Abstract

VARGAS-HERRERA, Javier; SEGOVIA-JUAREZ, José  and  GARRO NUNEZ, Gladys María. Information system of the national network of public health laboratories in Peru (Netlab). Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.2, pp.378-384. ISSN 1726-4634.

Clinical laboratory information systems produce improvements in the quality of information, reduce service costs, and diminish wait times for results, among other things. In the construction process of this information system, the National Institute of Health (NIH) of Peru has developed and implemented a web-based application to communicate to health personnel (laboratory workers, epidemiologists, health strategy managers, physicians, etc.) the results of laboratory tests performed at the Peruvian NIH or in the laboratories of the National Network of Public Health Laboratories which is called NETLAB. This article presents the experience of implementing NETLAB, its current situation, perspectives of its use, and its contribution to the prevention and control of diseases in Peru

Keywords : Clinical laboratory information systems; Medical informatics; Prevention and control.
