Pathology laboratories need to provide fast, accurate, up to the minute results and a high level of customer service. Applitech has created an integrated Laboratory Management System (LMS) to meet clinical and business needs. LMS is an enterprise wide solution, which pro-actively supports the establishment of standards for the laboratory activities by:

• Speeding up the Laboratory Operations
• Providing prompt customer service.

Laboratory Operations
LMS provides a computerized system for sample collection and administration. It integrates customized barcode program. This reduces the labor-intensive processing and the time to deliver the test results and interpretation. The system provides security at all levels to verify the accuracy of results.

Inventory Management
The system views stock balance at various locations and units. This eliminates excess stock and stock-out situations. The system also keeps track of various items consumed by different departments. This keeps a check on the consumption pattern and avoids wastage.

Client Services
The clients can extract information related to the status and results of the test from the system. The interpretation of result is also provided by the system. The system maintains the required information so as to decide the date of receipt and delivery of samples.

Billing
The System keeps track of advances received for the tests and prepares the invoices for different client categories.

Sales and Marketing
The department defines various client categories, the pricing policy for these categories, the sales target for the employees and their performance. The activities of the sales personnel and details of clients visited are captured in the system through various reports to improve productivity by ensuring optimum efforts.

Collection Center
Collection centers act as a conduit between client and the main lab. This module automates the activities of the collection center while integrating them with the central database. It also provides web interfacing to facilitate exchange of information between central lab and center.

Finance
The system prepares the required individual and consolidated reports for Laboratory Operations, Materials Management, Marketing and Billing function.
