Prior to the implementation of Genetics Information Systems Suite, Mount Sinai did not have a computerized system for tracking and reporting its genetics results. As a result, we were dependent on a number of different homegrown solutions (including Access databases, spreadsheets, and paper tracking) for genetics testing and reporting.

The flexibility, cost, and support availability, integrated specimen tracking, micro discrete results, and positive patient ID were among the reasons to buy the soft. Just a few of the process improvements we’re using include bar-coded specimen tracking, handheld devices for phlebotomists, discrete microbiology results, digital pathology images, and discrete blood gas results.
