The LISPAT system can be installed either locally – on servers located within the pathology lab, or in the cloud – on professionally managed external servers. Each approach has its advantages and limitations. The choice depends on the technical capabilities and organizational preferences of the institution.
| Local Installation | Cloud Deployment | |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Cost | High – server purchase (several to tens of thousands PLN) | None – monthly fee from ~100 PLN |
| Security | Responsibility of the facility (physical protection, network, backups) | Handled by hosting provider – physical security, fire safety, monitoring |
| Local Performance | High – employees work close to the server | Slightly lower for on-site staff |
| Remote Performance | Comparable to cloud | Comparable to local |
| Technical Requirements | Fast, stable connection + proper security | Possible even with a standard home connection |
| Long-Term Costs | No monthly fees after initial investment | Ongoing monthly subscription |
Regardless of the installation type, LISPAT supports both on-site and remote work. All you need is a computer with Internet access to use the system from home, hospital, or any other location.
LISPAT is fully equipped for hybrid work: front desk staff can work on-site at the lab, while pathologists can issue results remotely – without any functional limitations.
Even with cloud deployment, printing results on-site is not a problem. LISPAT allows seamless connection to any server (local or remote) and printing directly from the lab’s front desk.
LISPAT also supports electronic signatures and facsimile printing, so printed documents fully meet legal requirements and can be safely delivered to clients.
