The spread of healthcare technology has resulted in a massive amount of data, particularly in the form of laboratory test results, which play an important role in medical diagnosis and treatment. However, managing and interpreting such large amounts of data has proven increasingly difficult, particularly for resource-constrained healthcare facilities. To address this issue, we present a multi-agent system for effective laboratory test result management based on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) technology. This paper contains a case study that evaluates the system’s performance and efficacy. The study’s goal is to examine the viability of using a multi-agent system and SaaS technology to manage laboratory test data, highlighting the system’s advantages over conventional alternatives. In the age of big data, the deployment of this system could dramatically improve healthcare service efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
