Development of hospital information systems “Public Health Information System S.I.S.P.” and “Integrated Health Information System S.I.I.S.” with the automation of the request – response – reporting processes for laboratory examinations through H.I.S. communication. – L.I.S.

H.I.S. (hospital information systems) are S.I.S.P. and S.I.I.S. and as L.I.S. laboratory information systems are considered.

In a competitive economic system, the need is increasingly identified, especially in terms of computerization of laboratory diagnostics, to find tools that improve efficiency and reduce implementation costs.

Communication interfaces that enable the connection of laboratory information systems (hereinafter LIS) with electronic medical record (EMR) and/or electronic health record (EHR) systems in institutions are of major interest in this aspect. of health.
In its function of hospital administration of presenting patients (whether outpatient or inpatient), the hospital information system (hereafter HIS) records and manages patient data for each contact of their hospital treatment (EMR). This information is stored and managed consistently for each case, regardless of the need for laboratory or other examinations (EMR/EHR).

In this aspect, the possibility of automating the process (request – response – reports) through the communication of LIS with HIS is an understandable request in terms of improving the quality of the service, shortening the waiting time and reducing the implementation costs.

This required communication interface in addition to automating patient data entry and bypassing double work (the patient in the hospital, through the HIS, is already registered with all his data from admission and there is no need to manually fill in forms every time that arises the need for laboratory examinations) manages to provide, in hospital environments with high flow, also a significant increase in safety by bypassing (at least limited and identified) even the most frequent human errors that are again related to the manual filling of patient data in the application form.

Regardless of the protocols used by LIS and HIS (in this case we are dealing with HL7), in order to fully automate the process, it is necessary to create a communication instrument in order to achieve:
