Is Your Business Being Held Back by Outdated LIS Lab Technology? 

Whether your laboratory is missing critical laboratory information system functions, relying too heavily on manual labor, or running on outdated processes, LigoLab builds its future-ready healthcare LIS and lab billing informatics platform to solve the issues standing between your lab and peak efficiency.

Here's a closer look at one of the most common problems with information systems and data management, and how LigoLab helps customers overcome it.

The Problem: Low-Performing Laboratory Information System Software

Is your laboratory using low-performing laboratory information system software? If so, you're likely dealing with a familiar set of daily frustrations:

  • Lost specimens and unreliable chain-of-custody tracking.
  • Manual processes that slow every stage of the workflow.
  • Unsatisfactory turnaround times that damage client relationships.
  • Difficulty keeping pace with evolving CAP and CLIA compliance standards.
  • Limited or no support for report customization and customer-specific preferences.

The best LIS software addresses these issues. In contrast, low-performing clinical and anatomic pathology LIS systems are rigid, lacking key features, difficult to use, and unable to deliver the reliability and improvements that modern labs require.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laboratory Information System Software and LIS Lab Solutions

What is a laboratory information system (LIS), and why does it matter?

A laboratory information system (LIS) is a software platform that manages the end-to-end operations of a clinical or pathology lab, from specimen tracking and test ordering to result reporting and lab billing. A high-performing LIS reduces manual errors, accelerates turnaround times, and ensures compliance with regulatory standards like CAP and CLIA. An outdated or low-performing LIS system, on the other hand, can be costly in efficiency, revenue, and customer satisfaction.

What makes LigoLab different from other LIS vendors?

LigoLab offers an all-in-one platform that combines laboratory information system functions with a fully integrated lab revenue cycle management (lab RCM) solution. Most vendors offer these as separate systems, which can create data silos and billing gaps. LigoLab's unified approach ensures that every test is tracked from order to reimbursement within a single, configurable platform.

How does LigoLab help prevent revenue leakage?

LigoLab prevents revenue leakage through automated coding and billing, real-time insurance verification, a built-in claim denial management system, and real-time financial transparency tools. Together, these features ensure that no billable service is missed, undercoded, or left unrecovered after a denial.

Can LigoLab's platform support both anatomic pathology and clinical laboratory workflows?

Yes. LigoLab serves both, with an open architecture and powerful automation engine that make it configurable for the specific workflows, reporting formats, and compliance requirements of diverse lab types.

Is LigoLab's LIS cloud-based or server-based?

LigoLab's platform is internet-enabled and can be deployed either on a local server or in the cloud, giving lab operators the flexibility to match their infrastructure and IT resource preferences.

What is TestDirectly, and how does it connect to LigoLab's LIS software?

TestDirectly is LigoLab's direct-to-consumer lab testing portal. It integrates with the LIS to create a unified workflow covering electronic self-registration, contactless sample collection, automated result reporting, and secure communication with public health agencies. Its design supports labs looking to expand their service offerings and improve patient engagement without adding manual workload.

Is LigoLab the right fit for my lab?

The best next step is to schedule a personalized demo with a LigoLab product specialist. They can walk your team through your lab's specific challenges, demonstrate relevant features, and outline a clear implementation path.
