[[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)]]. 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! | '''We have a couple of brief updates''' to give you regarding the wiki.

Welcome to LIMSwiki.org, the laboratory, health, and science informatics encyclopedia.
LIMSwiki is a collaborative wiki dedicated to the scientific community, featuring organized, documented, and up-to-date content regarding all aspects of laboratory informatics, bioinformatics, and health informatics. LIMSwiki also strives to maintain relevant knowledge about laboratory equipment as well as commercial and open-source software likely to be used in a laboratory setting. This also includes the vendors of such equipment and software. Like any community wiki, the value and success of LIMSwiki is dependent upon the scientific community contributing their vast knowledge through the creation of relevant articles and editing of existing articles where knowledge is absent. If you wish to enrich the content of this wiki or have something of value to add, please request an account and get started. |

Featured article of the week
 A public health laboratory is a laboratory that serves regional, national, or in some cases global communities by providing clinical diagnostic testing, environmental testing, disease diagnosis and evaluation, emergency response support, applied research, regulation and standards recommendations, laboratory training, and other essential services to the communities they serve. A public health laboratory is unlike the average commercial laboratory as it functions as a core part of a broad public health system. The public health laboratory must typically meet more stringent requirements, including adhering to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) (for labs in the United States) as well as regulations laid out by the departments, agencies, and other regulatory bodies of local, state, and/or national governments. Finally, the private medical laboratory focuses on tests that diagnose the diseases of individuals, while the functions of the public health laboratory serve entire populations. On a global level, the public health laboratory is influenced and supported by the the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL). In the U.S. they are influenced, overseen, and/or regulated by several federal agencies. (Full article...) |

Key cloud- or SaaS-based laboratory informatics software
Listed below are key commercial and open-source laboratory informatics software offerings listed in the wiki that utilize the cloud or software as a service (SaaS) model. "Key" indicates vendor's (or software's) LIMSwiki page has a cited (from a publicly-available source) price list. Those with demonstration videos are given higher preference; items ranked by number of videos.
