General Benefits Of The Lab Information System

By George Stone


The health sector is among most evolving areas with lots of improved platforms to perform lots of processes that were initially performed manually. New technology has made things easier by bringing forth new digital platforms for data management. This has affected all sectors. The following are some of the universal paybacks of the lab information system.

Patient management has been enhanced. It is obvious now that the data records of patients are well managed and verifiable at a click of a button. The new technology behind this has made it easy and enhanced even the process of tracking and retrieval. The records are well kept capturing all details from personal data to treatment information and admitting clinician concerned.

Decision support is enhanced. With accurate and detailed reports, the management and various stakeholders at different levels can make decisions based on findings on those particular reports. The reports conform to the standards required and meeting the specific needs as desired. The management can track events and items they need to give attention in a very efficient manner.

Quality is assured. The output is accurate with almost zero error because of minimum intervention in the processing and generation of various reports. The necessary audits are easy to conduct and get all information as required. Data transfer from support devices is safe and secured through a common link that is fast and secure. It is hence hard for one to introduce errors during the process.

Workload and management reporting has been made easier and faster. Many processes are automated thereby minimizing the human mental and physical efforts that would have been applied. The process of billing and other transactions have been automated. The focus now shifts to those critical reports that do not show the anticipated consistencies.

Inventory management feature boost general maintenance. You are not supposed to keep looking and finding out stock flow. The system has a module that does that for you. This will be signaling when some of the stock if getting finished and give alerts on when to reorder. This aids in preventing unnecessary spending and even curb the problems of pilferage since the module has to record every transaction.

It also supports continuous sample tracking in actual time frames. This is possible because the platform has a special feature called sample work flow management module that will keep track of all samples verified. Usually, there were delays before the introduction of the system. Now the registration process is easy because once the sample has been identified, no need to re-enter the data again only to progress with processing.

Enhanced production rate is evident. The clients are served fast and given the right medication because the data collected during the process of sampling among other means are accurate and fast generated. Overall, the process of treatment is fast and thus increasing production rates of the involved parties in the data transmission cycle. The process of registration of samples is automatic and very accurate thereby promising accuracy and reliability.
