Gone are the days when a lab was considered a ‘bane’ on a hospital, an unwanted ‘must have’ tucked in a dark corner of the hospital. Today the modern laboratory is breaking all set rules and moving to the forefront as a Centre of Excellence (CoE). From a drain on resources, the modern laboratory has become one of the highest sources of revenue for a hospital hence the move from a dungy corner to a swanky corner office is understandable.

Today, medicine has become more evidence based – hence it is of critical importance for labs to perform effectively and provide accurate results in lesser time. It is due to this fact, that the movement from a human to an automated system is inevitable.

Here are 5 ways an LIS can change your laboratory game!

Real Time Tracking & Timesaving:

A really time-consuming process for old labs was sample transferring which involved registering outgoing samples and reregister incoming samples. A strong LIS has sample tracking module wherein all this becomes as easy as barcode scanning. That’s not it, real time tracking of samples is also possible wherein a technician can manage the complete workflow on this screen.

Eliminate Human Error:

What may have sounded impossible 10 years back is now a reality. Modern LIS have the power to automate data and tasks on a single platform. This, in turn, reduces laborious manual efforts, saves time and reduces chances of human error.

Increase Revenue:

Modern LIS systems come equipped with Management Information Systems that make financial, operational, inventory, reports and tests available in various formats. A modern LIS such as from CareData Informatics helps lab owners mine data, analyse trends and make accurate projections.

Consumption based Inventory Alert:

The inventory module in Lab Information Systems can automate purchases. Yes, it is possible! Automated purchases are now possible through predictive reordering and expiration alerts. Thus eliminating wastage, control pilferages and cut costs apart from the most important factor of turning down a client due to non-availability of things.

Avoid the Workload and Stress:

An efficient LIS forms the critical backbone of the lab. It automates tasks and processes itself and leaves you with ample time to think about your business. How? Here’s how…

Pathologists and doctors approving each and every report take a lot of time. What LIS does is automate! An auto authorised feature which approves reports with normal value so you can save yourself from the workload and you can focus only on critical reports or reports with abnormal values.

Indeed, Laboratory Information Systems are a game changer for the industry and this is just the start. Are you a doctor, pathologist, hospital owner or lab owner?
