Abstract | The implementation of Laboratory Management Information Systems (LMIS) is a pivotal step toward modernizing India's diagnostic infrastructure and enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness of laboratory operations. By automating critical processes such as patient data management, sample tracking, and results reporting, LMIS improves diagnostic reliability and supports robust public health responses. Globally, countries like China, South Korea, and Singapore have leveraged LMIS to strengthen disease surveillance and healthcare delivery. However, in India, the adoption of LMIS remains uneven, with private laboratories in urban areas advancing faster than resource-constrained public laboratories, particularly in rural regions. Key challenges include infrastructure gaps, high implementation costs, and workforce limitations. Recognizing these barriers, the Indian government has initiated programs such as the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM) and PM-ABHIM to integrate LMIS into the broader healthcare ecosystem, aiming to bolster disease monitoring and outbreak management capabilities. This paper explores the current status of LMIS in India, identifies challenges and opportunities, and provides actionable recommendations to bridge gaps and scale adoption. With strategic investments in infrastructure, training, and policy alignment, LMIS has the potential to transform India’s diagnostic landscape and support long-term public health goals. |
