Scale Your Business and Improve an Important Business Metric by Partnering with LigoLab for Your LIS System Solution
February 28, 2025
In an article featured at Entrepreneur.com, Daniel Priestly asks if you, as a business owner, would rather enter a tree-felling competition with a highly-motivated team of lumberjacks with sharp axes, or low-skilled and barely motivated teenagers with industrial-strength chainsaws.
Priestly used this comparison to show that technology - and not motivation - is the leading factor for successful business owners across all categories.
Priestly views revenue-per-person (RPP, calculated as total revenue divided by the total number of full-time employees) as a key metric and a true indicator of how successful a business is likely to be. In the article, he presents several examples (Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft) all to drive home the fact that technology-driven businesses earn more revenue per employee and are thereby more likely to succeed.
Now let’s apply RPP to the healthcare industry, specifically pathology, where the trend is business consolidation with pathologists constantly under pressure to improve efficiency thanks to fast-growing patient volumes and lower margins per case.
Add to those depressing trends the fact that payers continue to make it very difficult for medical labs to receive reimbursement for services rendered, and you can see why it’s essential that modern day labs adopt innovative pathology lab software technologies and processes to improve relationships with customers, streamline operations, and maximize the value of their employees.
At LigoLab (from Latin ligo means “to unite”), we offer an all-in-one medical LIS and lab billing platform as an essential comprehensive solution that will increase your business’ RPP and position your lab for future growth.
Our advanced LIS software platform does this by increasing efficiency with automation and modern LIS laboratory information system functions, all while supporting your lab’s desire to add new lines of organizational revenue easily as it scales.

Let’s highlight how LigoLab can improve your RPP and future-proof your lab.

LigoLab’s Integrated and Comprehensive Informatics Platform
LigoLab’s laboratory information system (LIS) software platform is designed to support anatomic pathology (LIS pathology), clinical laboratory (LIS medical), and molecular diagnostics (molecular LIS) workflows, laboratory revenue cycle management (lab RCM) and direct-to-consumer lab testing (TestDirectly) - all within a single, unified informatics system. By fully integrating healthcare LIS capabilities and lab billing within a centralized database, LigoLab eliminates the inefficiencies of managing multiple disconnected laboratory software systems, removing the need for fragile interfaces and suboptimal bridge solutions.
LigoLab powers customers to modernize laboratories by streamlining and simplifying processes, improving clinical workflow, and eliminating human error and lost specimens. The LigoLab platform is intuitive and easy to learn, accessible from anywhere at any time, and scalable. It drives business growth, reduces labor costs, and increases revenue while improving patient care and satisfaction.

LigoLab’s Lab Pathology Software Sub-Licensing Agreement
LigoLab encourages its lab partners to sub-license to their customers the full capabilities of the LigoLab platform (LIS system and lab RCM functionality) at no additional cost. To clarify, a LigoLab client lab business can, at its sole discretion, offer LIS system software and laboratory billing capabilities to its customer base for their use and benefit.
Imagine having a complete and configurable lab information system solution with an integrated lab RCM module that you can offer to other clinical labs and pathology groups, helping them become more efficient while improving your business’ bottom line? This client-friendly agreement between LigoLab and its partner labs has proven to be a game changer for business owners looking toward the future of pathology.
