Spectra Laboratories East, a lab division of Fresenius Medical Care North America in Rockleigh, N.J., has installed McKesson’s Horizon Lab laboratory information system (LIS) to improve workflow associated with more than 30 million tests Spectra performs annually.

Since going live on Horizon Lab in August 2009 for front-end processing of electronic orders, Spectra has witnessed increased productivity from pre-analytical to post-analytical phases, according to McKesson, of San Francisco.
