Health Information System has made me learn, understand and gain knowledge in the technology side of the health system and most especially in the laboratory information system and how it works.

MT14-CC Laboratory Information Systems Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), also referred to as Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), is defined by Trust Radius as software programs designed to help laboratories manage their workflows and protocols while keeping track of their tools, samples, and test results.

I learned a lot in this subject, particularly regarding the significance of having a LIS (Laboratory Information System) and the crucial factors involved in selecting the most suitable LIS for a laboratory. These factors encompass the specific nature of the laboratory, the range of tests or services it provides, and additional requirements and expectations. Moreover, through insightful discussions, I also acquired valuable insights into laboratory management, with a specific focus on the domains of Quality Control and Material Management.

Materials management is important both in clinical laboratories and households. In clinical laboratories, it ensures the timely availability of materials and reagents for conducting diagnostic tests, helps to manage resources efficiently, supports cost management, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements. Effective materials management also helps to maintain the quality and accuracy of test results. In households, materials management enables effective inventory management and tracking of household items, reduces waste and saves money, ensures that essential household items are readily available, supports effective space management, and helps to maintain a safe and healthy… Read More
