In the simplest way to put it, Information Systems is “information in a system”. However, with more context, information systems allow for not only the recording of important information, but also the deliverance of it for the support of improvement of society who uses it through its management.

CHRISTINE JOY C. PRADERA MT14 – CC   What is a laboratory information system? A laboratory information system is an information system designed for processing, storing, and managing patient data for medical processes and the testing needs of a clinical laboratory (McCudden et.al, 2020). It is a complete network of computer components used by laboratory professionals to coordinate their day-to-day workflow and reduce the workload needed to complete laboratory orders. It tracks clinical data for efficient analysis and observation and stores it in its database for physicians and laboratory professionals to assess…. Read More

An information system is a system designed to manage data/information so that it is easily accessible for collection, storage, distribution, and analysis. According to MDS (2020), it is made up of various components like hardware, software, data, telecommunications, and human resources that allow for the efficient handling and distribution of information. Information systems are essential for businesses, organizations, institutions, etc. because it helps executives during decision-making, marketing, etc. Furthermore, the data gathered by information systems can also be transformed into products or used for policy changes to improve our way of living….

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

Stair & Reynolds (2011) defines an information system as a set of components that collect, manipulate, store, and disseminate data and information with the purpose of meeting an objective. Information systems are used in almost every profession and organizations rely on them to interact with their customers and perform their operations effectively.

Margarita S. Resuelo MT 14 – CC  What is LIS? The vital system that is designed to oversee the operations of the laboratory, most especially pertaining to the management, storage, and processing of patient data, is attributed to a Laboratory Information System (LIS) (Orchard Software, 2023). As a healthcare software, LIS involves the integration of computers and information technology to interactively manipulate and completely coordinate all work processes in different sections of the clinical laboratory in a structured, organized manner. It contributes to better patient care and boosts efficiency in the workplace… Read More

Seen in many different industries, whether it be the business sectors or even in the healthcare fields, the systems involved in aiding our collection, dissemination, storing, and retrieval of data are classified as Information systems. These complex networks of technology assist organizations and/or individuals in processes pertaining to the gathering, organization, and managing of all sorts of vital data in a much more structured and methodical platform. Centered on the goal of improved efficiency in any workplace/home setting, Information systems serve as databases that can hold various resources and materials all in… Read More
