Merge LIS

It is not as expensive as some other options, but you really do get what you pay for

Please look elsewhere for your LIS software needs. I have been a laboratorian for over 25 years, and I have never encountered a less intuitive, less user friendly, more poorly programmed piece of software in my career. The company is average, installation was below average, tech support is perhaps slightly above average in response time- but you WILL need to use them on a regular basis. Upon recently receiving an "upgrade", I believe they actually managed to make the program even "clunkier" than before- which I did not think possible. There is no apparent logic to where the various buttons and menus lead a user, fields constantly need to be re-entered after changing a different field.... I just don't want to see you, my fellow lab worker, subjected to the day in and day out frustration of a very unsatisfactory program. I'm not endorsing any other LIS- that is for you to decide- but please do yourself a favor and pass on Merge.

This is not a functional product for LIS use. Do not saddle your staff with a horrible devised product.
