1993 was a year of turmoil, uncertainty, restructuring and consolidation in the laboratory information systems industry. There were mergers and acquisitions among both vendors and buyers, major product announcements, looming healthcare reform: it was an interesting year.

In summary, the lack of a large budget for information systems should not prevent laboratories from getting as much as possible from existing systems. Consideration of all possibilities can pay large dividends with little upfront expense.
The annual survey of laboratory information systems conducted by Healthcare Informatics and Dennis Winsten & Associates Inc., is intended to provide the prospective purchaser of an LIS a "quick look" at many of the important characteristics of vendors and their products. The survey also may be used by industry watchers to evaluate the ebb and flow of vendor fortunes and the strength of the LIS marketplace.

Healthcare Informatics Clinical Systems Editor Dennis Winsten and Managing Editor Karol Marlowe conducted an annual survey of laboratory systems to find out what solutions are being offered. Also, a wrap-up of trends in the laboratory information systems marketplace.
As the decade of the '90s begins, laboratory information system (LIS) suppliers are aggressively pursuing the use of new technologies to enhance the performance, accessibility, convenience and portability of their laboratory information systems. The past year has shown some exciting progress in new developments in laboratory information systems. This article will provide a brief summary of each of these innovations in laboratory information systems.
Laboratory information systems (LISs) represent a major budget expense. Justification of their acquisition can be conducted through several methods. Work flow, work load, LIS experience, organization, and markets vary among laboratories; thus, each laboratory faces different challenges in determining if LIS acquisition can be justified on a sound business basis.
The proposed Subpart P regulations are well-intended, but in many instances fail to take into account the capabilities of present state-of-the-art laboratory information systems and, in effect, may result in increased cost. This may preclude many laboratories from taking advantage of today's available technologies and systems. However, a number of the regulations are reasonable and non-aversive, and in fact reflect what is presently occurring in most well-managed computerized laboratories. CIOs and MIS directors may be interested in the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) 1990 Annual Book of ASTM Standards, which includes several useful standards pertaining to computerized laboratory systems.
