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

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

What is LIS? A Laboratory Information System (LIS) is a software system that manages and stores data related to laboratory testing and analysis in medical, clinical, and research laboratories. The system is intended to improve laboratory workflows, decrease manual data entry errors, and ensure regulatory compliance. Uses/Functions of LIS The Laboratory Information System (LIS) is used to manage and store data related to laboratory testing and analysis in medical, clinical, and research laboratories. LIS is primarily used for the following purposes: Sample management: The LIS monitors the movement of samples from the… Read More

1. Health Systems- All medical services are delivered through a health system. A robust health system will guarantee that everyone may receive high-quality healthcare without facing financial problems, from how they are financed to the workforce, facilities, and supplies available. Health system is all of the mechanisms and resources and processes that together meet the health needs of a population and importantly meeting the health needs of a population, isn’t just about people being able to access health services when they’re sick; it’s also about everything that needs to be put in… 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

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

Policies are the principles and rules that regulate the management, access, and protection of health information in a health information system, guaranteeing compliance with legal and ethical standards. Processes are the systematic procedures and actions involved in gathering, organizing, storing, and disseminating health information to ensure accuracy, accessibility, and timeliness. Workflows define the system’s job and information flow sequences, allowing for efficient coordination and collaboration among healthcare professionals and stakeholders. Procedures define how to complete specific activities inside processes, guaranteeing consistency, standardization, and quality in processing health information across the system.

Health Information Systems (HIS) have been quite beneficial to me. HIS makes medical information, research articles, and educational materials easily accessible, allowing me to keep current and informed. HIS facilitates data management in the laboratory, allowing us to efficiently record and track patient information, test results, and investigations. It improves collaboration among healthcare providers, increases diagnostic accuracy, and fosters effective communication. Overall, HIS has improved my student learning experience and streamlined laboratory processes, making work more efficient and effective.
