Billie’s Corner – Plan for Your Lab’s Future: Return on Investment in Your LIS
By Billie Whitehurst, CEO
As we enter 2025, the laboratory industry continues to face new challenges and embrace innovative technologies. It is crucial for laboratories to make informed decisions to maximize efficiency and support best patient care.
Considering the ROI of Your LIS
The laboratory information system (LIS) is a vital tool for making a difference. Selecting the best LIS is essential, especially with shifting reimbursements and priorities. Evaluating an LIS from an return on investment (ROI) perspective helps justify the purchase and make the best decision.
Finding the Best Fit LIS
Not all LISs are equal. Invest in a quality system backed by a strong organization. Choosing the least expensive option can be costly overall due to lost functionality and lack of vendor expertise.
