The IT department represents the central axis for management and communication between all the Laboratory's external and internal customers.

Communications structure:

All of our organisation's centres are connected to a telecommunication network that enables a fast and efficient interaction between all our users at anytime and from any location.

- Voice and data integrated network in all centres
- A virtual private network (VPN) with MPLS technology at a national level via data connection with all the different   laboratory's centres
- Radiolink connections in nearby centres
- Internet, courier, email, anti-virus updates etc. service access

Management applications:

All the necessary resources that may ease and optimize the laboratory's routine are managed from the Information Technologies department.

The central axis of these servicesare the LIS(Laboratory Information System)and ERP (Enterprise ResourcePlanning)applications groups.

The LIS system is the main laboratory's work management support which covers from patient data entry to results report, enabling clinical history computer searches, results presentation, laboratory equipment management, etc. The ERP tools complement LIS to support administrative and decision making processes.

The Internal Development department responds to particular and specific laboratory needs, in fields that are subject to constant innovation which require special development projects. In this respect, the Quality Asurance Unit (QAU) and the validation (21 CFR Part 11)and safety (LOPD)integrated projects are of special significance.
