A laboratory information management system is the single most useful solution for the modern labs of today. It is the solution that converts a simple lab to a lab ready for the future. A LIMS brings in the feature that everyone loves from patients to users, ‘automation’. A seamless system where everything is ‘Convenient’ from appointment scheduling to results, all things are automated and free from errors.

While quality as a term can be relative, but broadly there are a few things which can help us understand the level of quality improvement in a lab. A few broad categories are explained below.

Integration

The new age laboratory is full of equipment which is used to generate reports for patients as the need arises. A laboratory information management system (LIMS) created a conducive environment where data is transferred from machines to the software and vice versa in the easiest way possible. The data transfer is seamless, fast and responsive. All these things help in increasing the productivity of the lab by saving time in comparison where someone had to manually transfer results and make tests on the various machines.

Reporting

If you can pinpoint one activity which is the most time consuming and the one which has the most negative impact on employee morale, it would be compiling reports manually. Each and every data point needs to be manually tested and double checked for its authentication. Whereas, with LIMS this is the easiest work for anyone. Reliability of data and its security is top notch. Also, LIMS helps produce customizable reports as per the customer needs. These reports can be shared with clients and management via the online or offline model.

Sample Testing

Under the normal business practice, samples need to be tested against standards. With a laboratory information management system, this process can be done with the click of a button. The LIMS can check samples against standards as soon as these are entered in the system. All the samples which seem normal will be duly processed, but all samples which are out of specifications will attract a red flag. Therefore alerting the pathologist for his attention on the same.

All these above-mentioned features not only help in increasing the overall quality of the lab but also help in reducing the turnaround time of the lab reports.
