The Laboratory Information Management Systems (Lims) Is A Healthcare Information Technology Platform That Collects, Records, And Organises Patient Data

 

The Laboratory Information Management Systems (Lims) is a healthcare information technology platform that collects, records, and organises patient data gathered and processed during medical processes and testing. The stored data is preserved in the LIS database for future use. Patient check-in, patient demographics, order entry, specimen processing, and result entry are all elements of the LIS.

A Laboratory Information Management Systems (Lims) is a piece of healthcare software that processes, maintains, and manages patient data associated with laboratory processes and tests. Laboratory information systems are used by providers and laboratory professionals to organise the workflow and quality control of inpatient and outpatient medical tests, such as haematology, chemistry, immunology, microbiology, toxicology, public health, and other lab fields. During a provider visit, laboratory information systems track, store, and update clinical details about a patient in their database for future reference.

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.
