Extension in LMS 5: Management Information Module

In the 2nd half of 2021, DTHS will launch the graphical Management information Module (MiM), which is tailored entirely to LMS 5. The basic module gives pathology laboratories insight into their production figures.

Using enriched data to better support the pathologist in performing diagnostics by making the workflow as efficient and effective as possible and potentially establishing the relationship between medical-oriented data and process data are additions that are on the roadmap.

By analysing historical data, we look for logical combinations that form the basis for enriching data. By handling the enriched data intelligently, it is possible to predict the bottlenecks and thus improve the efficiency of the workflow.

This data science module is integrated with LMS 5 for this purpose and can optimise operational processes directly through enriched data. Consider, for example, prioritising work list(s), proposing additional colouring based on selected criteria or dashboards and online management information of production stock.

If you would like information about the Management information Module (MiM) in LMS 5, please contact us via the service desk on +31 30-6569777 or via Servicedesk.HealthcareNL@telekom-healthcare.com.

 

The largest pathology laboratory in the Netherlands, Amsterdam UMC, chooses LMS 5 from Deutsche Telekom Healthcare

After a tender procedure, Amsterdam UMC chose LMS 5 from Deutsche Telekom Healthcare.

LMS 5 has, among others, a proven integration with EPIC. Deutsche Telekom Healthcare will also advise Amsterdam UMC strategically and has presented the pathology laboratory with an innovative offer aimed at future forms of cooperation with other laboratories and/or the region.

LMS 5 is a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for pathology, which supports the complete workflow of a laboratory. It combines support for the physical workflow (Track & trace) with flow logistics in the laboratory (Distribution Module) and helps the pathologist efficiently record diagnostic results. In combination with an excellent integration of digital pathology, the laboratory gets a powerful and future-proof LIMS for collaboration inside and outside the laboratory.

The capabilities offered through LMS 5 match current and future needs based on the laboratory’s strategy.

Both the AMC and VUmc locations work with LIMS systems familiar to Deutsche Telekom Healthcare (partly proprietary), which makes the migration to LMS 5 easy to manage; after all, we know what we are talking about. Process optimization is a priority on the roadmap for LMS 5 and Amsterdam UMC’s pathology laboratories. As a new member of the LMS 5 Innovation Board, we expect that Amsterdam UMC will provide valuable input based on their experiences to help take innovation within LMS 5 to the next level.

The capabilities offered through LMS 5 match the current and future needs based on the pathology laboratory’s strategy.

Michel Geelen, Laurentius Laboratory Manager, said: “It is important for us to work with a system that can (continue to) support a regional (digital) working environment. We were already satisfied with LMS, but now we can also include the specific needs of the Limburg region in the further development of LMS 5 by participating in the Innovation Board.

Renna Plukker, CEO of Deutsche Telekom Healthcare, said: “During the implementation at Pathologie Laurentius, we further refined our improved implementation working method with the various working groups (ICT, laboratories, pathologists) and experienced the positive results of this in our collaboration with each other.”

Reinier Haga MDC Pathology live with LMS 5

This weekend, the Reinier Haga MDC pathology lab implemented the LMS 5 information system. By doing so, the lab is taking an important step towards digital pathology. Thanks to the excellent collaboration between Pathologie Reinier Haga MDC’s project organisation and Deutsche Telekom Healthcare, the successful implementation of LMS 5 was achieved within budget and on schedule.

The capabilities of LMS 5 match the current and future needs based on the pathology laboratory’s strategy. Sjef van Gaalen, Head of the Pathology Department, said: “Thanks to this system upgrade, we can guarantee sustained and future-proof diagnostic quality, patient safety and our sound business practices.”

Renna Plukker, CEO of Deutsche Telekom Healthcare, said: “After Reinier Haga MDC won the tender, I spoke to Ruben Baumgarten, Director of Reinier HAGA MDC. He pointed out that, besides the LMS 5 product, our reliability and professionalism matched that of the pathology laboratory. We are now looking forward to putting this into practice in our daily work and to further shaping our collaboration.”

ISO27001 and NEN7510 certification extended

Deutsche Telekom Healthcare has once again successfully passed the audit of its Information Security Management System (ISMS) according to the ISO27001:2017+A11:2020 nl and NEN7510-1:2017+A1:2020 nl standards.
