The MGHS Laboratory utilizes several different computer systems. The Laboratory Information System (LIS) that we use for the core laboratory and the microbiology section is Cerner/Citation (version 9.1). The LIS is interfaced with the Hospital Information System (HIS) for patient registration and billing. The LIS is used throughout Marquette General Health System for order entry and result reporting.


Cerner / CoPath Plus provides software for the Anatomic Pathology System for histology and cytology applications. The Transfusion/Donor Service area uses the Hemocare Computer System.


As computers are an important component of the Upper Peninsula Health Care Network, ongoing efforts are directed at providing information services throughout the U.P. Region, including a Universal Patient Data Repository. The computer network includes our MGHS Reference Laboratory clients (hospitals, MGHS clinics, and Physician offices) using our computer system at some level of service. QORR / UPCARE is a web-based patient registration, test ordering, and result reporting product.


Service and support for all MGHS computer systems is provided by the Information Technology Department at MGHS. Dennis Maki serves as the laboratory based manager of the LIS and provides daily operational support and advisement.
