10 - LIS & MMS Flashcards
Raw elements or facts that have little meaning by themselves, but when organized and evaluated together have the potential to reveal information.
Data
Data that have been processed, sorted, and presented in a manner that increases the knowledge of the user
Information
An integrated set of components for collecting, storing, and processing data and for providing information, knowledge, and digital products
Information System
- Patient-centric
- Clinical laboratories; hospitals
- Individual patient records
- Diagnostic testing
Laboratory Information System (LIS)
- Sample-centric
- Manufacturing and research
- Batch testing
- Maintenance, product development, etc.
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
Similarities of LIS and LIMS
- Centralized workflow
- Sample tracking
- Instrument integration
- Analysis functionality
- Real-time data accessibility
A software-based application that supports a laboratory’s operations
Laboratory Information System (LIS)
How does LIS support a laboratory’s operations?
- Tracking experimental workflow (test orders)
- Exchanging information with lab instruments (analyzers)
- Recording results
- Providing a search-able database
Information Flow in LIS
(in sequence dapat)
- Patient Registration/Identification
- Sample Collection and Labelling
- Performing Tests
- Releasing Results
- Reporting Results
- Critical step in the workflow
- Creates the patient record
- Necessary prior to performing any test
- May include generation of barcode and RFID
Patient Registration / Identification
Patient Information
- Full name
- Birthday
- Gender
- Address
- Phone number
- Medical record number
- Related discussion on “Laboratory requisition forms”
- May be done manually or electronically
Test Order
LIS contribution – printing of list of patients and their labels, updating of sample status
Sample Collection and Labelling
Communication of test results between the analyzer and the LIS
Performing Tests
reporting of results from the analyzer to the LIS
Unidirectional analyzer communication
