EKLIS — a cloud LIS from requisition to reimbursement
EKLIS (working name) is a multi-tenant SaaS Laboratory Information System for US clinical laboratories — physician office labs, independent clinical labs, and small reference labs. This report presents the complete plan for your review; the Confirmation page lists the decisions we ask you to approve.
Executive summary
The lab-first cloud platform
Order entry, analyzer connectivity, auto-verification, and clean claims in one system — live in days, priced per accession. LABGEN's breadth on a modern cloud architecture, with RCM as software instead of a service.
A lab-first vendor gap
Benchmark competitor Comtron LABGEN was acquired by MEDFAR (an EMR company) in August 2024. Incumbents are single-tenant legacy architectures while labs move to the cloud. LigoLab and XIFIN proved the LIS + RCM single-platform economics.
Parity, then leapfrog
Match LABGEN's capability breadth (portals, interfaces, billing hooks) on multi-tenant SaaS, then differentiate: FHIR APIs, mobile collection logistics, AI-assisted operations, and in-product inspection readiness.
