Purpose of the system

Laboratory information systems represent an independent class of complex software systems designed for healthcare. Laboratory automation is one of the typical tasks that have to be solved in large diagnostic centers, hospitals or specialized commercial laboratories. Laboratory diagnostics for the attending physician is one of the most important methods of examining the patient.

The main purpose of LIS is to automate the work of laboratory employees, increase the efficiency of organizing the work of the laboratory, reduce the number of errors and manual operations. The connection of automatic laboratory analyzers is the most important feature of LIS that attracts customers. It allows employees to automatically transfer orders to analyzers and receive research results from them without resorting to manual material management and sorting of responses. Other typical LIS functions are:

• Integration with hospital medical information systems in terms of automated receipt of research orders from the workplaces of attending doctors;
• Registration of material entering the laboratory;
• Distribution of materials (orders) to workplaces, formation of working documentation (tasks) for laboratory assistants;
• Monitoring the implementation of laboratory diagnostics processes;
• Automatic input (or automatic receipt from analyzers) of test results;
• Intermediate quality control, participation in external quality control systems;
• Analytical processing of the obtained data;
• Transmitting responses to hospital information systems, or exporting data in various electronic formats, or preparing results for printing;
• Report generation.
