Laboratory (ETL) Data Extraction
The extraction phase involves retrieving
data from various sources, including
transactional systems, spreadsheets,
and flat files. Once extracted, this data
is stored in a staging area to ensure it
is in a consistent format before the
transformation process begins.
To ensure it is in a consistent format before the transformation
process begins. This step is crucial to prevent corruption of the
data warehouse with inconsistent or faulty data.
LSDE Processor
The diagram above illustrates
the basic extraction
processes.
Lab data can be extracted in
real-time and either copied
to a LSDE directory on your
Laboratory Information System (LIS)
for extraction or transferred to an
external LSDE system for the same
purpose.
Laboratory System Data Extraction (LSDE)
The data integration process plays a crucial role in transforming and unifying information from diverse sources into a cohesive and reliable dataset for the Clinical Laboratory System. By extracting data from Cache/M global arrays, formatting it meticulously, and seamlessly transferring it to external servers, we ensure that our data is not only accurate but also readily accessible for analysis and decision-making. This streamlined approach enhances efficiency and supports superior patient care.
The process begins by extracting data from the clinical laboratory database using the LSDE processor. Multiple files are created during this extraction until it is complete.
Once the extraction is finished, the LSDE formats the data into the required structure. The formatted data is then transmitted to external servers, which include SQL databases, data warehouses, and web servers.
The LSDE maintenance program allows users to set up and monitor operational
parameters for the extraction processes, Lab patient results, master files,
definition table dictionaries, and more.
For details, download the documents found below.
Once the data is transferred, it can be accessed using SQL statements or programming languages such as Java, C#, C++, or Visual Basic.
This data opens up a world of possibilities! It can be utilized for dynamic queries, insightful reports, interactive spreadsheets, engaging web pages, and much more. Let your creativity flourish as you transform information into a powerful tool!
LSDE (Laboratory System Extraction) is a full function application that extracts data from the laboratory system and transfers it to an external server. It can be used as a turnkey +or modified to meet your specification. LSDE software package comes with a menu driven utility that allows you to configure and control the extraction process. Extraction control utility is install as LAB function LSDE.
Laboratory Extracted Data
The LSDE process begins by extracting all laboratory data from the laboratory information system (LIS). This data is then formatted according to the required specifications and transferred to external servers. Finally, the accuracy of the transferred data is verified.
1. Generate on-demand reports on the receiving server.
2. Transmit laboratory data and results to other networks.
3. Create SQL queries for laboratory results on a SQL server.
4. There is no need to develop MUMPS user programs for the
laboratory system.
5. Develop web pages and applications using the extracted
laboratory data.
6. This will reduce the load on the laboratory system
List of extracted data, which is fully customizable to your requirements.
- 1. Patient demographics
- 2. Data dictionaries (tests, departments, tube types , etc.)
- 3. Patients results
- 4. Method codes
- 5. Accession number history
- 5. Customize to extract data you specify from LIS systems (Gen Lab, AP,Micro)
Once full extraction has completed it is converted an loaded into your new database.
LIS it is kept update using LSDE incremental process. Once a day(recommended) LSDE scans transaction global ^LTN searching for specific transaction types.
