Clinical Lab Information Management System

For a laboratory to run efficiently and offer quality deliverables requires co-ordination between multiple complex operations. The biggest asset for labs is information. How it gets generated & is subsequently managed is of primary importance. To add to all this there are regulations made by governments which keep getting stricter. All this requires Clinical Laboratories to invest in having the right Information system in place. Besides adhering to the regulatory frameworks, the system has to essential deliver when it comes to improving the overall manner in which a laboratory operates. To ensure this a LIMS has to ensure that all the required tests are performed properly and lab data of the best quality is made available for the right functions at the right time.

The core function however of LIMS has traditionally been the management of samples. The definition of Laboratory Information management System has undergone a lot of change over the years. This has been triggered by the shifts in terms of expectations over the years. Traditional, a Laboratory Information System ensured secure data management of Patient information. A LIMS on the other hand facilitated the comprehensive management of laboratory information, sample tracking, dynamic workflows & instrument integration. However, in the current context the definition actually talks of a system which unifies the deliverables of both the systems. It is now being reckoned as this enterprise resource planning tool which is expected to manage multiple aspects of laboratory informatics having to in parallel adhere to the regulatory compliances. Thus if one were to look at the primary functions of a Modern LIMS, it would begin with having to handle the samples complying with the specifications put down in CLIA, HIPAA, GLP, & FDA. It provides an increasing amount of integration with laboratory instruments and applications and handle electronic data exchange. All this has resulted in significant benefits. The systems are available as on client-server as well as web-based platforms.
