WHY DO YOU NEED A LIS?

What is LIS?

A Laboratory information system or LIS is a software system that is designed to support operations of a laboratory.  It allows you to effectively record, manage, and store associated data for clinical laboratories.

Such software includes a wide range of application features which help manage the internal flow of information within the laboratory when a patient is tested at the hospital or clinic. It is possible to manage the order entry, result in entry, patient check-in, specimen processing and patient demographics using LIS.

Why LIS?

It is absolutely critical that laboratory results should be accurate and any mistake in the result could lead to incorrect diagnosis. Laboratories have grown increasingly specialized and, with LIS, all the complex needs can be met effectively and efficiently. Some important advantages of LIS are:

Track Samples in Real Time

With Laboratory information system, the collection of samples and the allocation of the unique bar code to the samples, right at the point of collection is quite simple. This will aid in easy information retrieval as well as the management of reports.

Beginning from sample collection to reporting, laboratory activity is really a time-consuming activity and with LIS, a technician can control the complete workflow just by making a few clicks.

Elimination of Human Errors

As the laboratory system has the power of incorporating lab equipment and devices on a single platform, it reduces a lot of manual efforts and thus by reducing the chance of human errors.

Focus on Critical Reports

With unique auto authorization in LIS, approval of reports with normal values is quite a time saving and only the reports with abnormal values can be sent to doctor's authorization. It allows focusing on critical reports and significantly reduces the workload.

Increase Revenue

As the lab information system comes equipped with Laboratory information management system, financial, operational, inventory, test, and lab-based reports are available in different formats.

A LIMS allows lab owners to mine data, analyze trends and make accurate projections as it is  useful in making strategic decisions regarding the lab operations

Consumption-based Inventory Alert

With LIS, automated purchases are now possible through predictive reordering and expiration alerts. Thus it completely eliminates wastage, controls pilferages and cuts unnecessary cost which is an important factor in the laboratory system.

Testing laboratories provide vital services to the customers who expect accurate results produced at the appropriate time and at a reasonable cost. The  Laboratory information system has the power to transform the functioning of the lab by providing a greater control which is the need of the future.
