Abstract
Summary: This study presents an overview of the architectural infrastructure in which existing laboratory information systems can be made to interoperate with additional modules, offering a range of advanced clinical laboratory functionalities in the Department of Clinical Laboratory (DCL), Hospital »Aleksandrovska«. The infrastructure is based on an open distributed computing platform, and its specification is described using the open distributed processing reference model. The design and specification of a framework for the interoperability of existing systems and new advanced services are described, and consequently, the paper concentrates on the issue of integration. Laboratory Automation is essential to releasing laboratory technicians from simple routine work, allowing them to use their time for more skilled tasks. Further improvement, however, should be possible through a more consistent user interface, better integration into the laboratory workflow, and interfaces that allow the LIS to query instruments regarding their internal operating status.
