Abstrak
The use of information technology has transformed laboratory service from conventional way
(by using paper/manually) into using computer-based Information System (IS). The output of
computer-based IS could also be used for management as service quality improvement. Patient data
along with their laboratory test result stored electronically in IS become a valuable asset for the
clinical laboratory as well as the patient itself. PT. Populer Sarana Medika is trying to utilize
information technology as their competitive strategy to improve interoperability with agencies, to
integrate information systems between their departments, and also to improve their overall quality of
service. This paper mainly discuss about the use of Rapid Application Development (RAD) method in
the development of Clinical Laboratory Information System (CLIS). RAD method could accelerate the
development of IS which is normally done in 180 days (minimum) to only 30-90 days. By using RAD
method, it is expected that the IS would be easier to implement and quicker to develop. The result
shows that CLIS is built within 5 months and the score of ease of use from user is 4.18 out of 5. The
Cronbach’s Alpha of the CLIS evaluation questionnaire is 0.748, showing that it is quite reliable
(>0.60).
