LMS 5

Home » Pathology Information Systems » LMS 5

LMS Software forms the heart of our solutions for pathology laboratories. Optimal support of work processes starts with the availability of an optimally suited ICT system. For pathology, this is LMS 5. LMS 5 builds on the proven LMS Pathology solution, is fully integrated (also in combination with digital pathology) and supports all key aspects of pathology work processes.

This product is very flexible due to its up-to-date knowledge of the many different practical situations, making it possible to configure all conceivable work processes in LMS 5. The workflow logic ensures that mix-ups are impossible during work processes by using uniquely identifying labels for all the different components of a submittal and by on-demand printing. In the grossing room, the employee can control all peripheral equipment needed on-site, hands-free; the photos or voice recordings appear automatically in LMS 5. By using barcodes, the grossing process can be performed hands-free.

The transport module is used to send samples between locations according to the ISO 15189 requirements. This module can handle all correspondence for the secretariat so that nothing is left unnoticed.

Total Solution Suite

All pathology laboratories essentially perform the same processes. The difference lies in the practical implementation. Differences in strategic choices. Differences in ICT use and differences in translating strategy into a practical structuring of the work processes. One laboratory wants to be completely unburdened by the implementation of LMS 5, while the other prefers to remain fully in control of their ICT.

Our vision is that this diversity should be reflected in the range of products and services we make available to clients. This is reflected in our Total Solution Suite. The Total Solution Suite comprises all products and services that pathology laboratories can use to structure their ICT process support. The Total Solution Suite offers you customised choices when purchasing and implementing LMS 5. This ensures that an optimum is always achieved between the functional requirements on the one hand (Schedule of Requirements), and the implementation and management cost on the other hand (TCO). The possibilities of the Total Solution Suite provide an answer to every possible ICT strategy for every pathology laboratory.

Modules

LMS 5 Software

Key benefits

State of the art solution & Proven technology
Seamless integration with Engagement Hub
Future-proof through customer participation in the Innovation Board
Optionally available in combination with Turn Key & Go! of Plug & Connect Solution

Next gen distribution module

The next generation distribution module distributes the workload of the pathologists in a balanced way across the team. This takes into account the availability of pathologists, specializations, part-time work, etc. In addition to the distribution of the daily amount of work, scheduling is an important theme and it is also possible to look back at the distribution of work over the past period.

Molecular Diagnostics Module (MDM)

The Molecular Diagnostics Module is very innovative and presents the course of the work on a timeline so that it is immediately clear in which phase the research is and whether there are any special features. The module supports the molecular diagnostics workflow. It provides insight into the progress of investigations, monitors the process and supports the user in recording any deviations.

Management information Module (MiM)

The management information module builds on functionality of the well-known Pathlab. It offers very extensive functionality for monitoring laboratory processes and for preparing management reports.

Dashboard for the pathologist

The Pathologist Cockpit provides the pathologist with a quick overview of the assigned diagnostics. With insight into the workload and priority of the diagnostics, the pathologist is completely in control of his own work process.

Services

Turn Key & Go!

Deutsche Telekom Healthcare takes care of the entire implementation process and configuration of the software and all connections
Senior project management with all stakeholders
Focus on final result obligation Deutsche Telekom Healthcare
Limited effort for the customer

With the implementation model Turn Key & Go! the laboratory is fully supported in the entire implementation process, from preparation to production of the new system.

The complexity in the system to be delivered is reduced by working with a standardized LMS setup. This concerns both the LMS Software and the links with third party systems. LMS Software is set up according to a best practice configuration. It is based on Deutsche Telekom Healthcare’s many years of experience in pathology. It fits in perfectly with the way most pathology labs run their processes. Links are delivered according to standard content. Our principle: standardization where possible, customization where necessary.

With the Turn Key & Go! model, we guarantee that the project will be delivered within the agreed tolerances.

Plug & Connect

You decide on the implementation of technical and functional application management
Optimal flexibility and speed in implementation
Significant cost reduction possible compared to traditional management model

Plug & Connect is an implementation and management model in which the laboratory itself takes charge of the technical and functional application management. Plug & Connect is offered by many labs as an alternative to the more traditional approach to implementations and management such as Turn Key & Go!
The essence of Plug & Connect is standardization and maximum control by you as a pathology laboratory. To significantly reduce costs, this requires standardization of both the laboratory workflow processes and the LMS 5 setup. LMS Software is set up according to a best practice configuration, based on Deutsche Telekom Healthcare’s many years of experience in pathology. It fits in perfectly with the way most pathology labs run their processes.
In addition to the standard configuration for the laboratory’s work processes, the basic LMS 5 system is fully equipped upon delivery to maintain many connections, including HL7 connections to central Hospital Information Systems. Links are delivered according to standard content.

Implementation Variations

Engagement Hub

All forms of collaboration with fellow laboratories via 1 Hub
Access to almost all Dutch pathology labs
Legal aspects covered in authorization structure, complies with laws and regulations
Collaboration governance configured by the lab itself
Integration of the workflow in the chain
Deutsche Telekom Healthcare sees that pathology laboratories (have to) cooperate more and more and exchange more intensive diagnostic work. Think of specialization, outsourcing of investigations, consultation and non-location-bound deployment of resources. Examples of collaboration that require powerful solutions. This requires standardization and the use of smart technology. In combination with a solid legal assurance of authorizations in an environment where sensitive information can be shared between different legal entities.
Engagement Hub from Deutsche Telekom Healthcare is a communication platform that enables pathology labs using LMS Software to support any form of national or international collaboration with nationwide coverage. This solution therefore gives you access to almost 100% of the pathology labs. Of course, provided they are also connected to Engagement Hub.
Engagement Hub ensures that the workflows between the labs fit together seamlessly. A direct connection to the LMS is used for this, resulting in a maximally optimized workflow between the laboratories without additional registration burden for the secretariat.
