A LIS/LIMS (Laboratory Information System / Laboratory Information Management System) manages the full lab workflow — test orders, sample tracking, analyser interfacing, result validation and reporting.
It connects clinicians who order tests, the lab analysers that run them, and the record where results are stored — reducing errors and turnaround time, with quality control built in.
SBS implements LIS/LIMS integrated with the HIS and analysers, with barcode sample tracking and Arabic reporting, for hospitals and standalone labs across the region.
