Andrew Wyatt, Chief Growth Officer at Sapio Sciences*, discusses how laboratory information management systems can improve a lab’s turnaround time. With so much activity, any delay, at any step in the process, can significantly impact samples processing and results reporting, and extend a lab’s TAT. Dealing with this scale of samples requires highly effective process management, with even minor errors leading to significant delays, which can have serious ramifications for patients. Managing sample processing while carefully and accurately deciphering the data generated requires extraordinary attention to detail. As such, the LIMS can expand and automate processes, guarantee precise sample management, data integration and analysis, increase operational efficiency, and drive down TAT.
