A laboratory information management system, more commonly referred to as a LIMS, is a software system designed to help manage the workflow and daily operations in a laboratory. What exactly is a LIMS? Although LIMS providers design their software a bit differently, at its core, the laboratory software system focuses on data management for specimen […]
In an effort to control the COVID-19 pandemic and to significantly scale up testing capacity, governments throughout the world have set up screening programmes. In Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany, the software systems from MIPS are playing an important role in these programmes by facilitating the communication between the laboratories, the governmental software platforms, and the various agencies that centralise and report on the data.

If you are about to embark on finding an Anatomic Pathology (AP) LIS supplier, which criteria should you consider when choosing a vendor? Romaric Croes, pathologist and founder of LIS DaVinci and clinical director at MIPS, offers some recommendations.
MIPS supports GGD laboratories in the fight against the Coronavirus In order to enable a broad national covid-19 screening program, the Dutch government took the decision to launch a central IT platform, the ‘CoronIT platform’. The rapid connection of all GGD’s testing laboratories to this platform was an essential part of the project. In the […]
One of the major drivers for forming genomic laboratory hubs is to ensure quality at scale and equitable testing, by encouraging greater standardisation. However, CliniSys genomics consultant Steve Abbs argues that hubs in themselves will struggle to achieve this, and other drivers and facilitators are needed – not least a single LIMS.
Point-of-Care The diversity of point-of-care testing (POCT) locations, devices, and operators makes its management and connectivity challenging. However, the greatest benefit of a POCT result is its rapid turnaround time (TAT). That TAT is not realized if the result is not immediately available to the provider or care team for action. Thus, connectivity is imperative […]
Kim Futrell, MLS(ASCP), MSHI Industry, Leadership, LIS A request for proposal (RFP) is a method that many companies use to solicit bids or proposals for a service or project. The RFP process is tightly structured and intends to provide unbiased, competitive proposals that make it easier for buyers to compare responses between different vendors or […]
As Dutch hospitals evolve new care strategies, GLIMS and CyberLab support complex, multi-site and multidisciplinary activities. This preferred LIS of Dutch hospitals and private labs is now being used in four more healthcare organizations, with proven project management creating a smooth transition. More and more, Dutch hospitals and labs are merging or collaborating for effective, […]
