[Integration]LIS Integration Development

Healthcare Integrations develops Laboratory Information System (LIS) integrations, including LIS-to-LIS and LIS-to-EHR connections, to exchange orders, results, billing, demographics, and more using HL7 and FHIR standards. We also create laboratory instrument integrations to seamlessly connect lab instruments with LIS platforms.

How We Can Help

Laboratories generate most of the data used by providers to make medical decisions and develop treatment plans for patients, so it’s no surprise that seamless data exchange is critical for the highest-quality laboratories. From exchanging electronic test orders and results with providers to billing and reimbursement exchange with payers, laboratories must integrate with a variety of systems internally and externally to succeed and grow.

Healthcare Integrations was founded on building integrations with laboratories, integrating laboratory information systems (LIS) with EHRs, billing platforms, and laboratory instrumentation to achieve interoperability and eliminate manual data entry processes. Today, we build LIS integrations to support all workflows within the laboratory, from order intake and accessioning to infectious disease reporting.

LIS integration provides laboratories with significant advantages that go beyond basic data exchange. Implementing the right integration reduces order and result turnaround times, decreases manual errors and duplicate entry, and streamlines the entire laboratory workflow. From specimen intake to final reporting, laboratories can operate with greater efficiency and reliability while meeting clinical and regulatory requirements.

The importance of LIS integration

Laboratory Information Systems are at the heart of diagnostic medicine, handling test orders, specimens, and results. Without proper integration, these systems operate in isolation, forcing staff to rely on manual workarounds and increasing the risk of delays. By connecting LIS platforms with the broader healthcare ecosystem, organizations create a continuous flow of information that supports both clinical and administrative efficiency.

Key challenges of LIS integration

Integrating LIS platforms with other systems is rarely simple. Different vendors support different standards, ranging from HL7 v2 and ASTM to FHIR and proprietary APIs. Legacy systems may have limited documentation, while newer systems often update at a rapid pace. Security is another challenge, as laboratory data contains sensitive health information that must be transmitted and stored according to strict regulations. Scalability also matters: an integration that works for one location must be flexible enough to expand as patient volumes and test types increase.

Benefits of a structured approach

A successful LIS integration project relies on a structured process that balances flexibility with consistency. Clear scoping ensures that all requirements are understood before development begins. Standardized development and mapping practices reduce variability and improve maintainability. Validation safeguards accuracy and prevents errors from reaching production systems. Continuous monitoring adds long-term reliability by detecting issues before they impact operations. Together, these steps help laboratories and healthcare organizations reduce costs, save time, and maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Instrument Integrations For Laboratories

Laboratories often need to integrate analytical instruments with their LIS platform to automate workflows and achieve operational efficiency.

We commonly build integrations with lab instruments made by the following companies:

We can support integrations with any lab instrument that supports HL7 or ASTM standards for data exchange. Please note that some instruments only support results-only unidirectional data exchange.

EHR Integrations for Laboratories

Laboratories often need to integrate their LIS with their clients’ EHRs to exchange Orders, Results, Demographics, and Billing data. These integrations are typically based on HL7v2 standards, but we can support other data exchange mechanisms as required by the EHR or LIS platforms involved.

Public Health Reporting Integrations for Laboratories

Laboratories are required to report certain infectious diseases as set by public health departments at the local, state, and national levels. We help build the necessary integrations for labs to remain compliant and support public health initiatives.

Revenue Cycle Management Integrations Laboratory Information Systems

Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) is a key component of many medical laboratory operations and extremely important to the financial health of a laboratory. Robust integration between a lab’s LIS and RCM software is key to automating these workflows. These integrations will help the lab maintain regulatory compliance, reduce claim denials, and optimize financial performance.

Additional benefits of LIS integration

How the integration process works

Our approach follows a structured process designed to minimize risk and deliver reliable results:

Assessment and analysis: We begin with a thorough review of the existing LIS, connected systems (EHR, RCM, lab instruments), data flows, exchange frequency, and compliance requirements.
Solution design: Based on your environment, we define the data formats (HL7, FHIR, ASTM, etc.), communication methods (API, SFTP, VPN), and mapping/transformations required.
Development and testing: We build the integration in a controlled test environment, validating standard scenarios, edge cases, and error handling.
Go-live and monitoring: Once in production, we provide proactive monitoring, error management, and audit logging to ensure stable operations.
Continuous improvement: We update interfaces as standards evolve, adapt to changes in LIS or EHR platforms, and keep your integrations aligned with new regulatory requirements.

Security and compliance

We ensure that every LIS integration project complies with strict security and privacy requirements. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted following the minimum-necessary principle, and all changes are logged for audit readiness. With these safeguards in place, your organization can remain compliant with HIPAA, CLIA, and other applicable standards.
