ABSTRACT
Aims
Laboratory Information System (LIS) is developed for plan, organize, and control activities related to clinic, management, and productivity of laboratory services in the hospital. This study was conducted with the aim of comparing LIS performance in two military hospitals.
Instrument & Methods The present study is a descriptive cross sectional study conducted in 2016. The data were collected by referring to the laboratory section of two hospitals, using a valid and reliable checklist. The data were analyzed, using SPSS 21 software.
Findings Hospital B with 48.14%, had a better status than the hospital A with 26.82% based on the data input. Hospital B with 27.39% had a better status than the hospital A with 13.46% based on data storage/processing. The status of both hospitals with 29.94% was similar based on the data output.
Conclusion Hospital B has a significant advantage over Hospital A in terms of laboratory information system.
