User management in the LabLynx HealthCloud Physician Office LIS is easy and effective so administrators can take care of adding new users (there is no limit), assigning their access levels, managing passwords and the rules that control them, tracking usage and more.

The User Management menu item is available to logged-in users with admin privileges. Simply click on it and perform whatever actions you require. Simple, easy-to-follow instructions are provided in the HealthCloudPOL Manual's User Management section.

The very first thing that is done once the LIS application has been initially provisioned on the LabLynx Cloud Infrastructure is the setup of at least one user, usually the main LIS Administrator. The online manual supports administrators with step-by-step instructions on setting up users in the User Management section.

Your LabLynx Implementation Engineer will help and instruct you, showing you how to set up users, including login ID and password, password expiration, inactivity auto-logout, etc., level of access and more.

Assign Profiles

When setting up a user in the LIMS/LIS, a Profile must be assigned that specifies the access level the user is allowed. For example, here are three default access level profiles in a Physician Office Laboratory (POL) LIS:

1. Lab Manager - This is the top level of access, and allows all administrative LIMS/LIS functions.
2. Med Tech/Asst - This is the standard lab user, with the profile designed for all standard laboratory functions.
3. Office Staff - This user/profile allows submitting of assay requests/orders and viewing/issuing of reports. It does not allow results data entry or other laboratory activities.

Again, the assignment of these profiles is performed during setup and training, described in the User Management section of the manual. Access profiles vary according to your specific requirements, and you can add and/or modify profiles to suit your needs.
