Our approach to LIS modernisation is based on five key principles
| Principle | Description ▪ LIS not to be fully dependent on a single software and vendor; instead benefiting from new API based integration layer to connect to best of breed solutions ▪ Using cloud-based and vendor-supported open-source solutions where available and reliable; also ensuring flexibility/expandability to allow for potential future business expansion ▪ Ensuring the LIS approach to be used allows for a fully-integrated Pathology organisation, with corresponding benefits (e.g., inter-lab optimisation) ▪ Staying ahead of the curve by investments in Digital Pathology solutions, latest Genetics applications and other IT enabled innovations ▪ Ensuring an efficient and low-risk balance between in-house and vendor-supported capabilities |
|
|---|---|---|
| Modularity in selection and implementation |
||
| Extensible architecture for growth | ||
| Integrated system for an integrated organisation |
||
| ▪ Staying ahead of the enabled innovations |
||
| Investments in distinctive capabilities | ||
| ▪ Ensuring an efficient |
||
| Sustainable solutions and partnerships |

Net run rate benefit of LIS investment expected between $15-20m EBIT p.a. (FY24) through:
-
Direct and indirect benefits of an integrated SDS, including interlab optimisation
-
Productivity improvements as well as commercial opportunities in certain areas (e.g. genetics)
-
Labour efficiencies due to reduced need for maintenance of legacy systems
-
IT operating model to adjust based on new LIS set up
