Abstract:

Objective To establish on intelligent microbiological laboratory information system（MLIS）,improve work efficiency and reduce error rate by reengineering the operation process and information system of clinical microbiological laboratory. Methods Based on traditional clinical microbiological operation process,an intelligent MLIS was established using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. Results The association between specimen and patient information was established by bar-code,and the whole process of paperless and process monitoring was realized. New clinical microbiological operation process was established. The time consumed from specimen collection to culture medium matching（before inoculation） was reduced by 66.3%,the reporting time of blood culturing was reduced by 80.5%,the error rate of information manual input was 0.5‰,the error rate of report check was 0.1‰,and the report check error rate was 0 in the 3 years after using the new process. Conclusions Optimizing the microbiological operation process and developing an intelligent MLIS could achieve clear and standardized operation process,realizing intelligent information control,which reduces the error rate and improves work efficiency.
