White Papers

Sharing is a concept that teaches values such as compromise, fairness, and cooperation. In many cases, sharing is beneficial and encouraged. However, when it comes to sharing mission-critical laboratory information system (LIS system) software between healthcare organizations, the scenario often becomes complex and fraught with challenges.

This was precisely the situation faced by Pathology Consultants, a multispecialty independent pathology practice serving western Oregon's medical community. Up until November 2021, this pathology group had been sharing its medical LIS with another group within the same health system, leading to operational challenges centered around access and control.

This white paper features a comprehensive discussion with Kristie Becerra, LIS System Administrator at Pathology Consultants, who provides an in-depth look at the lab's operational environment before and after LigoLab’s informatics platform was implemented. She explains how LigoLab helped the group modernize, achieve greater control over their operations, and significantly enhance workflow and productivity.
