What's throttling throughput in your diagnostics lab?

WRITTEN BY: Sarah Hoffman

Clinical diagnostic labs are at the crossroads of strict regulatory requirements, high customer expectations, and complex workflows. However, manual methods and disjointed systems struggle to keep up, threatening turnaround time, operational efficiency, accuracy, and compliance. A scalable and open laboratory information management system (LIMS) can empower clinical labs to transform bottlenecks into opportunities—accelerating turnaround time, enhancing efficiency, enabling full sample traceability, and simplifying compliance.

This whitepaper examines four key bottlenecks in today’s clinical lab, identifies key paths to resolve them, and presents strategies to overcome them using an end-to-end configurable Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) as part of a unified informatics platform.
