Clinical laboratories are a primary source of healthcare data and generate massive amounts of data on a day-to-day basis. Clinical data is crucial for drug discovery, identification of novel biomarkers, disease prognosis, clinical studies, and for providing personalized health care to patients. Clinical laboratories face numerous challenges on a daily basis. These include securely managing biospecimens, patient consent, safeguarding sensitive patient data, managing clinical tests and their results, managing resources, such as personnel, instruments, consumables, besides following best practices and regulatory guidelines such as HIPAA, EU GDPR, CLIA, ISO 15189:2012, GCP, etc.

CloudLIMS- A One-Stop Clinical LIMS Software
CloudLIMS is a purpose-built, scalable, SaaS, in the cloud LIMS. It grows with your clinical laboratory by supporting your data management, automation, and regulatory requirements. With a cloud solution, the LIMS can be accessed anytime, anywhere, is easy to deploy and enables clinical laboratories to quickly automate without the need to invest in IT infrastructure or personnel.
CloudLIMS customers have realized benefits in the following ways:
Clinical Test Report
Clinical testing laboratories receive hundreds of samples and generate massive volumes of analytical data on a day-to-day basis. Manual transfer of data from analytical instruments to a LIMS is error-prone and time-consuming. For effective management of growing data volumes and laboratory automation, instrument and software integration is indispensable. Instrument and software integration facilitates data transfer from analytical instruments and software to a LIMS respectively, thereby eliminating chances of transcription errors, data redundancy, and ensuring data integrity. Furthermore, it helps in automating laboratory workflows, thereby saving time and resources, reducing turnaround times, and enhancing efficiency.
CloudLIMS supports instrument and software integration in the following ways:
CSV/XLS is a standard output file type generated by most analytical instruments. The CSV file mapping enables data to be imported from multiple instruments into a LIMS. CloudLIMS periodically reads instrument generated CSV files and maps the headers present in the files with the correct fields in CloudLIMS, thereby transferring the analytical data to CloudLIMS seamlessly.
CloudLIMS offers REST API to integrate with third-party software such as EMR, EHR, LIS. Furthermore, CloudLIMS can be integrated with medical or clinical billing software to effectively manage revenue cycles and minimize billing errors, enhancing customer experience.
