Pathology Labs and their functions Pathology
laboratories play a vital role in diagnosing
pathological diseases by analyzing biological
samples, such as blood, urine, and tissue. These
labs are equipped with advanced technology and
trained personnel to perform stagewise tests on
these samples. Unlike traditional diagnostic
laboratories, pathology labs specialize in more
complex and specialized diagnoses, making them an
essential component of the medical field. Also,
these tasks are time-consuming, and it is
advisable to use pathology lab software.

Pathology labs are known to conduct specialized
tests. A few of them are as follows  Histology
- Analyzing the tissue samples for abnormal cells
or structures.  Cytology - Analyzing cells from
bodily fluids, to diagnose diseases.  Immunohistoc
hemistry - Using antibodies to test for the
presence of certain proteins in tissue
samples.  Molecular Biology - Analyzing DNA or
RNA for genetic mutations or abnormalities.  Toxic
ology - Analyzing samples for harmful
substances. Virology - Analyzing samples for
viral infections.

Lab Information Management System As the name
suggests, a Lab Information Management System
is software designed to support the diagnostic
and pathological labs to handle their routine,
easily. This is an integrated software, that
comes with great features like sample tracking
and management, keeping records of patient and
investigation details and generating enlightening
reports from them, TAT reports, etc., These labs
work on a large number of samples every day, and
provide their customers with the required
results, promptly. But every process is
time-consuming and requires excellent attention
to detail and the need to avoid any misses.
Possessing a digital assistant for your lab can
help in achieving your daily needs, without
hassle.

Managing Lab Orders Lab software can organize
the orders that have come in for the day. This
helps in operating the daily activities, at every
stage, and not having a miss.  Sample Tracking
and Management A basic lab software has the
feature allowing the initial steps of sample
collection, accession, segregation, and testing
to be recorded, and tracked eventually. This
helps in having a complete record of the lab
activities online, thereby assisting the
technician in handling the further operations of
the sample life cycle and preventing time
delays.  Machine Interfacing With this service,
the labs can have the results generated, by
either giving a manual input or interconnecting
the devices bidirectionally, thus the efforts
towards test result generation are reduced.

Report generation and notification The final
event of any lab test is verifying the test
results and generating the test report. This is
accomplished online, wherein a certified,
authorized professional validates and approves
the test report and this test completion is also
notified to the customer. Some lab software also
sends an Email report to the customer. TAT
Reports Turn Around Time is an essential factor
that decides the efficiency and genuineness of
the lab that processes a sample. Achieving a
legible turnaround time is essential and serves
as an indicator of how well the lab performs.
This report helps the labs to analyze their work
and improve if required. Thus, using Lab
Management Software to monitor and operate the
day-to-day activities in a Pathology Lab is
critical, and it improves the lab's efficiency
and accuracy.
