Lab Integration Software (HL7 / LIS)
Platforms that exchange orders and results with reference and on-site labs electronically.
Last reviewed: June 2026
What is lab integration software (hl7 / lis)?
Lab integration software sends orders to and receives results from reference and on-site labs electronically over HL7 or an LIS interface. Electronic results replace manual entry, speeding clearance decisions and removing the transcription errors that creep in when lab values are keyed in by hand from faxes or portals.
Manual result entry is slow and error-prone, and in occupational health a transcription slip can delay a clearance. Electronic orders and results keep the loop fast and clean.
Below are the platforms we track that support electronic lab integration. Interfaces differ by lab, so confirm which reference and on-site labs each vendor connects to.
Why it matters
Manual result entry is slow and error-prone; electronic results speed clearance and reduce transcription risk.
