Clinical laboratory LIMS – An Essential Part of Hospital Diagnostics

A clinical laboratory LIMS has become the first line of defence against data chaos in today’s extremely complicated scenario. Hundreds of outpatients and inpatients and an equal number of samples for testing and reporting. Add to that specific requests by physicians on urgency of certain samples and the diagnostic lab can be severely crippled in the absence of a robust, yet agile, information system.

Speed, precision and correct reporting is of the utmost importance to a diagnostic lab handling hundreds of sensitive samples every day. It is on the results of these tests that the medical future of the patient depends and the physician cannot do much till accurate results arrive at the earliest.

A clinical laboratory software needs to be devised considering these important points. Ease of managing any number of samples and passing them through a complex chain of processes till the results are generated and then getting the results to the appropriate end user.  

A diagnostic labs software should be able to provide user definable test masters and test panel. It should also have user definable reference ranges. It should also offer a limitless number and types of reference ranges based on age and sex. The software should be extremely flexible when it comes to customization.

Many labs these days have multiple collection centers. These centers than ship the sample to a single, central facility where the sample is tested and results are generated. The diagnostic labs software should also take multiple location sampling into consideration and provide accurate and time bound results to each center.

Today, most labs rely heavily on a clinical laboratory management software without which handling of such a large number of samples would be a veritable nightmare. Manual entry on ledgers and record books is a thing of the past and use of reliable software has been no less than a boon for all – lab workers, physicians and patients.

The clinical laboratory LIMS should also be an effective interface between multiple clinical instruments. The more connected the system, lesser the time spent on testing and reporting leading to a high degree of efficiency.
