The Challenge of Point-of-Care Competency Assessments: How an Effective POCT Data Management System Helps with Compliance

Lab Administration, Point-of-Care Laboratory competency assessments are important to ensure that lab testing is being performed accurately. However, among all laboratory inspection agencies — Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), College of American Pathology (CAP), Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation (COLA), Joint Commission, etc. — the most cited deficiency is related to incomplete competency assessment performance […]

Advancements in Laboratory Operations Powering the Shift to Data-Centricity

No longer is LIMS data viewed as merely a by-product of laboratory operations, instead it is seen as a powerful asset, that can enable the identification of opportunities for improvement, pinpoint bottlenecks and even help build a business case for new resources. Discover what else data can do for your lab. 

Preparing Your Laboratory for the Food Traceability Final Rule

The final rule is anticipated to be enforced by January 20, 2026, when any entity that manufactures, processes, packs or holds a food product on the Food Traceability List (FTL) must have a traceability plan in place. The impact on food safety laboratories that support the food supply chain are extensive, particularly regarding compliance and response to foodborne illness outbreaks. 

Northern Ireland CoreLIMS and Blood Production and Tracking

The Infected Blood Inquiry recommended the introduction of ‘vein-to-vein’ tracking to improve the oversight of blood stocks, demand and outcomes for patients. In 2022, the then Northern Ireland Health Minister, Robin Swann, committed Northern Ireland to establishing the first system in Europe by 2027.

The Growth of Digital Pathology Adoption

Kim Futrell, MLS(ASCP), MSHI Pathology, Digital Pathology Laboratories are steadily embracing digital pathology, even with the many challenges to widespread adoption. Digital pathology has the potential to transform pathology by improving efficiency, depth of analysis, and the opportunity for collaboration. By adopting a sophisticated anatomic pathology laboratory information system (APLIS) alongside a digital pathology solution, […]

Standardized Vocabularies Boost Interoperability: LOINC & SNOMED CT

Standardized terminologies in healthcare allow for the exchange of patient data and information, which is the foundation of interoperability. To identify textual data, each data element needs to be linked to a unique code that translates it. Standardized vocabularies, like LOINC and SNOMED CT, are used to distinguish diagnostic terms and are developed by recognized […]

Addressing Resource and Technology Challenges in Food Safety Laboratories

Increased regulatory requirements, together with demands for greater scale and speed of operations, create a challenging environment for food producers and the food testing industry who are tasked with guaranteeing the safe supply of food, from farm to fork.

Adapting for the Future: The Need for Agile and Scalable LIMS

As laboratories across diverse industries continue to evolve, there is a growing need for Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) that go beyond traditional capabilities. Laboratories today face increasing pressures to enhance efficiency, integrate seamlessly with other systems, ensure data integrity and regulatory compliance, and scale to meet changing demands.
