  1. NEW CHALLENGESINLABORATORY INFORMATIONSYSTEMS DR. MILIND M. BHIDE

  2. AIM OF EVERY LAB Consistently accurate result in the quickest possible time at the most reasonable rate

  3. LIS REQUIREMENT • Laboratory Information system. • Has evolved from a glorified typewriter to complex software with intelligence. • Most labs have a main lab and few collection centers • Remote registration and printing of reports • SMS to clinicians and patients • Email of reports

  4. What can LIS do for you? • Help in specimen labeling. • Automatic selection of tests on analyzers. • Sample tracking • Sample retrieval • Multi QC rules. • Inventory management • Superior data management by minimizing errors.

  5. LABELLING ERROR ELIMINATION • Use barcodes • Tube should be barcoded before addition of sample • Aliquots should also have barcodes • Proper staff training required for placement of barcodes

  6. WHAT ARE BARCODES • Numeric or Characters coded as lines • Different formats • Code 39 • Code 128 • Sample ID coded as Barcode • Barcode read by readers on instrument

  7. Bar code printers

  8. CODE 39 • The Code 39 specification defines 43 characters, consisting of uppercase letters (A through Z), numeric digits (0 through 9) and a handful of special characters (-, ., $, /, +, %, and space)..

  9. CODE 128 • High density barcode that can encode more information into lesser space. CODE 39 EXAMPLE CODE 128 EXAMPLE

  10. 2 D BARCODES

  11. ATTACHING BARCODES

  12. C

  13. CONTAINER SPECIFIC BARCODES • Blood sugar fasting and pp for the same patient

  14. LABEL REPRINTING • Reprints required when aliquots are made. • Reprints are required when original barcode is spoilt or unreadable. • Every reprinted label is a potential source of mistake and label reprinting requires to be audited.

  15. BARCODING REMOTE SAMPLE COLLECTION ? • Barcode printing at collection center • Home collection • Bedside collection • Is the barcode attached after the sample reaches the lab ?

  16. BARCODE ERROR RATE • Check digit • Barcode density (Higher density Error rate) • Size of sample ID. • Smaller ID requires low density • Size of Label • Restricted to 50 x 25 mm. • Printing technology

  17. INSTRUMENTS AND BARCODES • Does the analyzer accept primary tubes ? • Does your analyzer have barcode to read sample tubes. • Hematology analyzers : Auto loader • Can a sample be added after the batch is started

  18. Instrument Interfacing

  19. USING QUERY MODE • Re testing should not get ordered if sample re-loaded • Facility to order test re-runs • If test menu is divided across 2 instruments then test ordering should be correct

  20. Remote printing • Convert to PDF and email it to remote site • Use of PDF printer • Google drive • Remote network printer • Windows terminal services

  21. PDF PRINTER • Several free tools available • Virtual printer • Anything sent to the printer gets converted to PDF  Email

  22. Google Drive • Cloud computing. • Attached to your gmail account • Two centers can share files using this utility

  23. Using network printer to print reports at collection center Network printer is a special printer which has RS232 connector (Network )

  24. Windows Terminal Services • Server • Win server 2000 onwards • Client • In built from Win XP onwards (RDP)

  25. Windows Terminal Services • Remote client connects to a server running Windows Terminal Server software • Video, Keyboard and mouse commands are transmitted over the network • Printing command given at the remote client gets processed at the server but prints on the client printer (Printer Redirection) • Cytrix a special tool that speeds up Terminal services

  26. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

  27. Inventory management • Record as the supplies come • Record reagents used as testing is done • The difference is inventory • Check it against average usage and order if necessary

  28. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT • Use 2D barcode provided by the manufacturer. • Scan reagents as they arrive • LIS tells about lot and bottle use • Define re-order level • Reagent lot and bottle (Date and time of first use)

  29. Quality management • We are expected to run 2 levels control for common tests • 30 X 2 ie. 60 values obtained • Print , feed the values • Plot charts • If the day starts at 9:30 when to take corrective action and when does the work begin ?

  30. APPI – VISION DOCUMENT • To increase the member by active membership drive • To conduct continual medical education to advance the knowledge and imbibe the good practices • To represent the interests of the practising pathologists • To start medico-legal cell to support pathologists • To create awareness amongst medical practitioners and general public with regards the quackery in diagnostic practices • To facilitate and improve quality and effectiveness in laboratory

  31. THANK YOU
