Aspyra interfaced its CyberLAB LIS (laboratory information system) and CyberRAD RIS (radiology information system) with the Allscripts TouchWorks EHR at Olean Medical Group in Chicago. The integrated systems will serve more than 35 physicians in four office locations. Physicians will be able to create laboratory and radiology orders in the LIS, RIS, or TouchWorks and view the results in the EHR as well.
