 LABORATORY
INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
 LABORATORY INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LIMS)
• is designed to help process information in
medical research to improve the efficiency of
the department’s services and laboratory
operations by reducing tasks and procedures.
According to Reisenwitz (2017), the functionality of
LIMS are:

Sample Management
• accurate and detail records are necessary to
make sure that samples are not lost or mixed up

Workflow Management
• LIMS can be used to automate records and
workflows which saves time

Reporting
• can be run and exported to make them standard
and customized
According to Reisenwitz (2017), the functionality of
LIMS are:
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
• some LIMS have a built-in-electronic health
records (EHR) functionally which is capable
handling patient records and billing information.

Mobile
• mobile LIMS offerings are limited

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

• specially used for in viewing current supplies,
circulating storage, capacity, and managing
location
 CORE
COMPONENTS OF
LIMS
usually involve multiple components to provide a
variety of functions for different levels of laboratory
Components of a LIMS software but are not limited to
the following:

• Electronic laboratory notebooks

• Sample management programs
• Process execution software
• Records management software
• Applications to interface with analytical or data
systems
• Workflow tools
• Client tracking applications
• Best practice and compliance databases
• ERP software
 Laboratory Standard
Some important provisions from the standard are cited below:
• Laboratory is a workplace where hazardous chemicals are
used.
•

Chemicals should meet the conditions listed below:

The manipulation of chemicals should be on “laboratory

scale” only and can be handled by one person.
•
• There is the use of multiple chemicals and procedures
 Laboratory Standard
* The procedures should not simulate any production process.

* Protective laboratory tools are available and proper practices are

followed to minimize potential exposure to harmful chemicals.

*Any hazardous use of chemicals which does not meet this definition

is regulated under other standards. Examples are

✔chemicals used in the maintenance of the laboratory building,

A Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) which discusses
all aspects of the laboratory standards should be
formulated if the standards apply.

The primary elements of a CHP include the

following:
1. establishment of standard operating procedures
(SOP)
2. monitoring of the work environment
3. statement of plan on how to obtain free medical
care for work-related exposures; and
4. designation of personnel who will handle CHP-
related activities
 LIMS APPLICATION
Patient Registration
• admission clerk will take some basic information
 LIMS APPLICATION
Billing
• The process of generating SOAs
(statement of accounts) or billing
statements of inpatients, out-patients,
and emergencies are the same.
 Contract Management

• They provide parameters for a

flexible price schedule and enable
heightened attention on customer
needs
 ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLES
• Through the integration of the LIMS, the personnel in
charge of managing accounts receivables can easily
extract information

Additionally, the LIMS can:

generate specific or complete accounts receivable reports,
•
• monitor balances for reconciliation and audit purposes,
•
• export data to other accounting systems, and
•
WORKLIST AND WORKFLOW
• This function allows the user to track a sample, a
batch of samples, or numerous batches through
their lifecycle
• Ultimately, the worklist and workflow functions
operate to facilitate more efficient laboratory
processes.
 QUALITY CONTROL
• Diagnostic tests executed inside the clinical laboratory may
yield two kinds of results, a patient result or a quality
control (QC) result. The result can be quantitative (in
numbers), or qualitative (positive or negative) or semi-
quantitative (limited to a few different values). QC results
are used to verify whether or not the instrument is working
within prescribed parameters.
 BARCODE-GENERATION,
PRINTING,
• LIMS modules are commonly linked to a
AND READING
barcoding label generator which enables a fast
and easy method to identify tubes, samples,
documents, and many others.
• The label can simply be printed on a sticker
and be placed on any item which needs
identification.
 In-built Bi-directional
Interfaces
with
• A bi-directional Equipment
interface
application saves time in
programming test orders into
the analyzer and eliminates
errors in manual entry. This
can result in a considerable
enhancement of analyzer
productivity
