Piramal Diagnostic Services is India's largest Pathology & Radiology Centre chain from pharmaceuticals major Piramal Healthcare. They provide advanced diagnostic facility under one roof. X-Ray, MRI, CT-scan or even blood test or any other pathology test used to be conducted in the laboratories and then their reports sent to the centres.

The turn around time for test reports was long and in cases where tests reports were required urgently, this manual process of sending the results of the test was causing delays in diagnosing. Not only was there delay in reporting, but there were also instances that the doctors were not having the status of the reports. Tracing the samples sent for tests was also becoming an issue for the organization. To counter these problems, the organization opted to implement a Laboratory Information System.

Post implementation of the Laboratory Information System the process has become automated from being a manual and error-prone one. Since, the data transfer about a test result takes place directly from the medical equipment to the LIS application. manual entries no longer happens thereby eleminating chances of error. Also the doctors can authenticate the reports online by giving their digital signatures.

Now as a future plan, Piramal Diagnostic wants to develop a patient service module on top of this LIS solution through which the patient would be able to take his report online by logging in through a website.
