What is LIS and its Uses? The LIS is at the center of clinical laboratory information management. It is a combination of software, hardware, and operating systems created to support the clinical laboratory’s operational procedures. Depending on the requirements of each laboratory, the LIS setup can be altered and is highly versatile. In order to effectively manage the information flow between patients, healthcare professionals, and laboratories, LIS must be planned to optimize both laboratory operations and individualized clinical care. The use of laboratory information systems can enhance both patient care and laboratory… Read More

A Laboratory Information System (LIS), also referred to as Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), is a component of a Health Information System or a type of information technology. In essence, it is a computer software system designed to collect, process, store, and manage pertinent data to the functions and operations of a clinical laboratory. Such data include test orders or requests, patient information or record, laboratory results, staff information, financial or accounting records, inventory of materials and equipment, and the like. This kind of system serves as an all-in-one platform where most,… Read More

Laboratory Information Systems and their uses: Laboratory Information System (LIS) manages the day-to-day workflow and activities of a clinical laboratory including asset tracking, status monitoring, task segmentation and distribution, and is fundamental to the operation of a laboratory. Laboratory Information Systems are unique and specialized to each laboratory as they are made depending on the requirements of the staff, users, and the laboratory itself (Sinard J. et. al., 2015). Artificial Intelligence and its Implications: Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the replication or simulation of human intelligence by computer systems or machines. For… Read More
