The Development of an Intelligent Laboratory Information System for a Community Health Promotion Centre

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an Intelligent Laboratory Information System (ILIS) for the community health promotion centre in Kwachun city to help process an increasing amount of laboratory test data in an efficient manner, and to support the clinical decision-making of public health doctors. A sample of 170 cases was used for validation of the system. Overall, the system correctly predicted 92.5% of the cases. This paper also analysed the economic feasibility of the ILIS based on the Information Economics approach. The results showed that the ILIS not only helps screen more people by increasing the capacity of a health promotion centre, but also brings in more revenue to the centre.

Economic evaluations of big data analytics for clinical decision-making: a scoping review

“…Almost all studies found that the analytics could lead to monetary savings, yet only 2 papers included implementation costs of the analytics. 33 , 62 These costs could, for instance, consist of licensing costs and costs of implementing analytics within a hospital system. Authors often recommended to continue development and focus on improving the analytics.…”

Information Systems Strategic Planning for a Naval Hospital

The LIS, combined with a Clinical Information System such as Computerized Physician Order Entry and Electronical Medical Record, can support improvements in health care services [22].…”
