In collaboration with the Dr. Negrin University Hospital (Las Palmas) and UDIAT (Sabadell), Smartlis' capabilities for managing Genetics processes are being expanded.

The project aims to improve all Smartlis utilities for Genetics laboratories and will be developed over the following months.

In the current phase, utilities have been developed for the management, registration and traceability of all processes for each protocol.

From the reception of the various samples involved, the extraction of DNA (kits used, purity obtained, etc.) to its storage (racks, positions, modules), the creation of runs with tracking of racks, samples and reagents used as well as the results obtained.

The resulting information is automatically transferred to the results templates (texts, images, etc.) specific to the protocols used.

During the following phases, new utilities will be addressed, from improvements in family management to the integration of external advanced computing systems.

Smartlis' capabilities for managing Genetics processes are being expanded.

Genetic processes

Billing in commercial laboratories is often complex due to the large variety of clients, multiple rates, specific rules and existing commercial agreements.


The SL Billing module allows this high complexity to be managed

In this case, in addition, our client uses MS Dynamics for the general accounting of the business, so it needs to integrate the billing of laboratory services and other services provided (diagnostic imaging, pathological anatomy, genetic counseling, etc.) as well as costs and other items.


The challenge has been to integrate all the complexity of the business's billing in the SL Billing module and automatically integrate the invoices in the client's MS Dynamics.


Our client is a Spanish laboratory chain with 15 laboratories spread across the country and managed with a single instance of Smartlis, achieving a single management of the 7,500 daily requests and an issuance of 14,000 invoices per year.
The company has 10 different billing entities and various commercial agreements with multiple clients and individuals, which means complex billing rules.
The company's global accounting is managed through MS Dynamics where invoices and costs from various business units of the company are integrated
The integration from SL was carried out by extracting data that was manually manipulated to apply billing rules and importing into MS Dynamics.
This process was complex, slow and with the possibility of errors.


Lab Technologies, together with specialized personnel from the client and an MS Dynamics partner, have designed the technical solution:
• Integration developed in Smartlis using MS Dynamics REST services and/or REST API´s built by the partner
• Integration in Smartlis the interaction with these APIs in the billing workflow
• Integration in Smartlis the accounting rules


• Full automated and operative integration between Smartlis Billing module and MS Dynamics
• Since 1st June 2024 all invoices are processed by this active integration

In a classic system of interconnected LIS you must:


• Install a new LIS in each center
• Install the hardware
• Copy the configuration to each center and personalize it
• Activate onlines
• Define integrations between the different LIS in the network
• Manage each LIS separately
• Integrate each LIS with payers and providers
• Integrate global statistics and monitoring
Estimated time for 3 laboratories: 6 months



In a Corporate LIS (Smartlis) system you must:


• Add the necessary nodes to the infrastructure
• Register 3 new laboratories
• Define tests and sample flows
• Customize laboratories
• Activate online



I want to add

I want to add 3 new laboratories to my laboratory network. Is it easy in the LIS?

It depends on the LIS model that manages your laboratory network.

Tasks to perform:




Many LIS (different installed instances) managing the network of laboratories and interconnected between them, you must, among other tasks, perform:
- Update online connections in the different LIS
- Update test values ​​and flows in each LIS
- Update validation rules in each LIS
- Update print formats in each LIS
- Update reagent, warehouse and order formats in each LIS




The tasks are similar, but since it is a centralized system you will only have to do it once and make small customizations per center.

Estimated times:



- Decentralized system: 50 days
- SMARTLIS: 18 days

Keep doctors and patients informed, in real time

Improving the perception of our clients (doctors or patients) about the services provided by the laboratory is also an important part of the general satisfaction about our work.

Keeping our clients informed about the evolution of the analytical process also contributes to improving this perception since service is personalized and the client also has a closer idea of when the report will be available.

Smartlis can incorporate automated tools to report in real time on the evolution of the process status, from the receipt of samples and orders, the analytical process and the final report.

Depending on the system configuration, Smartlis can send emails or messages via SMS or Telegram informing about the evolution of the status.

The LIS is a strategic tool in laboratory management. There is a total dependence on the main processes related to the entry of information, results, samples and distribution, billing, integration of analyzers, statistics, quality management, etc. On the other hand, the laboratory is a dynamic entity, with continuous changes. and advances that must be reflected in the LIS.

Therefore, it seems reasonable that if the LIS is so important in the laboratory, we should have internal control over its knowledge, operation and possibilities.

However, in the European Union there are different trends depending on the country, the healthcare model and the type of laboratory.

Some European countries assume this idea and dedicate their own resources, with various professional profiles, to the management of the LIS, ensuring its performance, optimizing the organization of the laboratory itself, monitoring the processes and applying a policy of continuous improvement thanks to the information obtained through the LIS.

Another important part is the epidemiological exploitation of results or certain pathologies, their interrelation with clinical information and their use to improve patient care processes.

In other countries, many of these tasks are delegated to the LIS provider, assuming that the professional profiles in the laboratory are of a medical nature and should not or cannot be dedicated to tasks that are considered IT.

Whether it is one model or another (or even a mixed one), there are roles that should be taken into account for the correct management of the LIS. These roles can be shared by different professionals:


Has in-depth knowledge of laboratory organization and general knowledge of LIS capabilities
Decides on the organization of the Laboratories and how, in general, the LIS adapts to them.


You have a deep understanding of laboratory organization as well as a good understanding of LIS configuration capabilities and tools.
Configures the LIS based on decisions made by the LIS Director
Interlocutor with the various specialties in the laboratory
Interlocutor with the LIS provider

The professional who assumes this role does not need special training in IT, but does need to know how to function well in the use of LIS configuration tools. It requires in-depth knowledge of the laboratory and therefore is a profile closer to a laboratory professional than to an IT expert.


This is a role that is gaining importance in organizations. Our LIS system and the rest of the laboratory systems contain enormous amounts of information, which, when exploited correctly, provides great value.

The LIS incorporate standard tools for the exploitation of information, but it may be necessary to adapt them to the type of exploitation we wish to carry out. If we also want to cross-reference information from different sources, we will need a profile of a professional closer to IT. The challenge is that the IT professional has experience in the laboratory environment so that the dialogue with the rest of the professionals is fluid.

The LIS is a strategic tool in the laboratory and requires specialized resources for its correct management. It is advisable that an important part of the knowledge be kept within the laboratory organization. The different roles can be assumed by different professional profiles. The exploitation of information will gradually require new skills and knowledge.

El LIS es una  herramienta estratégica en la gestión de laboratorios. Existe una dependencia total en los principales procesos relacionados con la entrada de información, resultados, muestras y distribución, facturación, integración de analizadores, estadísticas, gestión de la calidad, etc…Por otra parte, el laboratorio es una entidad dinámica, con continuos cambios y avances que deben reflejarse en el LIS.

Por tanto, parece razonable que si el LIS es tan importante en el laboratorio, deberíamos tener  control interno sobre su conocimiento, funcionamiento y posibilidades.

Sin embargo, en la Unión Europea hay tendencias diferentes dependiendo del país, del modelo de sanidad y del tipo de laboratorio.

Algunos países europeos asumen esta idea y dedican recursos propios, con diversos perfiles profesionales, a la gestión del LIS, asegurando su rendimiento, optimizando la propia organización del laboratorio, monitorizando los procesos y aplicando una política de mejora continua gracias a la información obtenida mediante el LIS.

Otra parte importante es la explotación epidemiológica de resultados o de ciertas patologías, su interrelación con la información clínica  y su uso para la mejora de los procesos asistenciales a pacientes.

En otros países, se delega al proveedor del LIS, muchas de estas tareas, asumiendo que los perfiles profesionales en el laboratorio son de tipo médico y no deben o pueden dedicarse a tareas que se consideran de IT.

Ya sea un modelo u otro (o incluso uno mixto), existen roles que deberían tenerse en cuenta para la correcta gestión del LIS. Estos roles pueden ser compartidos por diferentes profesionales:

Tiene un conocimiento profundo de la organización del laboratorio y un conocimiento general de las capacidades del  LIS

Decide sobre la organización de los Laboratorios y cómo, en general, el LIS se adapta a ellos.

Tiene un profundo conocimiento de la organización del laboratorio, así como un buen conocimiento de las capacidades y herramientas de configuración del LIS.

Configura el LIS según las decisiones tomadas por el Director LIS

Interlocutor con las diversas especialidades en el laboratorio

El profesional que asume este rol no necesita formación especial en IT, pero si saber desenvolverse bien en el uso de las herramientas de configuración del LIS. Necesita un conocimiento profundo del laboratorio y por tanto es un perfil más cercano a un profesional del laboratorio que a un experto IT

Este es un rol que va adquiriendo importancia en las organizaciones. Nuestro sistema LIS y el resto de sistemas del laboratorio, contienen ingentes cantidades de información, que explotada correctamente aportan un gran valor.

Los LIS incorporan herramientas estándar para la explotación de la información, pero puede ser necesario adaptarlas al tipo de explotación que deseamos realizar. Si además, queremos cruzar información de diferentes fuentes, necesitaremos un perfil de un profesional más cercano a IT. El reto es que el profesional de IT tenga experiencia en el entorno de laboratorio para que el diálogo con el resto de profesionales sea fluido


 El LIS es una herramienta estratégica en el laboratorio y necesita recursos especializados para su correcta gestión. Es aconsejable que una parte importante del conocimiento se mantenga dentro de la organización del laboratorio. Los distintos roles pueden ser asumidos por distintos perfiles profesionales. La explotación de la información exigirá paulatinamente nuevas aptitudes y conocimientos.
