Under the general supervision of the Director of Laboratory Services, the Laboratory Information System (LIS) Manager is responsible for the overall management, maintenance, and optimization of the Laboratory Information System to streamline lab operations. This includes ensuring data integrity, system functionality, building/maintaining interfaces, and compliance with regulatory requirements. The LIS Manager is involved in training staff, managing system upgrades, troubleshooting issues, coordinating with IT and vendors, maintaining local and state lab reportable requirements, and developing automated reports to improve efficiency and support quality assurance. The LIS Manager also performs various chemical, hematological, immunohematological, serological and microbiological tests to obtain data for use in diagnosis and treatment of disease as needed.

• Oversee and manage the design, configuration, and ongoing maintenance of the LIS to meet lab workflow and business needs.
• Ensure the accuracy, functionality, security, and integrity of laboratory data, coordinating with IT for system access and security measures.
• Collaborate with IT to resolve data transfer issues between laboratory instruments and the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system.
• Manage system upgrades and coordinate with IT teams and vendors to implement new features and optimize the system for improved efficiency.
• Act as a liaison between laboratory staff, IT departments, and external vendors to resolve technical issues and integrated systems.
• Manage LIS projects, including the validation of new interfaces./systems/middleware for laboratory software, equipment, calculations, and assays.
• Provide technical support and training to lab staff on LIS functionalities, ensuring they can use the system effectively.
• Ensure the LIS and lab processes align with industry standards and regulatory requirements, supporting audits and documentation.
• Work with lab personnel to develop new workflows, update policies and procedures, and integrate scientific improvements into the LIS.
• Prepare detailed reports, memos, and documentation to support laboratory operations.
• Analyze QC trends to identify issues and perform linearity testing within the LIS.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical and operational questions related to the LIS.
• Develop and maintain automated reports and queries to track system performance, monitor quality control, and support management with data analysis.
• Collaborate with other hospital departments (Maintenance, Housekeeping, IT) and sister hospitals to address laboratory needs and resolve issues.
• Report clinical laboratory testing results in LIS as needed.
• Execute and maintain local and state regulatory laboratory reportable requirements.
• Analyze clinical laboratory specimens following the standard methods and procedures.
• Perform tests calibrations and runs Quality Control materials at appropriate intervals, and Evaluates results to decide whether tests should be reported.
• Determines the acceptability of specimens for testing according to established criteria.
• Evaluates the acceptability of analysis prior to releasing patient results.
• Responsible for scheduled preventative maintenance and laboratory equipment calibration.
• Accurately performs and records proficiency testing.
• Assist in regulatory surveys and inspections.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Minimum one year experience as a Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) license.
• Experience in LIS maintenance and management preferred.
• Experience with Truebridge (Evident CPSI) LIS or other laboratory data management systems is a plus.
• Experience with instrument interfaces is desirable.
• Proficiency in Google Suite is required.
