The ins and outs of laboratory information systems. Combining the hospital and reference laboratory.

Regulatory and reimbursement pressure on laboratory and hospital organizations have led to diversified or hybrid combinations of hospital inpatient, outpatient, and reference laboratory operations. Laboratory information system (LIS) requirements to integrate these operations become more complex than for either operation alone, because inpatient and reference operations have different and sometime conflicting priorities. Careful attention to LIS requirements is necessary to implement hybrid laboratory operations systems successfully.

Putting bar codes to work for improved patient care.

Healthcare bar code applications have developed more slowly than industrial or supermarket bar codes, but they are beginning to gain acceptance. Clinical laboratories that use bar code systems have already improved productivity and, more importantly, patient care through reduction of human clerical errors in identifying laboratory samples. Soon, integration of proven technology should expand the benefits of automatic ID to a broader range of healthcare applications.
