Core Definitions

LIS (Laboratory Information System)

The information system that manages the full specimen lifecycle from order entry to final report, with traceability for results, quality, and user permissions.

LIMS vs LIS

LIMS typically targets research/industrial environments, while LIS is optimized for clinical medical laboratories. Medrara is designed for clinical and diagnostic lab operations.

HL7 / ASTM Analyzer Integration

A standards-based integration model that links analyzers to the platform for automated order delivery and result retrieval with high accuracy and lower turnaround time.

Medical Lab Supply Chain

Includes inventory control, low-stock and expiry alerts, purchase orders, and fulfillment tracking directly inside the LIS environment.
