Integrated (Homogeneous) System:
• An information system, that supports multiple, horizontal activities and is sold and maintained by a single company
• The degree and method of the integration can vary
• There are other was to integrate: third party, open standards

Thesis
• When the workflows and data structures of two laboratory activities become similar there are compelling reasons to integrate under a single system
• AP and CP are converging in a number of ways, and it is time to think about integration of the LIS systems. Both the convergence and the integration will take time
• We have moved our AP and CP platforms to a single vendor to facilitate this convergence
• While not the only approach, homogeneous integration allows departments to focus developmental resources in other areas

The MGH – Sunquest Co-Development
• MGH and Sunquest have established a long term collaboration agreement for the co-development of aspects of future versions of the Sunquest Copath AP LIS
• Under the terms of the agreement, both MGH and Sunquest will provide resources to the development of LIS modules that will be commercialized (generally available) and maintained by Sunquest. MGH will receive a revenue stream back from Sunquest based on the resources provided and the commercial success of the modules

The case for (homogeneous) integration

Sometimes activities are so different, that an “integrated” system is not needed or is too complex to be effective…
…. or even to be understood

As long as best of breed is providing significantlybetter performance there is no case for integration
There is real value in specialization….… “Best of Breed”

When the performance of a homogenous integration approaches theperformance of best of breed it is time to consider homogenous integration
None of this matters if the best of breedsystem is providing better performance
We think we are getting very close

• Will it the integration be homogenous or will you do it yourself?
• Do you have the resources to do it - – Time– People– Money– Test– Train
If integration is possible and worth the cost…
• Who is in charge?
• Will you be able to maintain it?

Clinical Laboratory for Research and the Bio-repository

• Work had been done in the clinical lab but this proved inefficient and expensive

Integration, systems and standards
• The importance of open AMSI standards in the integration of AP / CP and the LIS of future
• The model of DICOM and IHE
• Asset IDs
• Report (data) Archives
