Improved quality of medical lab analyses
improved process time. It took 3 to 5 days to deliver results. Now results can be delivers the same day
A full patient database.
Improved reliability of the software. The previous one did have a number of bigs and required a lot of maintenance
Improved return on investment thanks to free and open source software … “
