Rethinking LIMS/LIS Configuration: A Low-Code/No-Code Path to Laboratory Agility

Laboratory system configuration must evolve to support the pace, complexity, and regulatory demands of modern laboratories.

Across life sciences, healthcare, public health, environmental testing, toxicology, food & beverage, and manufacturing industries, laboratories face increasing pressure to scale operations, adapt workflows, and respond to evolving regulatory requirements. While laboratory systems have advanced, configuration models have lagged, shifting control away from laboratories and into specialized, code-centric environments.

This white paper examines how the partnership between Clinisys and Decisions introduces a new model for LIMS and LIS configuration—one designed for the realities of modern laboratory operations.

Decisions is an enterprise low-code / no-code (LCNC) orchestration and automation platform that enables organizations to design workflows, rules, and integrations through AI and visual tooling rather than traditional development. Proven across complex, regulated environments, it allows systems to evolve rapidly while maintaining structure, consistency, and transparency.

Combined with Clinisys’s deep laboratory informatics expertise, this approach gives laboratories reusable, visual workflow components aligned to how they operate—reducing reliance on highly technical configuration models.

At its core, this model re-establishes laboratory-controlled configuration within a structured and traceable framework. Laboratories can adapt systems at the pace of their operations, reduce dependency on scarce engineering resources, and maintain confidence in how changes are implemented. Clinisys and Decisions together provide a sustainable foundation for LIMS and LIS configuration—enabling laboratories to remain agile, efficient, and in control. This supports a shift toward laboratory platforms that can evolve with operational, scientific, and regulatory needs.
