How Public Health Labs Use LIS to Respond to Outbreaks Introduction: When Time Defines Outcomes In public health, every second counts. Whether it’s COVID-19, influenza, or an emerging pathogen, the speed and accuracy of diagnostic response determine how fast communities can contain an outbreak. Behind every rapid test result and epidemiological report is an often […]

Reducing Operational Costs with a Value-Based LIS Model Moving Beyond Transactional Software For many labs, software decisions have traditionally been made based on upfront costs not long-term value. A “basic” Laboratory Information System (LIS) might seem affordable at first glance, but over time, hidden inefficiencies, manual labor, and lack of integration quietly increase operational expenses.

5 Common LIS Mistakes Labs Make and How to Avoid Them When the System That Should Save Time Creates Chaos A Laboratory Information System (LIS) is designed to make labs faster, more accurate, and more compliant. But when implemented or managed poorly, it can have the opposite effect creating inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and compliance risks that

Avoiding Revenue Leakage with End-to-End LIS Billing Integration The Hidden Threat to Lab Profitability Revenue leakage is one of the most silent and costly threats to clinical and diagnostic labs. Unlike visible expenses, it doesn’t show up in one place it’s scattered across missed claims, denied payments, billing delays, and untracked tests. And most of

Why Physician Office Labs Are Investing in LIS More Than Ever Rise of In-House Testing Physician Office Labs (POLs) have become a cornerstone of decentralized diagnostics. In the past, these labs were limited to waived tests and basic equipment. Today, they’re evolving performing more complex tests, adopting CLIA certification, and serving as a key revenue

Empowering Anatomic Pathology Labs with End-to-End Informatics A New Era for Anatomic Pathology Anatomic pathology (AP) plays a foundational role in patient care providing critical diagnoses through tissue analysis, histology, cytology, and surgical pathology. But as diagnostic complexity increases and case volumes grow, traditional workflows no longer support modern expectations. Paper requisitions, disjointed systems, and

A Socio-Technical Framework for LIS Implementation Planning 1. The Imperative of a Socio-Technical Approach to LIS Implementation 1.1. Beyond Technicalities: The Case for a Holistic Framework The implementation of a new Laboratory Information System (LIS) is a critical undertaking for any clinical or research facility. These projects often represent significant capital investments and are expected

In-House vs. Outsourced Lab Billing: What’s Best for Your Lab? Billing Isn’t Just a Back Office Function For most labs, billing is the final step of the testing process. But financially, it is the first step of revenue. Whether your lab processes 100 tests or 10,000, how you bill determines your cash flow, profitability, and sustainability.

How Integrated LIS & RCM Systems Improve Lab Profitability Why Integration Is the Key to Sustainable Lab Revenue Laboratories don’t just process specimens they process transactions. Every test performed must ultimately be billed, tracked, and reimbursed. But for many labs, revenue leakage, billing delays, and claim denials remain daily challenges. The root problem? Disconnected systems.

How Interoperable LIS Systems Improve Lab-Physician Collaboration From Information Silos to Seamless Collaboration In healthcare, laboratory data drives clinical decisions. But despite this critical role, many labs still struggle to effectively communicate with physicians. Result delivery is delayed, follow-up questions require phone calls, and disconnected systems cause rework. The core problem? Lack of interoperability. When a lab’s
