How Modern Laboratories Produce and Distribute Reports
September 9, 2025
Clinical laboratories and pathology groups indeed come in all shapes and sizes. In our experience as leading laboratory information system vendors (LIS software), we can wholeheartedly attest that no two medical lab facilities have ever been the same.
That said, whatever the size, volume, or type of lab facility, one aspect remains true for every medical lab: the significant importance of medical laboratory reports, the product produced by laboratory information system software, cannot be overstated.
Because of the undeniable importance of lab reports to successful operations and client relations, it’s on innovative laboratory information system companies, lab partners, and the entire healthcare continuum to work toward the common goal of perfecting lab report configuration and distribution.
