A Case Study on Laboratory Information System

This paper presents a methodology to design an information flow telehealth model with an initial model designed based on standard of Laboratory Information System (LIS) in Malaysia. Ministry of Health (MoH) Malaysia's vision is to have an integrated telehealth system for telehealth services within Malaysia. The idea of telehealth integration has been raised a long time ago and the progress is relatively slow. The recommended information flow model is to strengthen the foundation of the integration model. This paper proposes the methodology to achieve the goal, which is to design an information flow model for Malaysia. Initial study has been done to design the information flow model in LIS. The designed model is a preliminary step prior to achieve the bigger scale for Malaysia. Ubiquitous technology is also taken into consideration to be the strong point of the model. In conclusion, this paper shows the significance of information flow model prior achieving integration.
