Barts Health NHS Trust had a mixed estate of LIMS across its sites. The Trust identified that management of multiple systems and hardware platforms was far from optimal, and the migration to a single platform across all sites would improve efficiency and workflow, and would enable all sites to benefit from enhanced WinPath Enterprise functionality.
We consider how the tumultuous events of 2020 will impact on 2021, and how they will affect the company, the NHS, and the world of pathology for years to come.
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 […]
Experts working for Severn Pathology at North Bristol NHS Trust have helped to create new modules for the WinPath Enterprise laboratory information system to support the delivery of the National Newborn Blood Spot Screening Programme and donor-recipient matching for organ donation.
We reflect on some of the profound changes that the novel coronavirus has brought to CliniSys, to healthcare, and to pathology, and how they are likely to play out in a post-Covid future.
Gaining ISO 15189 accreditation is just the start of the hard work, says Tony Oliver, Programme Manager and laboratory accreditation expert at CliniSys. The ongoing accreditation process is a challenge that involves everyone in the lab, with LIMS at its heart.
Selecting your laboratory information management system (LIMS) is one of the most crucial decisions you will make for your lab and your company.
What can the mobilising genomics laboratory hubs learn from the more advanced pathology networks? CliniSys marketing manager Matthew Fouracre put the question to programme manager Tony Oliver and genomics consultant Steve Abbs, who agreed the first lesson would be: implement a single laboratory information system to drive standardisation.
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.
