The high cost of completing development on its LabStat laboratory information system has caused ADAC Laboratories to shut down the project, the Milpitas, CA, vendor announced last month. ADAC will continue to support its installed base of LIS customers, but has no plans to enter the market for new LIS products.
ADAC gained access to LabStat through its 1995 acquisition of Community Health Computing, which had filed for bankruptcy five months earlier. ADAC pursued the acquisition as part of its strategy to expand its RIS business.
