Advance patient-centric laboratory workflows

What is a LIS ?
A laboratory information system is a healthcare software solution that processes, stores, and manages patient data related to laboratory processes and testing.
Providers and lab professionals use laboratory information systems to coordinate the workflow and quality control of inpatient and outpatient medical testing, including hematology, chemistry, immunology, microbiology, toxicology, public health, and other laboratory areas.
Laboratory information systems track, store, and update clinical details about a patient during a provider visit and saves the information in its database for future reference.
How does LIS software work?
An LIS is a software system that records, manages, updates, and stores patient testing data for clinical and anatomic pathology laboratories, including receiving test orders, sending orders to laboratory analyzers, tracking orders, results, and quality control, and transmitting results to an EHR, practice management system, or other information systems.
The LIS can include decision-support rules that guide workflow, outreach tools, data mining capabilities, audit capabilities, and point-of-care testing support. The LIS allows the lab to actively contribute to provider determination of patient health status and development of treatments.
LIMS or LIS? How are they different?
Laboratory information system (LIS) and laboratory information management system (LIMS) are terms that are sometimes used interchangeably, but while the two do overlap, they were designed to support different laboratory types and functionality. LIS is traditionally used to refer to systems that support healthcare clinical settings and patient-specific specimens.
LIMS were historically designed to support sample-centric laboratory requirements, such as those of clinical research, or other non-clinical laboratory settings. Today, the functionality of the two systems overlaps greatly, and there are many features in both the LIS and LIMS that accompany the traditional functionality of the other.
