1. Which do you prefer IOS or Android? -Honestly speaking, I prefer iOS over Android. The well-integrated Apple ecosystem and the seamless user experience entice the majority of iPhone buyers, including me. iPhones perform more reliably in core functions such as calling, video recording, system navigation, and web browsing than Android. I have an iPhone X, XsMax, iPad & MacBook Air which their performance doesn’t deteriorate over time and is very comfortable and easy to use.

Since machines and technology were created to significantly improve our lives. A technology and machine that has significantly impacted our lives in the present is the smartphone. Both Android and iOS have made significant contributions to how we interact with others, assist us with our duties, allow us to keep a record of the past through images and data, and have a lot more to offer. But out of the two, I prefer iOS. Apple makes both the hardware and the operating system for its iOS, making it a closed environment in… Read More

For this assignment, I checked a review site for the best LIS present today that has a more active community than other review sites. And I found out that there’s a wide range of options and that the choice of LIS depends on its suitability in the type of laboratory it’s to be installed. The review site I checked is great because it contains a lot of information and reviews about the different LISs that is available today. And one of the leading LIS in the reviews that I found interesting is… Read More

Looking at the two, I’d say Android is a better option because it offers flexibility — allowing users to freely modify the system; it’s more transparent; and it has wider developer support as more users use it because it’s more cost-effective (Mcdonald, 2011). However, I don’t think I’ll get to use the advantages it offers because I’m not good at handling computers and the technicals associated with it. It takes a lot of time to learn about it and I don’t think I have the time to invest in learning those things…. Read More

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

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

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

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

1. What is Laboratory Information System (LIS)?   A laboratory Information System (LIS) is a computer software that maintains, processes, and stores data for laboratories to carry out orders and tests. Laboratory decision-makers utilize LIS systems to streamline their daily operations. According to WHO (2023), it facilitates patient treatment, public health planning, and policy decisions by increasing access to high-quality diagnostic tests and delivering accurate, timely information. It is widely acknowledged to be an effective tool for enhancing both internal laboratory data management and external data reporting. It keeps track of crucial… Read More

A laboratory information system (LIS) is a piece of healthcare software that maintains, processes, and retains patient information associated with lab procedures and tests. Basically, it is a system that is geared towards supporting patient-centered specimens. I really believe that its implications will focus more on how this can support the automated procedure for looking through the samples our patients send us, and at the same time, this will open up a space where the human element and automation can work in unison. I am open to the concept that as time… Read More
