Laboratory systems
A laboratory information system tracks every specimen from order to result.
Overview
What it does
The LIS manages test orders, specimen tracking, instrument connections, and result reporting. Clinical, anatomic pathology, and molecular labs depend on it to keep turnaround times short and results accurate. It also supports the quality and compliance records that labs must keep.
How to choose
Match the system to your lab type. An LIS built for clinical chemistry handles anatomic pathology poorly, and the reverse is also true.
Features
Key features to look for
Specimen tracking
Barcode tracking that follows each sample through the lab.
Instrument interfaces
Connections that pull results directly from analyzers.
Result reporting
Reports that reach ordering providers through the EHR, a portal, or fax.
Quality control
QC records and audit trails that support CLIA and CAP requirements.
