What is the Future for Laboratory Information Systems?

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Healthcare group at Frost & Sullivan (http://www.healthcare.frost.com/) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting an interactive analyst briefing on the Technological Evolution of Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) in European on 18 September 2008 at 3pm BST (2pm GMT).

The LIS module is at an evolutionary stage. Currently, vendors provide LIS solutions that cater to each hospitals requirements. However, the future is focused towards an LIS service integrated architecture, where one LIS module at a remote location will manage and support the laboratory operations of multiple hospitals. Major vendors have already invested in testing prototypes of the remotely operational LIS hub.

The future trend for LIS solutions is through this service-integrated architecture, says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Shriram Shanmugham. In order to stay competitive in the LIS sector in Europe, companies need to revamp their business and technological strategies, and they must give an equal priority to enhancing the relationship with existing customers.

This briefing will benefit hospitals, diagnostic clinics, scientific journals and magazines, LIS vendors, LIMS vendors, and medical research institutions.
