LIMS MAKES LABS ________ & _________, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF
SAMPLES
MORE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE
Functional Requirements and Features of LIMS
- Sample Management
- Workflow Management
- Reporting
- EHR/EMR
- Mobile
- ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
the question “Where it’s been, and where it needs to go next?” is under what function requirement of LIMS?
Sample Management
• Who or what the sample was taken from? • Which researchers/providers are working with it? • Where it’s been, and where it needs to go next? • How to store it? • When it needs to move?
these are under what functional requirements of LIMS?
sample management
• Records Keeping •Decision Making • Work assignments • Suggest instruments based on preset rules • Suggest protocols and procedures based on what you need
Workflow Management
Which instruments get used the most?
•How long is your backlog?
• What is the average time it takes for your lab to process a sample?
•Useful for data analysis and processing
Reporting
Patient Check in and Billing
EHR/EMR
as smartphones become more and more
acceptable in the lab, consider whether it will be useful
Mobile
- Helps monitor your inventory
* Notifies when your stocks are low
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
- Electronic lab notebooks
- Sample management programs
- Process execution software
- Records management software
- Applications to interface with analytical instruments or data systems
- Workflow tools
- Client tracking applications
- Best practice and compliance databases
- Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software
