It’s ideal to discuss how using a software solution can improve laboratory workflows and further regulatory compliance, but the solution should not be viewed simply in terms of “install and use.” Your lab will need to learn more about the underlying technologies and what resources will be required to further support their effective and secure use. What security standards and protocols does the system use and what will the lab need to do, if anything, to support them? How will cloud technologies change internal thinking about and responsibility for cybersecurity? Will staff need to be trained on any aspects of information technology? Who will support the lab in matters of technology and cybersecurity if those knowledge resources aren’t available internally? These and other similar questions will need to be addressed in advance before even deciding on a LIMS to implement.
For a LIMS implementation to be most successful in a clinical lab, it must properly plan for it and have critical buy-in from core stakeholders. This is most effectively accomplished through change management strategies that help the lab understand, plan for, implement and communicate the change a LIMS will bring. Understanding is brought about by defining the goals and envisioned successes associated with the LIMS, and what steps that will need to be taken to achieve those successes. Planning involves garnering management and other stakeholder buy-in to those goals and successes and defining LIMS implementation scope and responsibility. Implementing change requires establishing success indicators, identifying training requirements, appointing key support personnel for the LIMS, and tracking and acting upon laboratorians’ concerns and criticisms. Finally, communicating change — one of the most critical aspects of change management — involves finding the right tone, relevance, and clarity to the change you’re prescribing to the lab. That communication should highlight the other three components of change management, while imparting a tone of awareness of and desire to change, as well as practical knowledge about how to implement and sustain the change in the long term.

For a LIMS implementation to be most successful in a clinical lab, it must properly plan for it and have critical buy-in from core stakeholders. This is most effectively accomplished through change management strategies that help the lab understand, plan for, implement and communicate the change a LIMS will bring. Understanding is brought about by defining the goals and envisioned successes associated with the LIMS, and what steps that will need to be taken to achieve those successes. Planning involves garnering management and other stakeholder buy-in to those goals and successes and defining LIMS implementation scope and responsibility. Implementing change requires establishing success indicators, identifying training requirements, appointing key support personnel for the LIMS, and tracking and acting upon laboratorians’ concerns and criticisms. Finally, communicating change — one of the most critical aspects of change management — involves finding the right tone, relevance, and clarity to the change you’re prescribing to the lab. That communication should highlight the other three components of change management, while imparting a tone of awareness of and desire to change, as well as practical knowledge about how to implement and sustain the change in the long term.
