Disa*Lab support for COVID-19

The experience has been great, results management (especially considering the pandemic mode the country found itself in) was made easy while observing all the QMS requirements for audit trails and security. This software clearly shows to be the result of much research and development over many years and is a robust solution for Medical Laboratories

PROS

This software meets all the requirements for ISO 15189 and accreditation. It has very good audit system and has the flexibility for customization once you know how to create rules for your results. We have been using the software for managing SARS-CoV-2 results and had to develop customised rules for more automated results interpretatiin after posting from analyzers to make it more easy for quick QA reviews without TAT delays for results considering the COVID-19 pandemic. The technical support from Disa*Lab when setting up was just great and they provided the software license for use in the newly established COVID-19 Lab for free, which is very much appreciated by the National Public Health Laboratory

CONS

I have not had experience using the billing module as we used the software in a public health setting so am not sure how that works for private sector application

Reason for choosing Disa*Lab

The country was already using Disa*Lab in other labs so for standardization and ease of integration the same system was adopted for the newly established COVID-19 Lab and the Disa*Lab team graciously provided a free license to the National Public Health Laboratory

Disa*lab is a robust and ever-improving laboratory information system complying with ISO15189

Compliance with ISO15189 leading to accreditation of the laboratory. Improved efficiency, accountability and boosted lab staff moral Ability to have evidence-based decision making due to easy generation of reports

PROS

The system follows the laboratory workflow, tracks samples, has a comprehensive audit trail, user security levels are clearly defined. The system is user-customizable and is scaleable (can work in a small standalone laboratory to huge multi-site laboratory with referrals. Referrals require minimal bandwidth typical size per referral is 1kb. Disa*lab interfaces with all interfaceable laboratory instruments in my lab enabling electronic ordering of tests by once registration is done and automatic transmission or results eliminating typo errors and reducing TAT. Realtime remote user support via skype or telephone from professional and friendly staff and queries are tracked through tickets on an online helpdesk. Disa*lab has robust predefined common reports and allows for export for user to do custom adhoc reports

CONS

The system is a licensed using the per workstation and per year license structure, i would prefer a tier system of saying 1-5, 50-100, etc

Laboratory work made easy by Disa*Lab

It helped me solve records storage problem. It helped to easily trace results It helped to calculate turn around times It solved problems of recording monthly statistics. With this software, I can record as much information per patient record as necessary. The system helped manage misplaced results as it clearly indicate the location of the patient and the requesting doctor

PROS

The easy with which you can access results, It is easy to use and user friendly even to people without computer literacy skills. You can search results stored for as long as you want. The software is easy to maintain. It allows generation of monthly statistics, by test, by department etc. It can be used for inventory management. The software can be remotely managed by administrators meaning they do not need to be on-site to fix problems. This software is relatively cheap compared to others and has a greater value for money for such a price.

CONS

It would be nice to have an alarm system that sound when Turn around time for a particular test is exceeded

Reasons for switching to Disa*Lab

Difficult to use, requires some skill and expensive

CONS

Too many modules (programs): This means that you need to know each and every program. its functionalities and its capabilities. too many things to know.

Service pack 11 (August 2017) will see a significant reduction in the number of individual modules, with additional tools being added to the main DisaLab module.

An Audit Trail - A key feature and an important DISA LAB tool for accredited laboratories.

It saves time and makes my job very easy especially with less paperwork staff can focus on other areas that need more attention

PROS

Integration with my work with DISA is easy to use since it meets all the requirements of medical laboratories as stipulated in ISO 15189.

CONS

Disa should work on the sample management module for storage of samples for easy to use on the freezers - a feature that Disa does not have.
