Table 18.1 Choice of blood group for exchange transfusion
Laboratory ndings Blood needed for exchange transfusion
Mother and baby of same blood group Identical blood group as foetal cells, Rh-negative
Blood groups of infant and mother are dierent Blood group О
Suitable donor not available Use mother’s cells with repeated washings* Dire emergency Use incompatible cellst†
*Remove plasma by repeated washings. The cells are guaranteed to be compatible with maternal antibody and the lack of natural antibody in the newborn does not destroy the incompatible cells instantly. Eventually when the crisis
is over, they are removed by the developing antibody.
† The transfusion may have to be repeated. The transfused incompatible cells will be coated by any remaining free antibody and will eventually be destroyed. But the process will remove bilirubin and coated red cells of the infant.

A laboratory information system (LIS) is a software system that records, manages, and stores data for clinical laboratories. An LIS has traditionally been adopted at sending laboratory test orders to lab instruments, tracking those orders, and then recording the results, typically to a searchable database. The standard LIS has supported the operations of public health institutions (like hospitals and clinics) and their associated labs by managing and reporting critical data concerning “the status of infection, immunology, and care and treatment status of patients.”
History of the LIS
Advances in computational technology in the early 1960s led some to experiment with time and data management functions in the healthcare setting. Company Bolt Beranek Newman and the Massachusetts General Hospital worked together to create a system that “included time-sharing and multi-user techniques that would later be essential to the implementation of the modern LIS.” At around the same time General Electric announced plans to program a hospital information system (HIS), though those plans eventually fell through.
ii
Medical Laboratory Technology: Volume I
Aside from the Massachusetts General Hospital experiment, the idea of a software system capable of managing time and data management functions wasn’t heavily explored until the late 1960s, primarily because of the lack of proper technology and of communication between providers and end-users. The development of the Massachusetts General Hospital utility multi-programming system (MUMPS) in the mid-1960s certainly helped as it suddenly allowed for a multi-user interface and a hierarchical system for persistent storage of data. Yet due to its advanced nature, fragmented use across multiple entities, and inherent diculty in extracting and analyzing data from the database, development of healthcare and laboratory systems on MUMPS was sporadic at best. By the 1980s, however, the advent of structured query language (SQL), relational database management systems (RDBMSs), and health level 7 (HL7) allowed software developers to expand the functionality and interoperability of the LIS, including the application of business analytics and business intelligence techniques to clinical data.
In the early 2010s, web-based and database-centric internet applications of laboratory informatics software changed the way researchers and technicians interacted with data, with web-driven data formatting technologies like extensible markup language (XML) making LIS and electronic medical record (EMR) interoperability a much-needed reality. SaaS and cloud computing technologies have since further changed how the LIS is implemented, while at the same time raising new questions about
security and stability.
The modern LIS has evolved to take on new functionalities not previously seen, including congurable clinical decision support rules, system integration, laboratory outreach tools, and support for point-of­care testing (POCT) data. LIS modules have also begun to show up in EMR and EHR products, giving some laboratories the option to have an enterprise-wide solution that can cover multiple aspects of the
lab. Additionally, the distinction between an LIS and a laboratory information management system
(LIMS) has blurred somewhat, with some vendors choosing to use the ‘LIMS’ acronym to market their clinical laboratory data management system.
Common LIS Functions
Functions that an LIS has historically performed include, but are not limited to :
z Patient management, including admission date, admitting physician, ordering department, specimen
type, etc.
z Patient data trackingz Decision support, including comparisons of lab orders with their respective ICD-9 codesz Standard test ordering and specimen trackingz Test ordering for point-of-care, molecular, and genetic testingz Quality assurancez Workload and management reportingz Analytical reportingz Workow managementz Billingz Third-party software integration
Clinical vs. Anatomic Pathology LIS
The laboratory information system has been primarily segmented into two broad categories (though other variations exist): The clinical pathology and anatomic pathology LIS.
In clinical pathology, the chemical, hormonal, and biochemical components of body uids are analyzed and interpreted to determine if a disease is present, while anatomic pathology tends to focus on the analysis and interpretation of a wide variety of tissue structures, from small slivers via biopsy to complete organs from a surgery or autopsy. These dierences may appear to be small, but the dierentiation in laboratory workow of these two medical specialties has led to the creation of dierent functionalities within LISs. Specimen collection, receipt, and tracking; work distribution; and report

generation may vary—sometimes signicantly—between the two types of labs, requiring targeted
functionality in the LIS. Other dierences include :
z Specic dictionary-driven tests are found in clinical pathology environments but not so much in
anatomic pathology environments.
z Ordered anatomic pathology tests typically require more information than clinical pathology tests.z A single anatomic pathology order may be comprised of several tissues from several organs; clinical
pathology orders usually do not.
z Anatomic pathology specimen collection may be a very procedural, multi-step processes, while
clinical pathology specimen collection is routinely more simple.
Differences between an LIS and a LIMS
There is often confusion regarding the dierence between an LIS and a LIMS. While the two laboratory informatics components are related, their purposes diverged early in their existences. Up until recently, the LIS and LIMS have exhibited a few key dierences:
1. An LIS has been designed primarily for processing and reporting data related to individual
patients in a clinical setting. A LIMS has traditionally been designed to process and report data related to batches of samples from drug trials, water treatment facilities, and other entities that handle complex batches of data.
2. An LIS must satisfy the reporting and auditing needs of hospital accreditation agencies, HIPAA,
and other clinical medical practitioners. A LIMS, however, needs to satisfy good manufacturing practice (GMP) and meet the reporting and audit needs of the US Food and Drug Administration and research scientists in many dierent industries.
3. An LIS is usually most competitive in patient-centric settings (dealing with ‘subjects’ and
‘specimens’) and clinical labs, whereas a LIMS is most competitive in group-centric settings (dealing with ‘batches’ and ‘samples’) that often deal with mostly anonymous research-specic
laboratory data.
However, these distinctions began to fade somewhat in the early 2010s as some LIMS vendors began to adopt the case-centric information management normally reserved for an LIS, blurring the
lines between the two components further. Thermo Scientic’s Clinical LIMS was an example of this
merger of the LIS with LIMS, with Dave Champagne, informatics vice president and general manager, stating: “Routine molecular diagnostics requires a convergence of the up-to-now separate systems that have managed work in the lab (the LIMS) and the clinic (the LIS). The industry is asking for, and the science is requiring, a single lab-centric solution that delivers patient-centric results.” Abbott Informatics Corporation’s STARLIMS product was another example of this LIS/LIMS merger. With the distinction between the two entities becoming less clear, discussions within the laboratory informatics community began to include the question of whether or not the two entities should be considered the
same. As of 2017, vendors continue to recognize the historical dierences between the two products
while also continuing to acknowledge that some developed LIMS are taking on more of the clinical aspects usually reserved for an LIS.

LabMate ERP LIMS Introduction
What is ERP?
ERP is the acronym of Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP utilizes ERP software applications to improve the performance of organizations’ resource planning, management control, and operational control. ERP software is multi-module application software that integrates activities across functional departments, from product planning, purchasing, inventory control, sales, and product distribution, to order tracking. ERP software may include application modules for the nance, accounting, and human
resources aspects of a business.
Why ERP in LIMS?
Traditionally, LIMS systems concentrate on actions related to sample and laboratory test production, feeding of lab reports and delivering of reports. In today’s competitive environment laboratories have to perform well to maintain prot margins to survive. As management, you have to focus on four Ps of any business activity, namely Product, Price, Promotion, and Place. In the laboratory management context, management has to concentrate on:
z Good laboratory practice or GLP, specically refers to a quality system of management controls
for research laboratories and organizations to try to ensure the uniformity, consistency, reliability,
reproducibility, quality, and integrity of all kinds of tests.
This is all done to ensure good customer services, timely delivery of zero error reports without fail to all types of clients, namely patients, consultants, referring doctors, companies.
z Maintain ISO standards and accreditationsz Keep non-conformance (NC) in check and keep its recordz Keep audit trailz Keep a record of corrective actions and preventive actions (CAPA)z The lowest level of inventory without expiryz The lowest level of accounts receivables and payablesz Proper training to employees for competencyz Proper instrument planning, load management, and maintenancez Instrument calibration, standardization, and QCz Maintain turnover and prots for the principles by processing samples from various market

Introduction
The LabMate software is for pathology labs, X-ray, ultrasound and medical diagnostic centers management. The pathology labs, X-ray, ultrasound and medical diagnostic centers are the most important part of today’s healthcare industry. These centers process large number of lab specimen samples, X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, MR investigations for the patients sent by several independent physicians, hospitals and referring laboratories. The centers have to perform the investigations and give the reports to the patients and other physicians in time. The record of patients and their investigation reports also have to be kept in proper fashion for MIS reports, future reference and billing.
The critical issue faced by these centers is to seek a cutting edge solution to automate its result reporting system along with management of patient records and billing of various related parties. In the current competitive marketplace nicely presented reports along with zero errors would provide competitive advantage to the lab or diagnostic center. Assessment and quality control of the results is another area of importance. Diagnostic centers use dierent types of reagents and other chemicals to conduct tests during various time periods. The chemical quality and expiry along with the human errors can cause havoc with the results.
The LabMate software helps in solving these problems. LabMate program helps in performing several diagnostic center management functions. Some of the functions, which can be done by this program, are:
z A centralized patient booking and issuing of a booking slip z Issuing of receipt, bill to the patient z Recording of lab results z Printing of patient reports z Maintenance of daily collection, balances z Other management reports such as doctor-wise collection, company-wise collection. Keeping
patient history
z Diagnosis-wise trends z View results of a period with statistical and graphical presentation for quality control.
LabMate does not help in conducting the lab tests in any way.
Who can use it?
The program helps in management of most of the types of laboratory and diagnostic center units. It can be used for clinical, diagnostic center, hospital and nursing-home labs.
LabMate helps in making dierent kinds of lab reporting. Major areas of lab reporting—pathology (biochemistry, hematology, urine, stool, semen analysis, etc.), histopathology, microbiology, immuno-

logy, X-ray, ultrasound, ECG, EEG, echo, CT scan, etc. have been already included in the system. The user can also add on, modify the required investigation in the system through a user-friendly menu­driven operation.
Main functions of LabMate
LabMate is divided into three basic steps:
z Patient bookingz Result reportingz Lab management information reporting
First two functions are the major functions for preparing patient reports. The third function gives critical controlling reports.
Patient booking
The patient booking consists of:
z Adding the patient details z Marking the tests for the patient z Issuing a booking slip, a receipt and a bill
The patient name, age, sex, referring doctor, address is the main information recorded in this step. This record is used in reporting the results of the patient. After booking the patient details, the tests are marked by double clicking a test in a list of tests. The list of tests contains the charges against each test. Total charges to be taken from the patient are added automatically and can be seen on the screen.
After booking, a booking slip is printed out and is given to the patient. This slip becomes reference document for the patient to go to various departments for sample collection and also can be used as reference document at the time of delivery of the report. The patient can also be issued a bill and a receipt after booking.
Result reporting
After carrying out the lab tests, the results can be reported using the booking made against the patients. The result-reporting module is the most important part of the LabMate system. It helps in reporting and printing the lab results. The patients can be chosen in any manner as convenient for reporting.
It is not important to book patients at the time of their arrival. The same can be done at any time before reporting. With this, maintenance of register is necessary and the booking slips, receipts; bills cannot be issued to the patient. The number of tests, which can be reported at one time for a patient, are unlimited (subject to change). This capability combined with ease of reporting is one of the strengths of the LabMate program.
Lab management and information reporting
The center in-charge requires daily information such as:
z Total workload z Number of patients arrived z Tests already done z Tests not done yet z Total collection, reports done, printed z Reports not done, not printed
The LabMate program provides these reports for better lab management. These reports can be produced for a day or for a particular period. For the labs, which have business connections with referencing doctors, labs, nursing homes, and other such institutions, information on the business provided by them can be printed on periodic basis. In case of labs, which are working under panel of some companies, similar kind of, reports can be produced for billing these companies.

Features
To achieve maximum benets from the system, LabMate has following features:
z No preformatted report forms are required. z The test parameters such as method, normal values, measurement units are changeable as and when
required.
z Any new test addition can also be done at any time. The limit is virtually unlimited. z Can report any number of tests for one patient. z Results are reported for only those tests, which have been selected for the patient.
For example if ESR is to be reported for the patient, then only ESR results will be printed in the report and not the entire hematology.

Phlebotomy/ Venipuncture Procedure
PRINCIPLE: This policy establishes criteria for the correct collection of blood specimens by venipuncture.
POLICY: By establishing a procedure for the correct collection of blood by venipuncture many pre­analytical errors and patient management complications can be avoided. Patient safety is the ultimate
goal above all other considerations. Cost, eciency, etc. are secondary to ensuring that in no way will
the patient be harmed by the phlebotomy procedure. This includes all aspects of the procedure including
ordering, drawing, labelling, handling and transporting the specimen. The quality of the patient results is directly dependent upon the quality of the specimen. By providing the highest standard of safety and quality of care customer service satisfaction can be achieved.
Procedure
NOTE: Because it is often impossible to know what isolates or specimens might be infectious, all patient
and laboratory specimens are treated as infectious and handled according to ‘universal precautions’.
Needles and holders are not to be reused. They are to be properly discarded immediately after the phlebotomy procedure. All needles and syringes must be taken out of the original package in the patient’s presence. Never preassemble the vacutainer apparatus with a needle prior to use.
Supplies for Venipuncture
Blood Collecting Trays: Blood collecting trays should be lightweight and easy to handle with enough
space and compartments for the various supplies.
Gloves: Disposable, latex, vinyl, polyethylene, or nitrile gloves provide barrier protection.
Needles and Holders: Needles and holders should be compatible with the tubes selected for use.
Needles and winged blood collection sets are individually colour-coded according to their respective gauze sizes. A large gauze number indicates a small needle, while a small gauze number indicates a large needle. Needles must always be sterile. In order to prevent potential worker exposure, the needle safety feature should be activated immediately after specimen collection and discarded without disassembly
into a sharps container.
For the safety of patients, a patient should never be re-stuck with a needle. Once a needle has been
used for a single venipuncture, it should not be used again. (For example, if a venipuncture results in a
miss, do not use that same needle to re-stick the patient. A new sterile needle must be used each time).
Sterile Syringes: Sterile syringes must remain sterile. If removed from their container and not used immediately they are no longer considered sterile and are not to be used.
Venous Blood Collection Tubes: Venous blood collection tubes are sterile and manufactured to
withdraw a predetermined volume of blood.
