Rhoge Yvonne F. Abao BSMT – I MT14 – CC [LEC] February 1, 2023   An information system (IS) is defined as a combination of software, hardware, and telecommunication networks to collect useful data, especially in an organization. These components collect, process, store, disseminate, and distribute information to support decision-making, coordination, analysis, and control in a certain organization. Information systems encompass the tools that organizations use to manage the data collected in order to increase efficiency. According to (Strauss, 2022), information systems are composed of 5 major components namely hardware, software, data sources, telecommunications,… Read More

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.

This system combines hardware, software, and communication networks to gather some important data related/within an organization. 

Laboratory Information System A Laboratory Information System (LIS) is that of which that allows the collection, the storage, the processing, the management, and transmittance of laboratory information including patient information, laboratory tests results, etc. Its uses is generally what is already aforementioned, however, more of those include receiving and sending orders, ensuring of quality control, and the aid in the overall ease of providing healthcare.    Artificial Intelligence An Artificial Intelligence (AI), on the other hand is, by words of Burns, Laskowski, and Tucci, a “simulation of human intelligence processes by machines,… Read More

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….

According to emeritus.org, an information system is a collection of software, hardware, and communication networks used to collect useful data, typically within an organization. Many businesses rely on information technology to complete and manage tasks, interact with customers, and stay ahead of the competition.

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. This short video presents a brief overview on the concept of information systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qujsd4vkqFI References: Stair, R., & Reynolds, G. (2020).

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
