Innovation in the LIS: Implications for Design, Procurement and Management Ulysses J. Balis, M.D. Director, Division of Pathology Informatics & Director, Pathology Informatics Fellowship Program Department of Pathology University of Michigan ulysses@med.umich.edu Pathology Informatics 2012 Meeting: October 9, 2012 Chicago Illinois
An Evolving Tension: EHR vs. LIS Thesis Statement: The contemporary stand-alone LIS model is being challenged by the reality of fullyintegrated primary vendor EHR solutions, which promise to provide functional equivalence of the stand-alone LIS with the added benefits of: Simplified enterprise complexity Simplified deployment logistics Reduced total cost of ownership Simplified long-term stewardship of both software, hardware and data Enhanced patient safety Simplified Meaningful Use certification Justification: If the pathology -owned LIS can be justified as the correct place to house data and workflow in the overall enterprise data model, Pathology will be allowed to continue in its role of being elector and steward of such systems
Key LIS Innovation Areas to Consider Enterprise Data Models and Support for High Dimensional Data Shared Stewardship of Knowledge Management Systems Reverse federation in support of personalized medicine (bidirectional data feeds) Intrinsic support for customized workflow Workflow Engines Transition to zero knowledge interfaces (XML) LIS interoperability Digital Pathology Workflow

Concept: Reverse Federation Not only does the LIS serve the greater EHR connectivity ecosystem, so to should the greater plurality of EHR repositories serve the LIS and its emerging workflow needs, in the capacity of decision support data feeds assisting in report generation. Increasingly essential for: Molecular reporting Personalized medicine Synoptic cancer checklist reporting of correlation of histopathology staging in concert with clinical stage and longitudinal reporting (AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 7 th edition and later )
Concept: Complex data & Thiopurine Metabolite testing: The emergence of Encoded Data from primary lab test data

Summary The future LIS will leverage: Enterprise Data Models and Support for High Dimensional Data Shared Stewardship of Knowledge Management Systems Reverse federation in support of personalized medicine (bi-directional data feeds) Intrinsic support for customized workflow Workflow Engines Transition to zero knowledge interfaces (XML) LIS interoperability Digital Pathology Workflow
