The Power Of Horizon LIMS Backed By The Clinisys Group
Earlier this year, HORIZON Lab Systems and ApolloLIMS and were acquired by Clinisys Group, growing the organization’s community and public health diagnostics capability. Clinisys is one of the largest providers of laboratory information systems (LIS), order entry and result consultation, and public health solutions in disease surveillance and outbreak management across the United Kingdom, Europe, and United States. The […]
Pathology and technology; developing together
We consider some of the big developments in pathology and how technology will help laboratories to confront current challenges while preparing for the future of personalised medicine.
CliniSys National Conference
CliniSys was thrilled to once again invite our LIMS and ICE customers to the CliniSys National Conference and User Group which was held at The Belfry, West Midlands. The two-day programme consisted of educational conference sessions, exhibition, training and company updates. Even with the rail strike, we saw over 300 delegates attend over the two days.
How to Use Autoverification in the Laboratory to Improve Efficiency
Kim Futrell, MT(ASCP), MSHI Lab Stewardship, LIS Using your laboratory information system (LIS) for autoverification is one of the most effective ways your lab can reduce hands-on tech time through process automation. Depending on the lab menu and patient population, 40% to 95% of results could qualify for autoverification.1,2 What is autoverification? Autoverification is a […]
Berkshire and Surrey Pathology Services underpins expansion with WinPath Enterprise
Pathology network takes in Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, creating one of the largest, consolidated lab services in the country. A single instance of WinPath Enterprise will support hub and spoke working and further change.
WinPath Enterprise keeps services running
One of the arguments that is often put forward to support the formation of a pathology network is that laboratories will be able to transfer work from one site to another if there is a crisis. The blood transfusion service for a hospital in the West Midlands found that was true when a routine IT upgrade took down a critical server array. Mike Herbert, Blood Transfusion lead at Black Country Pathology Services, explains.
Demystifying the Next-Generation Sequencing Workflow: Part 2
Clinical diagnostic laboratories have specific requirements to maintain chain of custody of all samples and data generated across the testing workflow, and this requirement is especially challenging for NGS-based tests, where many daughter samples are generated across the multi-day workflow. Clinical diagnostic labs also must retain patient data for at least 2 years after the test […]
Demystifying the Next-Generation Sequencing Workflow: Part 1
NGS Workflow Overview The NGS workflow is a multi-step process that creates some challenges for the diagnostic testing laboratory. The chemical processes generate many daughter samples that must be traced back to the original parent specimen. Laboratories need effective naming conventions and a robust LIMS that can maintain chain of custody across the workflow and […]
