Operational Excellence - It’s Possible When Using the Right Pathology Software
January 15, 2026
Operational excellence is the goal of every independent and commercial medical laboratory. Yet many labs struggle to achieve it because their laboratory information system (LIS) software is outdated and missing critical functionality.
Relying on a patchwork of disconnected laboratory software systems to support anatomic pathology, clinical laboratory, molecular diagnostics, and laboratory billing (lab revenue cycle management) is both short-sighted and costly. These fragmented environments are expensive to maintain, inefficient to operate, and highly vulnerable to data inconsistencies as patient and specimen information is passed between multiple systems.

True operational excellence begins with optimized laboratory workflow management powered by the best laboratory information system software. When medical laboratories adopt a unified LIS platform from a dedicated laboratory information system vendor, one that assumes full responsibility for all lab informatics, they gain a turnkey, agile, and fully integrated pathology lab management solution where every workflow and application operates as a single system.
This unified approach delivers a clear advantage over legacy LIS system software that cannot support a single source of truth, ensuring consistent data integrity, end-to-end visibility, and sustainable operational performance across the entire laboratory enterprise.

The platform modernizes labs by automating processes, streamlining workflows, and eliminating human errors. In short, LigoLab’s combination of medical LIS and lab billing software makes operational excellence achievable while positioning customers to become more profitable and scalable.
With a Fully Integrated Informatics Platform, Laboratory Billing Begins at Order Entry, Not After Final Report
With a fully integrated platform, lab directors and managers can unify their LIS system and laboratory revenue cycle management workflows, allowing the lab billing process to begin the moment an order is received rather than waiting until the final report is completed.

Organizations equipped with automated front-end lab billing and revenue cycle management tools, along with seamless third-party integrations, benefit from real-time verification of patient demographic and financial information. This upstream validation helps ensure clean claims, reduces downstream friction, and increases the likelihood of payment on the first submission.
In contrast, labs that continue to treat laboratory billing as a back-end function are forced into costly rework and payment delays. Missing or inaccurate patient data leads to avoidable rejections and denials, increased administrative burden, delayed reimbursement, and, in many cases, significant write-offs that quietly erode margins.
Transform Your Lab with Scalable LIS System & Laboratory Billing Solutions, Tiered Pricing, and a Partnership Built for Growth
Admittedly, deciding to go with an enterprise-level pathology software solution that incorporates all laboratory information system functions and laboratory billing solutions into one platform is a major change.
Still, the goal of every lab business is to increase margins, streamline processes, expand services, and ultimately scale while achieving operational excellence.
The LigoLab platform checks all the boxes in this regard. Additionally, the LIS system with advanced billing software for labs offers tiered pricing that delivers maximum value regardless of the size of the lab, its testing types, and testing volume.
