Computers in the laboratory are not a recent phenomenon. The mid-1960s saw clinical laboratory computerization become increasingly popular[1][2][3][4][5], though that enthusiasm was often based on the potential of the computers themselves rather than their actual capabilities.[1] Researchers imagined potentials such as automatic specimen label generation, daily log and report management, instrument interfacing and data processing, results comparisons, and time management tools. It would take time for some of those potentials to be realized.[1]
However, we've come a long way since the 1960s, to a point where the question is no longer "can a computerized system help my lab?" but rather "how do I choose and implement an informatics system to help my lab?"
Today we find the laboratory information management system (LIMS) and its related companion, the laboratory information system (LIS), to be the most common informatics solutions used in laboratories. In the next section, we examine what LIMS and LIS are and how they are able to streamline laboratory workflows and improve conformance to laboratory standards and regulatory requirements.
