The uses of computer in medical laboratory?


what are the test that they use computer to carryout in the medical laboratories? name them.

What do you mean, "name them" Fukkin nobody gives me orders.

One would be complete blood count, or CBC.

Almost every single automated instrument in the laboratory has it's own computer and each is interfaced with the LIS which is then interfaced with the hospital's HIS. Most hospitals have a computer that the physicians or nurses use to enter lab tests. Labels with barcodes print out. Samples are drawn matching patient's name, barcode on wristband and placed on tube. Each machine in lab reads the barcode and performs the specific test that is uploaded from the HIS to the instrument. Then results are downloaded and reviewed and released where they print out at the nursing station. Every aspect of this data is reviewed every day, and trended. QC specimens are monitored, graphed, trended etc. using the instrument computers and lab LIS systems. If you are looking for the names of some lab LIS systems here are a couple: Cerner, Shared Medical Systems, and Meditech. There are lots more - these are the ones I am intimately familiar with. Now if you want a list of laboratory instruments with indwelling computers as part of it's software the list will be a bit longer and not all inclusive cause there are way to many to name - a few brands: Coulter counters, Bayer Advia, Sysmex, Stago, Dade Dimensions, Abbott Olympuses, Clinitek,Criterion, Radiometer. For point of care analyzers also IRMA and shoot I forget the other one. These are only a few. There are many models many brands, many laboratory tests.
