It’s basically like HIS but it’s for the Laboratory to keep records of specimens and chemicals instead of patients and diseases which is very helpful towards Medical Technologists and Pathologists.   As a “turn-key” solution, the Laboratory Information System (LIS) was created. An interactive minicomputer is used for the primary functions, giving the laboratory total control over everyday processing. A network of microcomputers and microprocessors is used to collect the results from automated analyzers. (Forest JC, et al.)   For clinical and anatomic pathology laboratories, a LIS is a software system that… Read More

Q1: What is LIS? A: According to R. McCudden et al. (2020),  the core of managing clinical laboratory information is the Laboratory Information System (LIS), which encompasses software, operating systems, and hardware tailored to the specific needs of a laboratory. The configuration of the LIS can be highly customized to support the operational processes of the laboratory. They added that the LIS plays a crucial role in every stage of laboratory testing, facilitating the flow of information to and from the system throughout the process of coming up with a result.  … Read More
