OpenLabs: the application of advanced informatics and telematics for optimization of clinical laboratory services.
OpenLabs has four major objectives: to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical laboratory services by the integration of Knowledge Based Systems (KBSs) with Laboratory Information Systems (LISs) and equipment; to provide and implement standard solutions for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between laboratories and other medical systems; to specify a fully Open architecture for an integrated Clinical LIS and demonstrate the integration of various KBS modules on the open architecture platform; and to demonstrate the integration of OpenLabs modules with existing LISs.
