As peak influenza season ramps up, laboratories nationwide face a surge in testing demands, data management challenges, and operational pressures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has already reported elevated influenza activity, with trends indicating a prolonged flu season. This seasonal spike not only affects public health but also underscores the need for laboratories to enhance preparedness, optimize…

The clinical laboratory services market is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by increasing demand for diagnostics, advancements in laboratory technology, and shifts in healthcare delivery models. With the industry projected to reach $317.14 billion by 2034, laboratories must adapt to growing workloads, stringent compliance requirements, and the rising need for automation and efficiency. This article explores the key factors fueling market…

In the dynamic realm of healthcare, clinical laboratories are at the forefront of innovation, constantly striving to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and patient care. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) is proving to be a game-changer, revolutionizing the way labs operate and unlocking a new era of possibilities. Intelligent Automation: Streamlining the Lab Workflow The…

In the high-stakes world of healthcare, laboratory accuracy isn’t just a goal – it’s a mandate. Errors can ripple through patient care, leading to misdiagnoses, delayed treatments, and even adverse outcomes. Recognizing this critical need, LabLynx has developed a LIMS solution specifically designed to mitigate risks and bolster patient safety in healthcare laboratories. The Stakes Are High: The Impact of…

Clinical diagnostics: From the doctor’s office to a more complex organization… Diagnostic laboratory testing can involve quite a few moving parts: health insurance companies, having the doctor’s orders directed to them and the lab, dealing with forms (or completing them on a computer or smartphone), actually having samples taken, and then waiting for the results. Making all this work and…

Infectious diseases are still among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2007, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that infectious diseases were emerging at an unprecedented rate. Over 40 infectious diseases have been discovered in the past 50 years, including AIDS, SARS, MERS, Ebola, avian influenza, swine flu, Zika, and most recently COVID-19. Some infectious diseases have even reemerged,…

Managing your clinical diagnostic laboratory’s information has become as important as managing the laboratory itself. More data-intensive technologies, more comprehensive regulatory compliance, and other trends require an effective laboratory information management system (LIMS) to effectively manage all that data. In our e-book The Ideal LIMS for Clinical Diagnostics: A Practical Buyer’s Guide, we shared several lessons we’ve learned over more…

Clinical laboratories face new security challenges that could force them to choose between LIS/LIMS system flexibility and data security. But, what if there is a way for flexibility and security to coexist?…
