HIMS. Hospital and laboratory information management.
A hospital information management system engineered by LaQuest for clinical operations, records, reporting and the laboratory, with results flowing straight into the patient record. Available now, run by your team, managed by LaQuest, or shared.
HIMS, module by module.
Clinical operations
The daily flow of patients and departments supported in one system: admit, ward, discharge.
Records
Patient and clinical records maintained with the access controls healthcare requires, with an audit trail on every view.
Reporting
Operational and regulatory reporting produced from the same records.
| Admission, ward round | Today | 08:40 | Ward 3B |
| Laboratory results posted | 09 Oct | 15:12 | LIMS |
| Imaging, chest X-ray | 07 Oct | 11:05 | Radiology |
| Emergency triage | 06 Oct | 22:30 | ER |
Engineered here. Operated here.
Configured for how your institution works, on infrastructure you control or we operate.
Finance, HR, identity and reporting connected rather than duplicated.
Monitoring, support and updates from the practice that engineered it.
Training and adoption so the platform stays in daily use after go-live.
From first conversation to daily use.

The laboratory, inside HIMS.
Samples, workflows and results in the same system as the patient record, so there is no retyping between the lab and the ward.
See LIMSWorkflows
Laboratory processes defined and followed step by step, from sample in to result out.
Samples
Samples registered and tracked from receipt to result, with chain of custody.
Results
Results recorded, reviewed and reported from the same record, straight to the clinician.

Use cases, and what to expect.
Who is HIMS for?
Hospitals and healthcare institutions that need clinical operations, records and reporting in one auditable system.
How is patient data protected?
Access control, audit trails and data protection are built into the platform and configured to the hospital’s policies, to support compliance with the Data Privacy Act.
Can it connect to existing systems?
Yes. Integration with finance, HR and identity systems is part of implementation, and the laboratory module is built in.
Who is the laboratory module for?
Clinical, research and institutional laboratories that need samples, workflows and results in one auditable system.
Can it connect to laboratory instruments?
Instrument integration is planned per laboratory during implementation.
