An information system is a combination of software, hardware, and telecommunication networks to collect useful data, especially in an organization. Many businesses use information technology to complete and manage their operations, interact with their consumers, and stay ahead of their competition. Some companies today are completely built on information technology, like eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, and Google.   Reference: Jaiswal, S. (2022, September 21). What is Information System?

An information system is the collection, storing, processing, analyzing, and distribution of data that involves hardware, software, human power, and processes. It often helps organizations be organized, and efficient as well as maximize their operation. Often times it is misunderstood that it should be stored in a computer although it is not necessary. During the earlier times, data were collected and organized using the traditional system using pen and paper however, it is transferred to a computer system to optimize the information.

Number one reason for me is file management. It shouldn’t be convoluted to save a file and to be able to find it afterwards. Next, more freedom and features such as emulators, rooting and feasibility of customization. Contrary to popular opinion, I’ve found app selection and app quality to be better overall on Android. The design is more consistent and apps generally look nicer on iOS, but they sacrifice functionality compared to their Android counterparts.

A laboratory information system (LIS) is software used to manage laboratory procedures, data, and outcomes. Its goal is to increase the efficiency and precision of laboratory activities such as sample tracking, test ordering, and result reporting. A LIS can also enhance patient care by providing doctors with fast and reliable laboratory test data. There is numerous available Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) present for laboratories to choose from. In the Philippines, we have MedTech’s MEDITECH LIS and Sunquest Information Systems’ LIS. In addition, some LIS sellers are Cerner Corporation, Orchard Software, and Siemens… Read More

Technology has played an incredible role in the medical field in recent years. It has been revolutionizing the way healthcare is delivered and received from the development of manually writing data to type it on computers with systems such as Electronic Health Records (EHR). Technology has enabled healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes, increase efficiency, manage patient information, and reduce costs. One area where technology significantly impacts is the development and use of Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). LIS and AI have greatly helped improve the accuracy and efficiency… Read More

When it comes to Android or IOS software, as a user, I prefer IOS more. Based on my experience of being an IOS user for years, I can say that they are easy to use and have a consistent design across all their devices. As they are a closed source, which means that Apple makes both hardware and software, they can create a system that would make it work together really well. Also, regarding security, though Face IDs and Touch IDs are standard, Apple was the first or one of the first… Read More
