Position Your Lab for Smooth Transitions with VoiceOver PRO

Switching Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) doesn’t have to mean chaos. For many pathology labs, the idea of transitioning to a new AP System/LIS brings a flood of concerns: Will workflows be disrupted? What happens to our data? Will staff struggle to adapt? 

At Voicebrook, we know that the key to a successful transition lies in preparation. Having the right reporting solution in place before you make the switch ensures your team can move forward without missing a beat.

Challenges Labs Face When Switching LIS Vendors

Many pathology labs dread LIS transitions, for understandable concerns that can include: 

• Fear of workflow disruptions that impact turnaround times and patient care
• Worries about data migration, including the risk of lost or corrupted reports
• Staff resistance to change and steep technology learning curves
• Uncertainty about integrations with lab instruments and third-party software

Switching your AP System/LIS can impact nearly every aspect of pathology operations. Without the right tools in place, labs can experience:

• Increased turnaround times due to unfamiliar workflows
• Data inconsistencies from disrupted reporting structures
• Training bottlenecks that slow operations
• Integration delays that affect patient care

The fact is, most labs will inevitably face a change in their Laboratory Information System at some point. But you can prepare for that scenario in a way that will ease the transition. 

Voicebrook and VoiceOver PRO can help you bridge the gap.

How VoiceOver PRO Bridges the Gap

VoiceOver PRO is more than a pathology reporting tool—it’s a transition strategy. By putting VoiceOver PRO in place before you change your AP System/LIS, you can:

• Standardize your workflows now, so the LIS transition is smoother later
• Train staff in a familiar environment, reducing the learning curve
• Maintain uninterrupted patient care and productivity throughout the change

With PRO, your team continues using the same intuitive voice-enabled commands and familiar user interface they already know—even as your LIS changes behind the scenes.

What Makes VoiceOver PRO Different?

Unlike generic reporting tools, VoiceOver PRO is built specifically for pathology and designed to automate your LIS interactions. That means:

• Voice commands stay consistent across all systems, no matter what LIS your lab uses 
• Templates and formatting preferences are preserved—no need to rebuild them even if you switch systems
• Reporting workflows are reproducible and efficient, regardless of your LIS/AP system or any changes in systems

The key here is that VoiceOver PRO provides continuity. PRO handles all the differences in varying LIS platforms “under the covers” so you don’t have to worry about it.

“If you don’t have PRO and your lab switches its LIS, you will have to re-learn everything and start from scratch,” explains Andrew Boutcher, a Voicebrook Client Engagement Consultant. “But if you're using VoiceOver PRO, you only have to remember the same voice commands you’ve always used. We handle the rest."

Support That Goes Beyond Software

Voicebrook doesn’t just provide a software tool—we partner with your team every step of the way. Voicebrook has extensive experience integrating with every major AP/LIS system. Our experts help optimize your workflow, offer practical training, and ensure you’re not just surviving the transition—but thriving afterward.

“Voicebrook definitely made the LIS transition for us a lot easier,” said Dr. Ashley Bradt, Pathologist at Munson Medical Center. “It was helpful to have VoiceOver PRO in place before everything else changed. Through Voicebrook, we were able to figure out the new system more easily. The Voicebrook team was there with suggestions, tips, and tricks to optimize our workflow.”

“Optimization is the keyword. VoiceOver PRO has really improved the quality of my life,"  Dr. Bradt continued. "Voicebrook really just anticipates our needs. You actually understand our workflow and are able to make useful suggestions to make our lives easier before we even know it's possible.”

Real Confidence From Real Users

VoiceOver PRO gives labs the confidence to embrace change—without the usual disruption. One example? Voicebrook’s VA customers are anticipating a shift from VistA to Cerner, but the timeline for that transition remains in flux. Thanks to PRO, VA pathologists and lab technicians can rely on consistent workflows—now and in the future.  

“The shift to Cerner will be a significant learning curve for everyone. We need a solution that can work seamlessly with both VistA now and Cerner in the future, whenever that switch happens,” one VA pathologist and Voicebrook client noted. "VoiceOver PRO provides that assurance. When the transition happens, we’ll already have a system in place that ensures consistency and reliability. VoiceOver PRO allows us to modernize our processes today while ensuring we’re ready for the changes VistA will bring.”
