According to the Centre of Disease Prevention, USA – laboratories play a crucial role in the healthcare industry with data from laboratories making up almost 60% of all medical records. As processes become more and more complex, the need of the hour is for technology to play its part in making patient care error free.

Human errors in the lab industry are costly, not only for a lab’s reputation but for the patient’s life. While these errors are 100% preventable if due processes are followed, but that’s hardly the case today. In today’s modern and complex world, zero error testing lies in the implementation of closed systems and processes backed by advanced technology.

The Challenge Today

Labs and hospitals are facing a host of challenges including higher patient volumes, clinical issues, complex problems, stringent regulations et al. All these, in turn, contribute to creating a pressure on healthcare and lab professionals to improve quality while reducing costs and errors.

Technology prevents Errors

From a cost and time perspective, technology is the solution that labs are looking for. A modern Laboratory Information System not only is more efficient but it also speeds up the process, increases productivity, and reduces the Turn-around time (TAT) while eliminating errors.

Comprehensive specimen tracking capabilities and complete online visibility of reports and progress make the case for implementing a Lab Information System.

Since the LIS automates all processes and steps, it eliminates the intervention by manual handling of patients and reports. LIS not only reduces the chances of oversight and reading errors through electronic verification, it also helps control the process from a single window of a computer. Tracking everything across multi-devices and multi-location from a single system is what makes LIS a firm favorite across labs.

The modern Lab Information System is a robust and agile management system that allows complete traceability – from specimens to reports, anytime – any place. The LIS addresses the ‘human factor’ in a complex process, reducing hand-offs and ensuring accountability for lab care.

Labs today are implementing new strategies for patient safety, risk reduction, improvement of efficiency and reduction of errors – the backbone of all these strategies is the Lab Information System.
