Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) International Implementations

 

Ø INTRODUCTION


 Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS) play a key role in laboratories meeting quality standards, decreasing transcription errors, reducing turnaround time from specimen receipt to reporting of results.

In the last decade, technological advances in laboratory instrumentation have led to higher specimen volumes and a greater demand and reliance on laboratory data to support clinical and public health needs. These advances demonstrated that paper-based record keeping and results reporting were inefficient and could not support the laboratory’s business needs. As a result, there has been a tremendous growth in the demand for adoption of LIMS at all levels. This increased use of LIMS has allowed end users to more clearly articulate detailed system requirements, in turn leading vendors to develop more attractive, viable LIMS options.

Participants who are considering LIMS in their laboratory, will find a starting place and a complete implementation narrative to follow, while more experienced implementers who have questions on certain topics or are looking for a strategic approach to a problem will find the support they need.

Ø Objectives

 At this program's conclusion, participants should be able to:

 

l  To LIMS suggestions for designing LIMS with the goal of optimizing the operation of laboratories

l  Improving care by intelligent management of laboratory information.

l  Improve Laboratory information systems to laboratory operations.

l  Improve  suggestions for improving the function of LIMS of  Information Security, Test Ordering,  Specimen Collection, Accessioning, and Processing,  Analytic Phase,  Result Entry and Validation, Result Reporting,  Notification Management,  Data Mining and Cross-sectional Reports,  Method Validation,  Quality Management, Administrative and Financial Issues, and  Other Operational Issues.
