Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) Course
Introduction:
There is growing demand on laboratories to cut expenses and boost output. One method of accomplishing these objectives is the installation of the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). The majority of LIMS, however, automate the current quo, which might not be the most effective method of automating a laboratory. In order to optimize your investment in Information Technology (IT), is it necessary to revamp or streamline the laboratory processes? This quick training aims to equip learners with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully implement a LIMS.
Course Objectives:
The course will concentrate on LIMS from two perspectives:
Product: LIMS (it's positioning within an organization and interaction with other Departments and systems). Process: Change and project management (neglect of this side of the equation means that many implementations will fail). Participants will be using case study material during the workshop sessions; these will involve various phases of a LIMS project for the well-known solution.
Who Should Attend?
Laboratory managers and senior staff, computer professionals, and quality assurance personnel involved in a LIMS project.
