{{Article of the week}}
An '''[[electronic health record]] (EHR)''' is an evolving concept, "defined as a longitudinal collection of electronic health information about individual patients and populations." It is a record in digital format that is theoretically capable of being shared across different health care settings. In some cases this sharing can occur by way of network-connected enterprise-wide information systems and other information networks or exchanges. EHRs may include a range of data, including demographics, medical history, medication and allergies, immunization status, [[laboratory]] test results, radiology images, vital signs, personal stats like age and weight, and billing information.
<div align="center">'''[[Main Page/Featured article of the week/2024|— See more archived featured articles —]]'''</div>
 
The differences between an EHR and an [[electronic medical record]] (EMR) differ from entity to entity and from country to country. For example, the [[United States Department of Health and Human Services|U.S. Department of Health and Human Services]] (HHS) notes that despite the interchanging of the terms "EMR" and "EHR," it considers them two separate entities: the EMR came first, used primarily by medical clinicians for diagnosis and treatment, while the EHR came into existence as a more holistic, inclusive collection of a patient's health data.

What does it mean to be "key" for the purpose of this ranking? The criterion for a vendor selling proprietary commercial laboratory informatics software being listed here: the vendor's LIMSwiki page must have a ''cited'' (from a publicly-available source) price list. Those with demonstration videos are given higher preference; items ranked by number of videos. Go [[:Category:Vendors|here]] for all listed vendors in the wiki.

[[File:Medical Software Logo, by Harry Gouvas.JPG|left|180px]]'''I wanted to highlight some of the projects''' we've worked on over the past few years. I feel like as the wiki grows, some of the tools buried within it tend to get lost. First, I'd like to again mention the [[LIMSWiki:Resources|LIMSwiki informatics resource portal]]. This project was dedicated to collating as many useful online scientific and health informatics-related materials and research tools as possible. It includes links to books, magazines, journals, blogs, organizations, special-interest groups, government entities, academic programs, conferences, trade shows, research tools, job boards, and a whole lot more related to [[laboratory informatics|laboratory]], [[health informatics|health]], and other types of [[informatics (academic field)|informatics]]. I can't stress enough how extensive we've tried to make this collection of resources.
 
We have other resources too that shouldn't go unnoticed:
 
* The [[Laboratory, Scientific, and Health Informatics Buyer's Guide]]: a guide to buying informatics systems, with a list of vendors who have public pricing
* [[LIMSWiki:LIMSforum and LIMS/LI forum posts]]: a collection of popular laboratory informatics discussions dating back to 2010
* The [[LIMS and laboratory informatics questionnaire]]: a request for information (RFI) document to help users in buying an informatics system
* [[Limspec]]: a related but different tool for building a personalized collection of cataloging requirements and vendor questions

'''We have a couple of brief updates''' to give you regarding the wiki. First, we've expanded the help section of the wiki by updating a few existing help pages and adding a few new ones. Additionally, we've added a new collection of [[Help:MediaWiki basics|MediaWiki training guides]] to 1. help users new to MediaWiki more rapidly make meaningful edits and 2. to further encourage new users to make wiki contributions. We hope you find the training guides and exercises useful. Second, we've [[Special:Version|upgraded to MediaWiki 1.21.2]], added new extensions, and will be moving the content to what will hopefully be a more rapid server. All these upgrades should translate to a more functional and inviting [[informatics]] wiki. Happy wiki-ing!

"OptiGUI DataCollector: A graphical user interface for automating the data collecting process in optical and photonics labs"

OptiGUI DataCollector is a Python 3.8-based graphical user interface (GUI) that facilitates automated data collection in optics and photonics research and development equipment. It provides an intuitive and easy-to-use platform for controlling a wide range of optical instruments, including spectrometers and lasers. OptiGUI DataCollector is a flexible and modular framework that enables simple integration with different types of devices. It simplifies experimental workflow and reduces human error by automating parameter control, data acquisition, and analysis. OptiGUI DataCollector is currently focused on optical mode conversion utilizing fiber optic technologies ... (Full article...)

Outside the wiki's encyclopedic content, more than a decade's worth of guides and white papers, question and answer (Q&A) articles, journal articles, and books can be found. Use the search portals and links below to search through and navigate this extensive content. You may also find links to this wiki's more popular guides in the left-hand navigation of the site.


Guides, white papers, and more

Learn.png

A LIMSwiki guide or white paper is a topical, cited work researched, written, and edited to meet a certain standard of rigor. The topics of these guides and white papers have been chosen over the years to address both contemporary and long-time themes in laboratory and scientific informatics, as well as technologically adjacent themes like cloud computing and cybersecurity. (Note that in the LII: namespace where these are found, once can also find other "launch" pages for material such as recorded webinars, EdX courses, and other industry works.)
 
Browse all 44 LIMSwiki guides and white papers.

LIMS Q&A articles

QandAIcon.png

A LIMSwiki Q&A article is a brief topical article that is researched, written, and edited to answer a specific question, with necessary citations. The questions asked in these articles usually relate to specific industries that depend on laboratories, the laboratory informatics applications used in those industries, or some other laboratory/informatics-adjacent topic such as ISO/IEC 17025. A loose limit of 1,200 to 1,400 words is strived for, but sometimes they may go significantly longer in order to best answer the question.
 
Browse all 34 LIMSwiki Q&A articles.

Journal articles

WikiJournal of Science logo (flat blue).svg.png

A LIMSwiki journal article is a selected open-access article relating to various fields of informatics, laboratory management, and data management, free to republish elsewhere with proper citation. You can browse the collection using the tools below. (For a full listing of journals—open-access and otherwise—relating to laboratory informatics, bioinformatics, and other forms of informatics, please see LIMSWiki:Resources/Journals.)

It's been a while. How about a few updates? First, today you'll notice a bit of a refresh of the front page. It was becoming increasingly obvious that for a wiki that's been around for well over a decade, finding something across the various namespaces (i.e., areas) still wasn't easy. A plethora of links were pasted across the front page, but that wasn't enough. This front page update is the first of several steps towards making knowledge and information a bit more findable on the wiki (there's always more that can be done). We now have a mini search portal for our four larger non-encyclopedic areas: guides and white papers, Q&A articles, journal articles, and books. This not only highlights these four areas more prominently but also gives users several ways to search and navigate the content in those areas. Second, a difficult decision was made to scale back vendor content. To the point prior about highlighting this wiki's encyclopedic and non-encyclopedic knowledge repository, it was time to move the vendors from the encyclopedic space to their own namespace, the Vendor: namespace. While vendor content is still highly useful to LIMSWiki users, its no longer as front-facing. Additionally, maintaining feature tables for each vendor was increasingly labor-intensive. As such, feature tables were removed, recognizing at the same time the onus remains fully on vendors to be more transparent about making public the full functionality of their offerings so potential buyers can make more informed decisions. Vendor records still retain their history, highlight offerings (i.e., LIMS, LIS, ELN, SDMS, and CDS), industries served, and other original information.

Fig3 Liscouski SciStudGuideLabInfo23.png
Are you studying some sort of laboratory-based science in university? How well do your classes address laboratory informatics topics, particularly in the scope of industrial labs and how they operate outside of academia? If you find the discussion lacking, then his guide by industry veteran Joe Liscouski will be worth a look. In his guide A Science Student's Guide to Laboratory Informatics, Liscouski presents "an annotated map of the laboratory portion of a technological world, identifying critical points of interest and how they relate to one another, while making recommendations for the reader to learn more." Hope you find it useful! Shawn Douglas (talk) 18:48, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
