Implementation Of Lab Information System

By Kathleen Thompson


Patient treatment has improved over time. This is being contributed to networks such as lab information system. This is a software that is used in clinics to track and store details about patients. It has features capable of recording check in, order entry, processing of the specimen and documentation of results. The details can be accessed from a database when they are needed.

This transformation in the way operations are carried out, one should understand the different software available in the market from the many manufacturers. This will enable you in this medical field to provide services to individuals effectively and at the same time having high efficiency and cutting on unnecessary cost. This is associated with every aspect of improved technology.

The diagnosis of diseases is carried out in two main groups of testing procedures. They are clinical and anatomic pathology. Clinical pathology is the process of determining the effect or an ailment from the blood and other fluids and also analysis of individual cells. The sections included in this group include, blood banking, hematology, microbiology just to name a few.

Anatomic pathology on the other hand focuses to determine the ailment or the effect it has from the body tissues as a whole through autopsy or microscopically. The specimen is determined from the tissue structures. The involved section is histopathology. Acquiring the tissues to perform the tests may be very procedural and comprise a number of them. This clearly differentiates the two. Advance in technology tends not to bring clear difference from these two groups.

There are advantages associated with the use of this network. One of the many is the ease with which patients are checked in. Tracking and retrieving historic data of individuals already existing in the database is conducted effortlessly. This is possible due to the links created between the computers to allow efficient running of medical facility. It also reduces paper work that is involved in the old way of filing.

Technicians can be overwhelmed by work and due to this they are prone to committing errors. The sample are very sensitive for every individual. To avoid a case of this nature, the specimen is analyzed by automated analyzers which collect the results via a micro-computer. This is an efficient way to manage the details of the tests and significantly reducing human errors.

There are other benefits involved in this operation. They include billing, order management and interactions with other networks of that facility. Payment process is made quickened and the errors that may arise due to poor handwriting in executing medical instructions are minimized. The main objective of having digital clinical operations is actualized when everything is going the digital way.

To conclude, the whole configuration ensures less paper work while more is accomplished. The safety is ensured since access is only by authorized individuals. The particulars entered are validated thus improved data is given. Back up is provided to safe guard the statistics that have been stored. This highly enhances volume and capacity of that facility and instruments.
