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
test orders may also be sent from the LIS to the analyzer
Bidirectional analyser communication
- Validity check
- Possible flagging of abnormal / high results
- Must be signed by RMT
Reviewing and Releasing Results
Forwarding of result to physicians
Reporting Results
- The systematic process of overseeing and controlling the acquisition and utilization of supplies to ensure both availability and cost effectiveness
- This function consists of the purchasing or requisitioning of supplies and the oversight of the products after they arrive
Material Management
- Supplies arrive in a timely manner
- Spoilage is reduced to a minimum
- Back orders and delays are avoided
- Storage space is used to the best advantage
- The most economically advantageous price is obtained
- Financial resources are not tied up in inventory
Goals of Material Management
Software-based application that monitors the purchasing, accounting, inventory, and patient supply charges of a medical facility / organizations
Material Management System
Flow of Purchasing
- Purchase Request
- Purchase Order
- Receiving Delivery
- Notifies the purchasing
department about the items that need to be replenished - Includes a timeframe and required quantification
Purchase request (purchase requisition)
- Refers to the legally binding contract that notifies the seller/supplier about the items that need to be purchased
- Represents a commitment by the company to purchase a product
- Serves as the authorization for the vendor to ship and bill the company
Purchase Order
- Inspection of goods
- Signing of receiving document / invoice
- Products may be refused / returned to the supplier if they are defective, expired, or not included in the purchase order
Receiving Delivery
A complete list of items such as property, goods in stock, or the contents of a company
Inventory
A continual process of checking stock levels, rotating stock to ensure freshness, ordering supplies in sufficient quantities to meet current needs, and minimizing the cost of carrying inventory
Inventory Management
standard accounting practice that assumes that assets are sold in the same order that they are bought
First In First Out
- The minimum quality of an item that a company can have in stock
- Once the stock reaches the stated minimum quantify, the item must then be reordered
Reorder Level
Stock Replenishment Methods
- Minimum-maximum inventory ordering method
- Just-in-time method
stock level that should prompt a reorder
Minimum Value
target stock level after reordering
Maximum Value
Stocks are ordered the exact time they are needed
Just-in-time method
