What is lab information system (LIS) ?

What is LIS? A laboratory information system (LIS) is computer software that processes,  stores and manages data from all stages of medical processes and tests.  A LIS tracks and stores clinical details about a patient during a lab visit and keeps  the information stored in its database for future reference. What is the laboratory information system used for? Laboratory information systems track, store, and update clinical details about a patient during a provider visit and stores the information in its database for future reference. What are the Core Components of LIMS?  A good LIMS has three main components:  Sample Tracking, Protocol Execution, and Storage Organization.  Imagine a lab in which samples are tracked differently by different researchers,  using methods varying between a pen and paper and a massive spreadsheet. The Laboratory module automates the investigation request and the process involved in delivering the results to the concerned department/doctor of the hospital.
