M9: LMIS Flashcards
Ultimate goal: Release result within the ___________.
shortest turn-around-time
provides accurate records of each sample, from the moment it is received in the lab throughout its life cycle.
Sample Management / LIMS Sample management system
control files into a particular instruments and direct its functioning
Instrumentation Integration
- ensures more secure data management.
- reduces data processing time and reporting.
Data integration
The LIMS has full control over procedure execution.
Procedure Examination
- enhances work in laboratories by facilitating configuration and the process of archiving
- reduction of paper usage.
Data management
Automate and control the process of audit, detects irregularities and immediately reports them to minimize potential damage.
Audit Management
Reduces the risk of human error.
Barcode Handling
Important on forensic labs, in evidence collections, retention and procedures of disposal.
Chain of Custody (COC)
Failure to comply with regulations is likely to cause huge losses and falsities.
Compliance
Streamlines and facilitates communication with associated clients.
Customer Relationship Management
Upload and index documents almost any type of file and size, provide text search, convert and export to PDFs and add documents as attachments.
Document Management
Schedule important maintenance actions and calibrations.
Instrument Calibration and Maintenance
Measure, record and control inventories, as well as manage laboratory equipment.
Inventory and Equipment Management
Provides fast and dependable interfaces
Manual and Electronic Data Entry
Unifies and arranges all the procedure performed in the lab.
Method Management
Works as a natural extension of how work was planned and managed before its implementation.
Personnel and Workload Management
Schedules and plan trainings for lab technicians.
Training Management
Runs efficient quality checks of samples or products.
Quality Assurance and Control
Create and schedule reports.
Reports
Track the amount of time an employee spends at work. Useful for payroll purposes.
Time Tracking
The purpose of implementing LIS:
➢ Efficiency
➢ Safety
➢ Compliance
➢ Speed
➢ Work Comfort
➢ Provide Medical Technologists with easy, yet powerful functionalites.
➢ Reduces the use of paper
Efficiency
➢ Ensuring the inviolability of samples.
➢ Confidential use of data (Privacy of data)
➢ Offers security measures.
➢ Ensures product safety and
compliance.
Safety
➢ Failure to comply may lead to the laboratory facing serious repercussions or undesirable events.
Compliance
➢ Goal: paperless laboratory work
➢ Access to data and information is
easier, effective and time-efficient.
Speed
➢ Mitigates the burden of working in the lab.
➢ No longer have to worry about oversights and manual mistakes as LIMS detects and immediately reports them.
