  • To identify LIS applications that offer the most strategic leverage in hospitals.
  • To guide pathologists in optimizing LIS for enhanced patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a matrix illustrating generic computer applications against information system impacts.
  • Categorization of specific LIS applications within the matrix cells.
  • Assessment of LIS applications based on their ability to add value to the laboratory information product.

Main Results:

  • The presented matrix visually maps LIS applications to their strategic impact.
  • It allows for the evaluation of which LIS functionalities provide the greatest strategic advantage.
  • The framework aids in identifying LIS applications that enhance the laboratory's value proposition.

Conclusions:

  • A strategic approach to LIS implementation is essential for pathologists.
  • Optimizing LIS applications can significantly improve efficiency and effectiveness in patient care.
  • State-of-the-art LIS, supported by trained personnel, is crucial for future healthcare goals.
