CASE STUDY
Challenge
Medical facilities and diagnostic laboratories faced issues with fragmented IT systems. Laboratory test results were often entered manually into hospital systems, leading to delays, errors, and increased workload for staff. A solution was needed to integrate LIS (Laboratory Information System) and HIS (Hospital Information System) to streamline data flow and enhance patient care standards.
Solution
MPED Sp. z o.o. developed and implemented a solution integrating LIS and HIS systems, enabling automatic data exchange between laboratories and medical facilities. The integration was tailored to the specifics of various software providers and medical standards.
System functionality
- Automatic transmission of laboratory test results to patient records in the HIS system
- Elimination of manual data entry for test results
- Bidirectional communication between laboratories and medical facilities
- Real-time notifications about result availability
- Compliance with medical data security standards (RODO, GDPR)
- Encryption of transmitted medical information
- Handling of test orders directly from the HIS system
Technologies
- API integrations and HL7 interfaces
- Microsoft .NET, C#
- SQL Server
- Secure data transmission (SSL/TLS)
Results
- 70% reduction in laboratory test result transmission time
- 90% decrease in data entry errors
- Reduced workload for medical and administrative staff
- Improved communication between laboratories and medical facilities
- Enhanced patient care through faster access to test results
Summary
The LIS and HIS system integration implemented by MPED Sp. z o.o. has become a key component of patient service digitalization in many medical facilities. Automating data flow has improved staff efficiency and enhanced the quality of medical services while ensuring the highest standards of information security.
