The Laboratory Information System (DISA), which is being supported by RTCZ, has significantly transformed ART facilities and laboratory operations.
The system introduced a seamless digital workflow that minimizes errors in the management of specimens and results. In the core laboratory, DISA automates specimen tracking, manages test orders, and interfaces directly with analyzers across chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and histology to capture results electronically. This integration has drastically reduced manual transcription errors and decreased turnaround times.
The impact is particularly notable in the histology department at Chinsali General Hospital, where DISA provides meticulous tracking for complex biopsy specimens through every stage from accessioning and grossing to processing, embedding, staining, and slide assembly.
RTCZ has supported the histology department at Mansa and Chinsali General hospitals with equipment and laboratory personnel. By integrating with digital scanners and pathology software, the system ensures a flawless chain-of-custody, directly links patient data to physical and digital slides, and streamlines the 
pathologist’s diagnostic and reporting workflow.
This comprehensive digital management system has enhanced diagnostic accuracy, improved patient safety, and established a powerful
