Significance of Practice EMR - Pathology LIS Interface

Significance of Practice EMR - Pathology LIS Interface Efficient deployment of pathology laboratory information system-electronic medical record (LIS-EMR) electronic interfaces can improve workflow.

A laboratory information system (LIS) refers to a software program that receives and stores requests for tests, and the results entered by lab technicians or from laboratory instruments. Its capabilities include handing patient check-in, order entry, results entry, patient demographics and more. High-quality lab medicine is necessary to make the right diagnosis and provide the right treatment. Pathologists and other lab professionals work with primary care physicians and use lab test results to rule out diseases. Accurate pathology transcriptions ensure that all interpretations of diagnosis tests, procedures and treatments are documented. According to experts, establishing an interface between practice electronic medical record (EMR) systems and pathology laboratories can improve workflow and efficiency in both settings.

Interfacing modern LIS systems with EMRs of health care organizations offers many benefits such as Precise and timely communication between practice and pathology lab: 

With LIS-EMR interface, practices can order lab tests and receive the results directly within their system.



Timely communication of test results ensures the provision of appropriate care.

Smooth workflow without additional staffs: 

Important information can be shared instantly.



Clinicians can automatically review, search, and track results without any additional support staff.

Reduces risk of data errors: Practices can reduce the probability of errors such as 

absent or incorrect patient demographic data



technical errors



lack of medical necessity



lack of pre-authorization



erroneous patient demographic information

Save time and support clean claim submission: 

Labs can receive up-to-date patient demographic and insurance information directly from the EHR.



Interfacing helps labs to reduce operational costs and submit clean claims.

Improves patient satisfaction: 

Turnaround time can be reduced from when a sample is taken to when a result is received.



Interface improves data integrity and contributes to patient safety.
