LAB Information System
What is LIS (Lab Information System)
A laboratory information system (LIS) is computer software that processes, stores and manages data from all stages of medical tests of patients. Right from Registration of Patient information and upto Report Generation the System will move and manage information at various stages of the LIS Process
Doctors and Surgeons rely without any doubt on this Result and each stage of the Sample Processing is very important. It plays an important and vital role to aim a Zero Error free reporting system.
Feature Summary
On the Cloud
The new LIS resides on the clould allowing Doctors, Lab Staff and Managers access to instant Data.
Fully Automated
After Sample collection till Reporting, the screens are automated with minimal user input to avoid critical errors
3 Level Authorization
Three levels of authorization provided to filter out errors during Sample Processing.
Results in JSON / XML / SOAP
Portable Patient Results with Secured Access to use Patient Results in your own Application. API Provided for Bridging and securing Patient Results
Ample Customizations
Along with the Basic workflow of the LIS, new modules can be added and existing modules can be customized to suit your requirements.
Dedicated Support
Being a critical requirement we support 24/7 for any downtime or issues and attended to in a phased manner.
User Friendly
All Screens are user friendly and accessable on all devices. New designs and requirements integrated
In The Cloud
The LIS is in the clould. Accessing LIS from any device, any time and any where is just possible .
Interfacing
The LIS Will integrate with your Analyzers with a custom Application or using HL7 Protocol .

Lab technicians and Physicians use laboratory information systems to coordinate varieties of inpatient and outpatient medical testing, including hematology, chemistry, immunology and microbiology. Basic laboratory information systems have features that manage patient registration, blood collection, sample processing, result entry, Lab Manager Authorisation and Pathologist Doctor Authorisation. An LIS stores clinical details about a patient during a Visit and keeps the information stored in the database for future reference.
Maintenance of LIS by a Laboratory helps in various added advantange. Some of them are Critical Data Anaylsis over period of time for a patient allows Doctors to take decisions on treatment to the patients. The participating healthcare providers can use the Data to generate Healthcare Analaysis across group of Employees leading to a powerful successful team of workers as the EHR.
The LIS can also be tested and certified to meet meaningful use criteria or other health IT certification standards, it is defined as an EHR module.
Some meaningful use reporting measures that could involve an LIS include the electronic submission of lab test results to public health agencies and the incorporation of clinical lab test results into a certified EHR system.
Features of Lab Information System (LIS)
Patient Registration
The first step as a Patient enters the LAB is the Registration process. The Patient brings the Doctor's Test Advice and he or she is registered for the Lab Tests to be Administered. The patient is also given a One Time Registration ID so it can be used when he comes again for the Tests. This Permanent ID will allow Doctors to do Analysis based on previous visits.
Sample (Blood) Collection
The Patient is directed to the Phlebotomist who will collect the Sample in various Tubes depending on the Tests requested. If he is coming for a Sugar Test and Post Prandial Test then, he will visit the Phlebotomist again in another 2 hours after Breakfast for the second Sample Collection
Sorting Samples (Taxonomist)
A Taxonomist is a person who will collect all the samples and Sort the Samples based on Departments. The Samples will be given to each Department and they will process the samples by the Lab Technicians. Sometimes the Samples are Shared by Departments. May be like, the Sample wil first go to the Haematology Department, then it will be shared with Biochemistry Department and so on. It is a complex process and time critial as the patients will be coming for the Reports.
Sample Result to LIS
The Processed Samples will give the results on the Processed machine. The machine will push the values to the LIS Backend by an Interface Software. The values that are pushed to the LIS will be stored in the DB and will move to the Next Level.
Department Level Auth
The Results are read by the Department Staff and checked for any errors. Then it is pushed to the Lab Manager for Level 1 Authorisation.
Level 1 Authorisation (Lab Manager)
The Values authorised by the Departments will be authorised by the Lab Manager as a First Level Authorisation. This is the Group level Authorisation and he will again check for any mismatch on the results. Then he will Authorise the Samples and push to Level 2 Authorisation by the Pathologist.
Level 2 Authorisation (Pathologist)
The Values authorised by the Lab Manager will finally be Authorised by the Pathologist Doctor who will finally view if all are correct and then release the results to be Printed. IF there is an error the Doctor will request for a re-processing of the Sample or to check the values again. Once the Pathologist authorise the Samples the results are viewable by the departments and Front Office for Dispatch.
TAT - Monitor Turn Around Time
The TAT is automatically calculated based on the Delivery Time of each test and Partial Reporting is also Possible. TAT is an important measurement in the LIS as this will decide on the efficieny of the Laboratory and the Staff. This TAT will tell how much time it takes to process a Sample and how fast they were able to deliver the report to the patients.
