Case Study: Mendota Mental Health Institute improves lab automation with Polytech LIS from Comp Pro Med

Polytech LIS Stands The Test Of Time For Mendota Mental Health Institute

Mendota Mental Health Institute, a psychiatric hospital in Madison, Wisconsin, needed a reliable way to support a high-volume laboratory that performs about 75,000 tests each year. The institute relied on Comp Pro Med and its Polytech LIS to keep lab operations efficient, reduce manual entry, and stay current as its needs evolved over time.

Comp Pro Med implemented and continually enhanced the Polytech LIS with key interfaces to MMHI’s EHR, reference labs, and four analyzers, helping automate workflows and reduce errors. MMHI reported that support issues were resolved quickly, and after 30 years of use, the lab said the system had become easier and more robust, with measurable efficiency gains from greater automation and less manual work.
