation, its review, and a record of who saw what and when.
From the Case Plan
to the Hearing
Six steps, each one recorded, each one a safeguard the court can see. The record follows the case from the first order to the last hearing.
Case Plan to Orders
Testing frequency set by the case plan. Orders carry the case, the ordering party, and the disclosure rules for each party who will see the result.
Notify and Schedule
Reminders and self-scheduling for the parent, every message logged. A missed test and a missed notification are recorded as different things, because to the court they are.
Collect With Identity
Identity verified at collection, consent captured, the seal issued. Remote observed collection over secure video when transportation is the barrier to compliance.
Screen, Then Hold
The instant read informs the caseworker the same day. Any presumptive positive holds for confirmation; the workflow has no path to release it as a result.
Confirm, Differentiate, Review
Your certified laboratory confirms. Isomer differentiation runs where the workflow requires it. Medical review documents legitimate prescriptions before a determination exists.
Disclose Per Party
The judge, the caseworker, counsel, and the parent each see what they are entitled to, through access-logged links. A dispute runs through a defined process on the same record.
The Same Evidence,
In Front of Everyone
A dependency case has more parties than any other testing program: the agency, the caseworker, the court, parents' counsel, the guardian ad litem, the parent. Each sees what the order authorizes, and all of them see the same record.
Decisions that hold on appeal.
When a determination decides a family's future, the agency's exposure is the process behind it. Azimuth makes confirmation, review, and disclosure enforced steps, with an immutable record for every case.
- Enforced confirmation
- Required isomer step
- Immutable audit
The record does the remembering.
Who was notified and when, what was collected, what was confirmed, who has seen it. The case file assembles itself as the work happens, court prep is a link, and the testimony matches the record because it comes from the record.
- Notification log
- Missed-test report
- Court share link
Confirmed findings, on the record.
An access-logged view of confirmed determinations and the compliance history. Parents' counsel and guardians ad litem see what the order authorizes, and a contest runs through a defined process, on the same record, with the same evidence.
- Access-logged disclosure
- Split-specimen retest
- Dispute workflow
Before the Demo
Can a presumptive positive be reported as a result?
No. In the dependency workflow every non-negative screen reflexes to the confirmation laboratory and holds there. A determination exists only after confirmation and medical review, and only a determination reaches the court.
How do you handle a prescription that screens positive?
Medical review documents the legitimate prescription, and D/L isomer differentiation, a required step in the program's workflow, separates a decongestant from an illicit substance before any determination is made.
What specimen types do you support?
Urine, oral fluid, hair, and breath, each with its own collection protocol and its interpretive context carried on the report, so the court reads a finding with the caveats that belong to that specimen type.
How does a parent contest a result?
Through a defined dispute process: a re-read against the stored image, a split-specimen retest at a second certified laboratory, and a documented review, all on the same record the caseworker and the court see.
Do we keep our laboratory?
Yes. Bring the certified laboratory you use. Azimuth routes confirmations to it and receives results electronically into the case record.
